Dinghies And Inflatables; Haul Out

Are you confused by the variety of dinghies on the market? Me neither. But people with massive disposable income who own yachts need to have a decent dinghy when they're out tooling the big waters. Dinghies and Inflatables covers buying, towing, stowing, rowing, sailing, and general handling of your dinghy. There's some good information on safety included. Unfortunately, the editing is not too hot, with many of the same shots being repeated, and numerous dead spots in the narration. Haul Out, which has the same editing problems, covers the hauling out and maintenance overhaul procedures that boat owners dread. The opening section covers procedures that need to be performed in the boat yard (such as aligning propellers, replacing zinc anodes, etc.), while the remainder of the program is devoted to prepping and painting techniques from to top to bottom for wood, steel hull, and fiberglass boats. An optional purchase. (Available from: Anchors Aweigh Videos, 1001 Bridgeway, Suite 462, Sausalito, CA 94965.)
