Let’s face it - learning to sail from a whiteboard just doesn’t cut it. In-person lectures often mean crowded rooms, missed details, and no way to revisit the material later. That’s why more students are turning to video learning as a better alternative.
With our Spinnaker Sailing Video Lecture Series, you get the freedom to learn on your terms, with real-world sailing demonstrations that classroom lectures simply can't provide. It’s everything you need to learn faster, remember more, and hit the water with confidence.
Learn at Your Own Pace, On Your Own Time
Unlike scheduled classroom sessions, our video lectures let you learn whenever it works best for you—whether that's early mornings before the tide rolls in or late nights reviewing maneuvers. Pause, rewind, and replay key concepts—no rushing to keep up.
On-Deck Demonstrations, Real-World Context
Our videos are filmed on actual boats in San Francisco Bay, not in sterile, indoor classrooms. You’ll learn how to:
• Identify boat parts and key terminology
• Perform maneuvers like raising and dropping sails
• Handle motor procedures, docking, tacking, jibing, and reefing
These detailed, step-by-step demos bring action to theory in a way that classroom slides or whiteboard simply can’t
Why It Beats the Classroom
Perfect for Prep, Review, and Crew Training
Use the series to prepare for upcoming lessons, reinforcing what you'll practice on deck. After class, revisit drills within a day or two for better retention—an approach proven to deepen understanding Why videos instead of Lectures?.
Plus, it’s perfect for crew members: simply share the videos so everyone arrives ready to sail together.
Built on the Proven ASA 101 Curriculum
Organized in chronological order, our library aligns with the American Sailing Association (ASA) 101 course:
1. Parts of the Boat & Terminology
2. Essential Knots
3. Sail Handling (mainsail & jib)
4. Motor Use & Docking
5. Tacking, Jibing, Reefing, and more
Each module builds on the previous one—giving you a clear learning path and the ability to track your progress.
Flexibility for All Learning Styles
Visual learners benefit from clear demonstrations; kinesthetic learners can replay complex moves until they feel routine. Want to focus on tacking or docking? Just jump to that section. In the classroom, you rarely get to pick and choose like this.
Build Confidence Before You Step Aboard
Our comprehensive approach doesn’t just teach the how—it prepares you mentally and visually before stepping aboard. You’ll step into in-person classes with confidence because:
• You’ve already seen every maneuver
• You understand the reasoning behind each action
• You’ve avoided first-time anxiety in real-world conditions
