Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this clip from our Solent RYA Competent Crew Course, you see us stopping for lunch. We bring the boat to a stop by heaving to. This is where we tack the boat but don't touch the sheet, so the headsail lies 'aback'. Once we have the wind on the main driving us forward, and the wind on the headsail pushing us back, and with the helm turned towards the wind, the boat will come to a stop. The boat will level up and be in balance. ** 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.

We also offer shore-based sailing courses in London and Southampton. Attaching the Boat to the Dock ➜ https://youtu.be/SgqVE0j132M In this short clip you see us run lines. Notice how rope becomes lines running from cleats on board to cleats on the shore. When we do this, these lines become mooring warps: one to attached the bow to the shore, one for the stern, and two to keep the boat in one place to stop it moving. Sailing Courses for Beginners ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/sailing-courses-for-beginners Starting out in sailing is exciting, but deciding where to begin can feel like a challenge. Should you get out on the water with a practical course or start with navigation theory in the classroom?

We pulled the brake master cylinder from Buster, our 1973 VW Westfalia. This and the brake booster are the ONLY things wrong with our brakes—despite the mechanic's $3,800+ estimate to replace everything. These parts? About $400 total when you order them yourself. Here's what a brake master cylinder is, how it works, and why you don't need to be intimidated by it. Roll up your sleeves, grab a wrench, and save thousands.
