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.
