Anche se la vela è l’anima di ogni barca, non possiamo dimenticare l’importanza del motore, specialmente nelle manovre di ormeggio o quando il vento cala. Un elemento cruciale del motore è la sua leva del cambio. Questa leva, spesso trascurata, è il cuore della navigazione a motore. La leva del cambio controlla la trasmissione del motore, permettendo di passare da folle, a marcia avanti, a retromarcia. È un meccanismo semplice ma potente, che dà al navigatore il controllo completo sulla propulsione della barca. Usare la leva del cambio richiede sensibilità e precisione. Un movimento troppo brusco può essere scomodo per i passeggeri, mentre un uso attento e ponderato assicura una navigazione fluida e confortevole. È un gioco di equilibrio, che richiede conoscenza e esperienza. Inoltre, la leva del cambio è fondamentale nelle manovre delicate, come l’attracco o la partenza dal molo. In questi momenti, ogni azione conta, e una buona padronanza della leva del cambio può fare la differenza tra una manovra sicura e una situazione rischiosa. In conclusione, la leva del cambio di una barca a vela non è solo un semplice strumento; è un’estensione del navigatore, un ponte tra uomo e macchina, essenziale per una navigazione sicura e piacevole. #Vela #MotoreBarcaAVela #LevaDelCambio #Navigazione #TecnicaDiOrmeggio #Mare #Velismo #Navigare #VitaInBarca #PassionePerIlMare
Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this video shot on the Solent, we look at gybing in a little more detail. First thing we do before gybing is to centre the main. In the clip recorded during a Competent Crew course sailing out of Southampton, you see us on port tack; and we'll gybe onto starboard tack. As the stern goes through the wind, the wind gets behind the sails, and the headsail will start to come over, and the main will come across. We don't need to do anything with the main sheet at this point, but we do need to ease the headsail sheet on starboard, and take up the sheet on port. And then at this point we will ease the main sheet to let the main out. You can watch the first gybing tutorial video here: ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6r2qLC51s0 ** 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.
