Rooster Sailing is now pleased to offer a new digital download service of these popular DVD boxes sets. This is a MP4 file converted from the original media. ‘The Boat Whisperer DOWNWIND‘ is a single MP4 file representing disc 1. (In a .zip file).

In addition, also included in the digital download as a separate MP4 file, is the ‘raw footage’ but with no commentary. This is useful so that coaches and trainers can add their own commentary and interpretation of the events.

From hours of high quality video – taken from onboard and chase boat cameras – Rooster Sailing now offers Steve Cockerill´s Boat Whisperer concepts as a download for everyone.

Mast head and transom mounted cameras captured the exciting footage of three sailors venturing out at Stokes Bay in 25-35 knots. This shows the Downwind action and presents a comprehensive debrief and investigation of the footage which enables Steve to communicate his unique perspective on sailing single-handed dinghies.

This media will be useful to both experienced and inexperienced helms to improve their technique and understanding of boat handling.

“Cockerill provides a constant narrative through-out both DVD´s (Upwind and Downwind DVD’s) using a patient and relaxed presentation. There is no quick go fast solution, Steve explains what to do, and what not to do in detail and uses the video shots and diagrams to illustrate his points. These DVD´s show you what books cannot and are well worth the investment as at each viewing you will always learn something”.
