Man Overboard:Man overboard is a life threatening situation. This video by NauticEd online sailing school (http://www.nauticed.org ) shows the how to circle back to return to the man overboard. Tack the boat immediately then circle around. Approach the victim from downwind and stop the boat on the leeward side. If you're learning to sail, one of the first things to learn is the man overboard drill.

Man Overboard: When sailing a close reach, reach or broad reach, if you have a man overboard situation follow the procedure in this video by http://www.nauticed.org - NauticEd Sailing School. Use the deep beach reach method. Tack the boat, turn downwind and sail back to the victim approaching from downwind. Position the victim on the windward side of the boat.

Near Collision Disaster: NauticEd ( http://www.nauticed.org ) has developed a series of videos explaining the rules of the nautical road. These two sailboats are operating under power. They are therefore classified as power driven vessels. In this case, the sailboat who sees the other sailboat on their right is the give way vessel. Sailing schools should use these videos to demonstrate the rules. If you're learning to sail you should take the rules of the nautical road FREE sailing course at http://www.nauticed.org/sailingcourses

Another Near Collision: When two sailboats on the same tack meet, the most leeward boat is the stand-on boat. The other must give way. In this video the sailboats nearly collide but the windward boat turns to sail in behind the leeward boat. This sailing video should also be used by sailing schools in their learn to sail seminar to teach rules of the nautical road. NauticEd developed this video for the FREE Rules of the Nautical Road online sailing course at http://www.nauticed.org/sailingcourses

Near Collision: A high tech animation of two sailboats approaching each other on a collision course. One sailboat is on starboard, the other on port. The sailboat on starboard by convention is the stand-on boat. Meaning it holds course and speed while the sailboat on port must give way to the sailboat on starboard. A sailboat on starboard means that the wind is coming from the direction across its starboard side first. A sailboat on port means the wind is coming from the direction across from its port side. In the animation you can see the boat that changes direction is on port because the wind is pushing its sails to the starboard side of the boat. i.e. sails are always on the downwind side of the sailboat. This animation is used in the NauticEd sailing school Rules of the Nautical Road FREE Sailing Course at http://www.nauticed.org/sailingcourses
