Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew As we return to port, we need to put the sails away. In this clip during a Competent Crew course in Southampton, you will see us furling the headsail whilst hauling in on the furling line and easing the sheet. A crew member is seen sweating the furling line, whilst another crew member in the cockpit takes in the slack. With the headsail furled, we then drop the main. The boat is turned head to wind as we did when we set the main, to allow the sail to drop freely. ** 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.

Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and the largest one on the Dalmatian coast, so it stands to reason that you will have a blast when visiting. This historic city dates back some 1,700 years, with Diocletian's Palace sitting at the centre of its history and Old Town. This impressive waterfront city is the perfect starting point for all your adventures along the coast, however it is also well worth some dedicated time to explore all the city has to offer. Here are our must-do things in Split: 1. Visit Diocletian's Palace - built in the 4th Century by Roman Emperor, Diocletian, the palace is now UNESCO Protected and is one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture. 2. Climb the bell tower at the Cathedral of St. Dominus and take in the incredible views of the Old Town, Marjan Hill and surrounding islands 3. Sip coffee and people watch on the Riva Promenade; a waterfront city location featuring palm trees and polished marble floors 4. Wine and dine at Republic Square 5.
