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. Even if you’ve only had a brief taste of sailing, whether in the UK or abroad, the Competent Crew course offers structured learning and a strong foundation in the basics of sailing. We run our courses from Southampton, and they take place in and around the Solent. With First Class Sailing you’ll gain hands-on experience, experience life on board, and all the enjoyment it brings. By the end of the 5 day course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to be a capable and reliable crew member. The course begins and ends in Southampton, with stops at scenic destinations around the Solent, giving you the chance to experience different sailing conditions and enjoy stunning coastal views.

HAVSÖRNEN is a very fine example of Scandinavian design and boat building from Tore Holm at the peak of his powers with the build supervised by him in his family yard. Well maintained by her present owner, including a major winter refit 2016-2017 in her last ownership; she has over the years excelled on the Mediterranean regatta circuit and has also proven herself a very capable cruising yacht. Her seaworthy hull provides good headroom below, and the interior finish is a delight. HAVSÖRNEN is coming back to our list very shortly; we raced her in St Tropez some 5 years ago and she is fun to sail; quick to accelerate and potentially a race winner in the Vintage Class…S&S Yawls watch out!?
