Don et al, so what is a good video for that?  I took a class, and still
struggle.  Part of my problem is that I'm trying to roll an
uncooperative boat - Perceptions Carolina, 14-1/2 ft long, 25" wide, a
flat bottom, and not outfitted properly for me (I slide around the
cockpit when trying to roll).  I'm almost done building a stripper - Jay
Babina's Outer Island, 17'10" and basically 21" wide with a design that
is reportedly easy and a pleasure to roll.  As soon as I finish the
boat, I want to start practicing again, but I don't want to shell out
another $80 for the same class as I took before.  I'd rather have a
cheaper video that I can watch till the cows come home, so to speak.

Any tips, hints on another resource?  I may get Grace Under Pressure as
well, but will also want something else if it's more appropriate for my
situation.

Rick
