RYA Competent Crew: Gybing Out of the Hove to Position

Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this short clip you see us out on the Solent during a RYA Competent Crew Course (sailing from Southampton). We sail out of the hove to position by centring the helm and allowing the wind, which was on our port side, to come around the stern of the boat, onto our starboard side. This is known as gybing: taking the stern of the boat through the wind. ** 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.

A brief walk-through of our newest project, the Hood 35 LM. Built in conjunction with C.W. Hood Yachts, this 35' dual jet cold-molded motor yacht is the 2nd in the Hood/Lyman-Morse series. A plywood mockup of our builds is always constructed in advance of the actual boat's construction. This allows the customer, builder, and designer to see a full scale spatial model of the eventual yacht. It allows us to make changes at this point, instead of further down the construction process when things get more costly and time consuming.

Seacocks are bronze valves in a boat and are used as a safety measure for closing off holes below the water line and keeping water out of the boat for either maintenance or emergencies. We have 4 total on Seawind, and one of them has been giving us trouble for the past couple of years. I cleaned and greased this particular seacock, and ever since, it’s seeped a bit of water into the boat. The only way I could stop the leak was to tighten the valve so much that I couldn’t turn the handle! Live right now for our patrons AD FREE is EP. 55 of Sailing Seawind!
