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.

I've been a huge fan of what Sunreef has been doing over the last few years with their launch of the "New Beginnings Line" of catamarans. The first models launched were their 60 and 80 sail. They are now offering a wide range of semi-custom luxury sail and power catamarans starting at 50ft and up to as large as you can dream. This year at the Miami Boat Show they are making their North American debut with the Sunreef 50 and Sunreef 80. If you'd like to schedule a private tour please shoot me an email or leave me a message. Wiley Sharp 561 613 8985 Wiley@CatamaranCentral.com
