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.

We struggled a lot to find a good storage space for our fenders. We considered various options, such as storing them around the mast, at the aft swim platform, and even deflating them for air 💨 After many trials and errors, we finally found a solution that works very well for us. It may not be the most aesthetically pleasing solution, but it solves our storage problem without taking up regular storage space 🏠 vs. ⛵️ #justoceans #reeloftheday #sail #sailboat #sailing #jordomsejling #circumnavigation #båd #sejl #sejlbåd #sejler #sailboat #boathack #lifehacks

What about this incredible video shot by Mikael Kulig during his trip on Pro Dive over the weekend! The Great Barrier Reef is the only place in the world where we are able to predict the migrations of Minke Whales. Having the opportunity to see one of these gentle yet inquisitive giants up close is a tick on the bucket list for many divers! #ProdiveCairns #Australia #ThisIsQueensland #ExploreTNQ #CitizensGBR #GreatBarrierReef
