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.

Reason 96 for converting an old sailboat into a solar electric liveaboard. 🌞 Why rush? On a solar electric boat, going slow is the secret superpower. Cruise at chill speeds → solar panels keep up in real time, batteries stay happy, range goes forever. No wake, no noise, just you, the water, and nature’s soundtrack. Less speed = more peace, more wildlife spotting, more magic moments. Slow it down to live it up. ⛵✨ #SolarBoat #GoSlow #ElectricBoating #SolarPowerLife #ChillCruising

Giorno 138 - una pausa rigenerante Sono giorni intensi quelli che viviamo ultimamente. Molto lavoro, molte miglia, molte cose da fare, poco tempo per fare tutto. Imparare nuove skill sul lavoro Imparare meccanica, elettronica, idraulica a bordo Imparare a coltivare passioni e salute fisica e psicologica. A volte ci sembra di inseguire tutto ciò, annaspando, accompagnati da quella sgradevole sensazione di essere un passo indietro, sempre in ritardo. Parlando con amici e con qualcuno di voi nei DM abbiamo visto come sia un sentimento piuttosto condiviso. Chiaramente ognuno lo declina a modo suo, ma il filo rosso che unisce la sensazione di inadeguatezza, ritardo e affanno è piuttosto condivisa. Che fare quindi? Purtroppo su questa pagina troverete molte domande e poche risposte :) Con noi funziona imparare a lasciare andare, a mollare il freno a mano, guardarci indietro e individuare un faro nella nebbia, qualcosa che nonostante tutto sta lì, solido, stabile. Sono giorni intensi quelli che viviamo ultimamente. Siamo eternamente grati per la fortuna, le scelte che abbiamo fatto, il supporto delle nostre famiglie, la nostra tenacia. Fare questo viaggio sta riallineando dei tasselli interiori e il nostro desiderio è di condividerlo con voi, lasciar andare (per restare in tema) i cambiamenti che stanno avvenendo e orientarci sempre a un nuovo giorno. Un nuovo viaggio. Nuove miglia. Altri venti. Che soffi sempre nella direzione in cui vuoi andare. 🌬️ C.

No hay nada mejor en un velero que tener todas las maniobras del palo reenviadas a la bañera. Sobre todo cuando el tiempo es malo es bastante peligroso pulular por la cubierta del barco. En este vídeo vais a ver cómo se pueden organizar muchas maniobras de forma compacta en una configuración de piano. Drizas, escotas, rizos, amantillo, pajarín, carro de escota de mayor. En fin, un montón.
