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.

🇬🇧 After passing Cape of Good Hope, Sam Goodchild encountered an issue with his starboard rudder at the axis that keeps the appendage down. The skipper took advantage of the calmer conditions today to intervene and replace the faulty part. 🇫🇷 Après le passage de Bonne-Espérance, Sam Goodchild a rencontré un problème avec son safran tribord au niveau de l'axe qui maintient l'appendice en bas.
