RYA Competent Crew: Gybing in More Detail

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.

🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [14/52] 🪢 Sharing cards is a popular way to share information to stay in touch with other cruisers 👋🏻 It’s easy and fast, and with this lifestyle people tend to not have their phones on them all the time, which makes cards an even greater advantage. We made our design ourselves, but it’s easy to find templates online (for instance in the Canva app) or reach out to someone who could design them for you if you have special ideas. Just make sure to check the format if you use a template, I believe classic business cards have different size standards in different countries which could be a problem once you send them for print. Ours are just in normal business card style paper, but in hindsight, some kind of waxed paper would be nice so it could withstand some water 💦😅 Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friends who needs to see this 🫶🏼
