I've been looking for some training material to get ready for the upcomins seasons heavy weather runs in the 470, when I found this "advanced level sailing lessons" video collection at the ExpertVillage site.
Check it out on this link: http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/673_sailing-advanced.htm
All of the videos are starting with a little advertisement, which can be skipped by fast forwarding a bit. After watching the series, I feel they shouldn't call this series "advanced level", although compared to the "beginer level" other series, which deals with sail raising and learning the parts of the boat issues, it's much more practical even for those, who have actually sailed before.
The reason I've decided to still write about it and recommend it watching on one of the long pre-season evenings, is that it contains 2-3 videos, which can be a good memory-waker to think over all the tiny sail and boat adjusting elements, which are key to fast and competitive sailing, like usage of the boom-vang, the rig tuning, or the traveller. They even talk a minute about line types and their different stretching qualities. Don't expect to learn the olympic quota winning trick from the videos, but an interesting evening watching for people interested in getting the most out of your boat.
