There are a couple. On Sailnet there is a link to a gentleman's web site that
has prepared excellent videos and explanations on sailing, I don't remember the
exact spelling of his name Gui--- , but he did a real nice job. Also, North
Sails has an excellent for sale video on Spinnakers. Some astute web searching
and you can find it pirated. Both excellent resources. Good luck.
