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.

📝In questo periodo la mia priorità è la scrittura. Ho un progetto più grande di me che voglio mettere su carta. So che sarà una sfida enorme e che ci vorrà tempo. Ma io sono determinata ad impegnarmi ogni giorno per migliorare come scrittrice ed avvicinarmi alla mia meta. ⛵️Nel frattempo tra il timone della barca e l’impugnatura della penna, mi godo al massimo il viaggio, che secondo me è la parte che conta davvero. 🤗Scrivimi nei commenti qual è la tua priorità in questo periodo. E seguimi su Instagram e YouTube per nuove avventure di mare e di scrittura. 👩🏽‍🦱🇮🇹Io sono Giulia e sto scrivendo un libro mentre vivo in barca a vela insieme a Mads(👱🏻‍♂️🇩🇰). Seguimi per avventure di mare e scrittura.

While we already liked the Elite 7 with DownScan thanks to its large seven-inch screen and robust construction (see Sonar Smack-Down), Lowrance has improved the unit by adding limited CHIRP abilities. This seems to be Lowrance's answer to Raymarine's Dragonfly, which is another form of "CHIRP light." (Read Raymarine Dragonfly: A Whole New Breed of Fishfinder, for more info, and note that Raymarine has announced a new, larger, seven-inch version is in the works and will be on the market soon with pricing expected to be in the neighborhood of $1,000.).
