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.

Did you know? Eels are masters of environmental adaptation. They are nimble #swimmers with bodies like #snakes and are adept at slipping through cracks and openings. Eels occasionally have the ability to just slide through rocks or #reefs above the surface when attempting to catch some #crabs that hang around on top of the shore's reefs. Due to their extreme laziness, adult eels stay in their reef habitat right up to reproduction. The female Moray's egg will be fertilised by the male Moray on the same reef he stays on, and when the egg hatches into a larva, the larvae are spread and carried to other areas by ocean currents. They are currently merely apathetic drifters. Before finding their own reef to settle on and develop into adults, larvae will spend months, sometimes even two years, wandering around. #Moray #eellarvae are susceptible to environmental hazards and predators. Many larvae do not survive this stage, which is one reason why moray eels produce a large number of eggs to increase the chances of some surviving. This phenomenon called Larval transport is essential for the dispersal and colonization of new areas by #morayeels. Eels will not die of hunger because eels are opportunistic eaters, their diets can include fish, insects, #crustaceans, and even smaller eels. They are just successful hunters in a variety of habitats thanks to their versatility. Do you know any other fun facts about #Eels?

Hinckley invented an entirely new class of boat with the introduction of the original Picnic Boat nearly 25 years ago. Picnic Boats are open-air express yachts designed for relaxing and entertaining. The spacious, open-deck designs are ideal for lounging with loved ones or serving a small party of friends. Superior visibility while seated or standing, gives captains a more commanding view and a sense of connection to the environment. Today, we offer the most refined iterations yet, all updated with state of the art systems and technology. Hull construction combines inner and outer layers of carbon laid bow to stern for incredible strength, durability and weight savings. A single infusion of epoxy forms a chemical bond for a lightweight hull of incredible strength and durability. Weight savings in the hull structure allow for the signature teak woodworking accents which are Hinckley hallmarks. The innovations in hull materials allow us to provide the luxury on deck and below deck which our owners and their families love.
