THE OBJECTIVE is to have YOU SAFE ON THE WATER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
The price and the ease to receive the maximum information in the minimum time, will appeal to many existing mariners and certainly to most aspiring mariners. The speed and low cost of this 'All You Need To Know' video pack, is to encourage all to start a serious maritime tuition BEFORE navigation problems arise, rather than after.

YOU ARE LEARNING 'IN COMPANY' via your home TV, on board with the producer. You are navigating ports and passages 'at the speed of video'. This is very fast when compared with learning at sea in reality. Most will say, you can’t beat the real thing. However the objective of the 'Super Seven' is unique effective high speed tuition.

GET TO GRIPS WITH YOUR TUITION NOW. If you are new to the water. If you already skipper a boat but remain apprehensive. If you have little experience of the sea. If you want to navigate existing or new passages more confidently, you really ought to get to grips with this great video package. The indicated 16 hours provides a very important opening overall picture & will make very clear as to what is required. You will see that there is much to learn. Following these 16 hours, the study of each video really begins.

WORK AND ENJOY THE TUITION. You will frequently find yourself enjoying the videos, however as with any learning process, there are times when you must work. You will be directed to the Almanac, and Reed's Skippers Handbook plus the Chart information and become involved in various exercises.

REDUCE BOTH TIME AND COST OF YOUR MARINE TUITION. The 'Super Seven' pack contains no more & no less than that required to navigate a leisure boat safely. No one really wants to use up time in unnecessary marine studies. Many leisure mariners ideally, would simply like to get on and enjoy their boating. If only somehow tuition time and cost could be avoided! We regret that time and cost cannot be completely avoided, but the 'Super Seven' video pack, can and will reduce both considerably.

WHAT OF THE 'TRACK RECORD' OF THE 'SUPER SEVEN' PRODUCER? What better 'track record' could you ask, but to learn from a professional. A Master Mariner and navigator who has not only world wide experience, but also all the experience involved in the production of almost 30 videos, at sea mostly single handed. The producer has so far covered approximately 4,000 miles of intensive navigation and video acquisition for the series, now offering almost 60 hours of collective viewing.

WHAT GREAT VALUE. Your family, your friends and your crew, can all benefit from this 'Super Seven' Package at no extra cost. If you don't want to keep the 'Super Seven' proudly on your book shelf, you can even sell the pack and regain much of your outlay.
