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.

Ragazzi non succedeva da… mesi? No, non che facessimo la spesa. Ma che ci alzassimo dal letto alle 10!!!! Io mi sono svegliato alle 7 e ho finito il libro Crypto di Dan Brown, Cami ha aperto un occhio e l’ha richiuso senza indugio fino alle 10.00. Che sensazione meravigliosa l’otium. Avevano capito tutto già i romani! Alle 10 ci alziamo e andiamo a riempire il frigo. Prendiamo il gommone e voliamo a 24 nodi verso la parte olandese. Ragazzi 24 nodi con un gommone da 3,5 metri è davvero VOLARE. Arriviamo a terra e un mostro si apre nei nostri stomaci. Una fame che solo un ottimo panino locale può saziare. E così, cediamo. Mettiamo le gambe sotto a un tavolo e ci godiamo la coccola di un pranzetto improvvisato. Seguono spesa e chilometri sotto il sole con acque e borse della spesa per tornare al gommone. Il pomeriggio è passato veloce e, citando Quasimodo, fu subito sera. Un bel tramonto culla Julia e i nostri pensieri. Da domani pare debba arrivare qualche scroscio… ci godremo anche quello! Da lunedì testa sul timone: pensavamo fosse a posto, invece ha ancora gioco in acqua. Vi aggiorneremo! Buona notte/risveglio Andrea

A massive blue-hulled yacht charges straight into a cluster of smaller boats during a high-pressure race start. From the drone’s wide shot, you can see the entire fleet scatter in panic — tight gaps, near collisions, spray exploding as the camera dips low over the waves. Wind hammers the mic, boats fight for position, and the chaos feels unbelievably REAL! This is racing at its wildest. ⚡🌊⛵ #SailingRace #StartLineChaos #YachtLife #RegattaAction #DroneFootage #BlueHullBeast #OceanRacing #BoatLife #CloseCall #SailingWorld #RacingFleet #SeaDrama #ExtremeSailing #YachtingLife #SailingStart
