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.

How A Conestoga Trailer Works, Loading A Conestoga and Our Conestoga Trailer. About The Video: In This Video We Show YOU how Our Conestoga Trailer works, How we load it, and how we love our 53 Conestoga. Conestoga Trailers are Inspired by the old covered wagons of the 1690s, providing the best of two worlds. They have a moveable tarp system that maximizes space for all kinds of loads. The demand for specialized trailers is huge. About Us: We are a Travel Vlogging Couple Exploring the Less Traveled Places in the USA From the Seat of our Big Rig! Welcome to Me and The Kiwi: This is the story of how two midlifers met on a three-hour flight from Nashville to Denver, became smitten with each other, fell ridiculously in love, and two months later, threw caution to the wind and went all in. I arrived in Phoenix, Arizona with nothing but a ‘bag of rocks‘--(aka crystals), joined my Sweet Kiwi Man–(aka New Zealander), and began truck driving cross country. On this channel, we explore Top 10 lists on everything about Life on the Open Road and wanderlust in the USA; weird places, awesome roadside attractions, great hikes, unexpected gems, dive bars, what it's like living in 156" space, and more! Thank you for watching and if you dig the journey, subscribe and come along for the ride! Let's Get Social: Blog: www.meandthekiwi.com Instagram: @writerjacks Facebook: @WriterJacks

Hemos aprendido un truco para poder CONSERVAR los HUEVOS 🥚 en el barco, y que no se pongan malos en poco tiempo. Sabes con qué? Sí!!! Con vaselina!!! Esta hace que se cierren los poros, y duren más tiempo. Podéis meterlos en algún tambucho (siempre con cuidado para no hacer las tortillas antes de tiempo huevo 🍳😂), o en la nevera, como nosotros!!! ❄️ Lo conocías? O sabes otro que nos pueda ayudar en este viaje? Te leemos!📚👓 . . . #sailing_lasonambula #sailing #sail #veleros #trip #disfrutalavida #catamaran #vivelavida #sailingaroundtheworld #colombia🇨🇴 #barcos #monohull #catamaranes #velero #trabajo #work #navegando #navegaravela #navegar #antifouling #pintarbarco #hempel #primer #antifoulingpaint

http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/09/sonar-smack-down-traditional-fishfinder-vs-down-looking-scanner-imager-vs-chirp/ For more electronics tests, visit www.boats.com. To all fishermen in search of a new fishfinder: if your head is swimming with gigamajigs, LCD screams, and watt-evers, you're not alone. A frequency frenzy has struck the world of sonar, and while we used to be able to compare a few specs, functions, and prices before drawing a reasonable conclusion as to which unit to buy, today the process is enough to make your head really kilohertz. Now there are entirely different forms of fishfinder technologies on the market and even for the most educated buyer, choosing between them is no easy call. We decided to help ease the digital delirium by matching up comparable technologies including traditional, scanning/imaging, and CHIRP, head to head. To keep the playing field level we capped the price range of the units we included at $800. This represents a sweet-spot for fishfinder manufacturers since most boat owners can afford a unit at this price or below, regardless of whether they cast for largemouth from a bass boat, troll for stripers in the bay, or jig for cod off the coastline. Sure, there's a lot more—and more advanced—technology available at higher price-points, but some costs as much as a small car and the vast majority of us will be living with something a little more affordable. So we put our focus here, in this moderate price range. We also tried to spread the field among the major manufacturers, which wasn't difficult since different companies have taken different technological routes to help get you to the fish.
