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.

The Mumm 36 - Go To Red made some magical memories for the Bottom Up Boats crew. The boat really came alive whenever we could get the A-Sail up in a bit of pressure. The boat was touching 10 knots of boats speed in gust up to 16 knots on the beautiful sunny day on Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland. Flat water and breeze really aloud the Mumm 36 to get her bow out of the water and jump up on the plane. The it was perfect condition for the yacht with the crew working together to ensure the sails were trimmed to perfection to keep the boat flat while reaching as the tighten up to make the bottom mark. The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoyed this Mumm 36 Memory, where you can become a skipper for a minute by coming onboard Go to Red. Go to Red was a great boat which creation many memories which the crew and hopefully you look back on fondly for many years to come.

A couple of weeks ago, we swapped the yard for the waves and took our two apprentices out for some high-speed powerboat training aboard our Humber Destroyer RIB. 🛥️💨 Not only did they smash the start of their training, there was a bonus; as we cruised out towards Clacton, we stumbled right into the start of the legendary Clacton Airshow — and who should roar into view but the RAF Red Arrows, painting the sky with their signature smoke trails! ✈️💥 Training with a side of adrenaline and aviation magic!

Segelboot statt Wohnung. Wir leben seit 5 Jahren auf unserem Segelboot und wollen nie wieder weg vom Wasser. Gemeinsam sind wir auf dem Weg nach Hawaii, aber es gibt viele Umwege und wir wollen keinen davon verpassen... ⛵️
