June 17, 2008 - Fayston, VT - Little Pines Multimedia has launched LearntoSailOnLine.Com, a website that allows newbie or rusty sailors access to affordable, individual sailing lessons anytime from anywhere.

They sincerely want to learn to sail, however, the nomenclature and fast information presented on site can be overwhelming.

The more advanced lessons provide an opportunity for rusty sailors to brush up on those skills just before heading out on the water." states Linda Cullum, CEO of Little Pines Multimedia.
