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.

With single-handed sailing looking more popular than ever this summer, we thought we take the opportunity to shout about the spritely single-handers that we have in the RS Range; from your first adventures as a junior RS Tera sailor, gliding downwind in an RS Aero or to full ‘beast mode’ flat wiring an RS700 – there’s genuinely something for everyone. But which one is the best for you? We’ve listed these with ability in mind – fun guaranteed to be had in all; RS Tera – Fantastic junior boat, 2 different sized rigs, fast and fun way to get into sailing RS Zest – Great leisure all rounder, single-handed bliss, with the ability to add a jib and crew (if you want them) RS Neo – Intermediate sailors dream, carbon rig with all the gadgets and a durable rotomolded hull RS Aero – Beautifully simple, lightweight, modern, carbon rig, 3 rig sizes, thriving class association RS100 – Sleek lines, exhilarating hiking single-hander with gennaker. Great Class RS700 – Weapon of a skiff, trapeze, kite, epic racing and an awesome Class! Not for the faint-hearted Joking aside, the RS700 really isn’t for the faint-hearted! Take a look at the boats in more detail on our website. If you’re still unsure which one of these beauties fits your sailing dreams, get in touch with the team, they LOVE talking about boats.

We are two crazies from South Africa, Frik & Petro. We knew absolutely nothing about sailing, but the ocean has always been calling. So, we got rid of all our stuff, bought a Leopard 45 Catamaran, and set sail. Follow us as this story unfolds! This is a sea-life adventure captained by a couple of nomads who have built their lives on doing what inspires them in the moment. Join us and see how we break free of the traditional lifestyle, creating videos of our journey, adventures, life on board, and lessons learned along the way. It will be super rewarding if we can be an inspiration or contribute in any way to anybody wanting to fulfil their dreams. Follow us on our journey as we learn from legends when Sailing La Vagabonde upgraded from a monohull to a catamaran...SV Delos wants to upgrade to the latest Amel 51 monohull.... Gone with the Wynns chose a Leopard Catamaran and now upgraded to a HH44OC.... choices choices choices. We looked at other sailing channels such as Wicked Salty, Satori, Jessica and Ryan, Catamaran Impi, MJ Sailing, Happy Together, Sailing Uma, Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose, Zingaro, Miss Lone Star, Sailing Doodles, Drenched, Lucky Fish gets Away, RAN Sailing, Out Chasing Star, Follow the Boat, Rigging Doctor, Sailing Lady Africa, Abandon Comfort, and many others to find our answers and solutions, whilst we prepared our yacht in Cape Town, South Africa. SISU (Finnish concept) is a grim, gritty, white-knuckle form of courage in situations where success is against the odds. Taking action against the odds and displaying courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity, in other words, deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision even despite repeated failures.
