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.

Alexander Marine are pleased to present the 2011 Maritimo 56 Skylounge 'Ohana' to the market as central agents. 'Ohana' is certainly not your average Maritimo! The 56 model offers a sporty profile when compared to the "squarer" M52 & M60 siblings - indeed 'Ohana' looks fast even when she is tied up to the dock! She was highly customized for extended cruising by her passionate first owner, and her current and second owner have further refined the vessel by conducting numerous meaningful additional upgrades. 'Ohana' has spent her life cruising the beautiful reefs and coastline of Queensland. With this intention in mind, she was built complete with a Seakeeper gyro for maximum comfort underway - this is especially relevant at long-range displacement cruising speeds. With an LOA of 60 feet this is a fantastic owner-driver vessel for husband and wife adventurers who like to have a bit of room. 'Ohana' has the space for cruising in comfort, the style to live luxuriously on the water and the power to get you to some of the most spectacular places only accessible by boat, safely and efficiently. The Maritimo brand speaks for itself with a reputation for producing high quality offshore capable luxury motor yachts influenced by the Australian lifestyle - the perfect boat for coastal hopping and offshore cruising. Overall 'Ohana' is a capable, proven and well-maintained cruising vessel from a highly regarded manufacturer - its time to jump onboard and leave the rat race behind in search of reefs and sunsets. The timing of her sale is perfect - follow the sun this winter and head north for the Queensland cruising season festivities.

Losing the hiking strap is a pity. With a bit more help from the remaining crew, such a mess could be controlled faster!
