Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew Now we're on port tack, and we need to trim the headsail to make sure we're getting the best performance out of it. The lesson includes winching it in tight, ensuring the sheet lead car is set correctly towards the aft of the sheet lead track. This short clip was filmed during one of our RYA Competent Crew course lessons on the Solent. ** About the RYA Competent Crew course in Southampton ** The RYA Competent Crew course is the perfect introduction for beginners who want to get into sailing and is specifically designed for those with little to no sailing experience. It is the ideal starting point.

After a month in Key West, we finally thought we had a 48 hour crossing window to make it to Morgans Bluff. We were wrong...or rather, the forecasts continuously changed -- for the worse. Not unsafe, but just VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. This was not the Gulf Stream Crossing we had last year.

Set Sail on Serenity: A Catamaran Adventure Through Croatia's Paradise Croatia, a jewel nestled in the Adriatic Sea, beckons with its turquoise waters, ancient cities, and endless charm. But what if you could experience it all at your own pace, the rhythm of the waves your only guide? Enter the magic of catamaran sailing – a luxurious and liberating way to explore Croatia's hidden coves and vibrant coastline. Why Catamaran? Catamarans, with their twin hulls, offer unparalleled stability and spacious decks. Imagine waking up to a sunrise over a calm bay, the gentle rocking of the boat your lullaby. Picture yourself lounging on the expansive nets, sun-kissed and carefree, as the crystal-clear water beckons for a swim. Catamarans provide ample space for relaxation, while also allowing you to navigate shallow bays inaccessible to larger yachts. Croatia's Alluring Islands Await Croatia boasts over 1,200 islands, each with its own unique personality. Your catamaran adventure can be completely customized, allowing you to island-hop at your leisure. Explore the bustling port town of Hvar, known for its nightlife and elegant harbor. Immerse yourself in history at Korčula, a medieval town said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. Discover the serenity of Vis, a haven for nature lovers with hidden beaches and secluded coves. Beyond the Islands: Cultural Gems and Culinary Delights Croatia's mainland is equally captivating. Sail into Split, a vibrant city boasting a UNESCO-protected Diocletian's Palace at its heart. Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic," will mesmerize you with its ancient walls and charming squares. As you explore each port, indulge in Croatia's rich culinary scene. Savor fresh seafood, sip on local wines, and savor the flavors of the Mediterranean. Your Perfect Croatian Escape Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a landlubber seeking a unique adventure, a catamaran cruise in Croatia promises an unforgettable experience. Imagine days spent sailing the turquoise waters, afternoons exploring charming towns, and evenings spent under starlit skies. Croatia awaits, and a catamaran is the perfect vessel to unlock its magic. Ready to set sail? Do some research on catamaran charters in Croatia.
