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.

► X5 PLUS - Ready to take you... wherever you want to go ► Derived directly from the X5, the Plus retains an unconventional silhouette that may dissuade some from going beyond appearances... but that would be a shame: those frightened off would be missing out on a beautiful cruising machine with intelligent specifications. This new model benefits from the experience gained during 6 years of the X5: the bows have been modified, the displacement is lighter by two tons, the sail plan has increased in area and the equipment is even more complete. The X5 Plus is perfectly suited to the cruising families that have chosen it. Rigorous design by a team of experienced sailors (the seas off South Africa are an excellent learning environment), meticulous construction, exemplary deck plan, abundant and perfectly functional equipment, remarkable overall quality of execution, tempered glass skylights: these are the strong points of this catamaran that deserves to be recognized. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Xquisite Yachts Naval architect: Rudolf Jonker Length: 50’8” (15.44 m) Beam: 26’3” (8 m) Draft: 4’5” (1.35 m) Displacement: 36,375 lbs (16.5 t) Mainsail: 1,130 sq ft (105 m²) Jib: 420 sq ft (39 m²) Genoa: 700 sq ft (65 m²) Gennaker: 1,400 sq ft (130 m²) Engines: 2 x 80 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

A sailing couple with a great YouTube channel sails off on an Atlantic Crossing to Portugal on their 42 foot Gib’sea ketch cruising sailboat and is lost at sea. A rescue begins and the boat is never found until they wash ashore on Sable Island in a life raft. This electric powered sailboat may not have had an EPIRB and is never found.
