SEA-TV Productions along with rules expert, David Dellenbaugh, the on-screen host and narrator, have designed this DVD set to make it easier to learn the international yacht racing rules.
"Learn the Racing Rules" is an excellent application of the power of video to instruct and illuminate a complex subject. Yacht racing is a very kinetic and complicated sport and the rules are very difficult to understand from reading them in the rules book. By using the power of digital video production software such as animation, computer graphics, slow motion, and stop motion, we are able to make the rules readily understandable. This along with actual racing footage and a script by one of the world’s top yacht racing rules experts makes it easier for youth and entry level racers to participate in the sport and helps experienced racers to be more confident and ultimately win more races.
There is some great racing action footage to illustrate many of the rules. SEA~TV specializes in shooting on the water and we captured great footage of Etchells and Lasers in some pretty exciting conditions. There is also excellent aerial footage of big boat races provided by North U.
