Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew Now we're on port tack, and we need to trim the headsail to make sure we're getting the best performance out of it. The lesson includes winching it in tight, ensuring the sheet lead car is set correctly towards the aft of the sheet lead track. This short clip was filmed during one of our RYA Competent Crew course lessons on the Solent. ** 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. It is the ideal starting point. Even if you’ve only had a brief taste of sailing, whether in the UK or abroad, the Competent Crew course offers structured learning and a strong foundation in the basics of sailing. We run our courses from Southampton, and they take place in and around the Solent. With First Class Sailing you’ll gain hands-on experience, experience life on board, and all the enjoyment it brings. By the end of the 5 day course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to be a capable and reliable crew member. The course begins and ends in Southampton, with stops at scenic destinations around the Solent, giving you the chance to experience different sailing conditions and enjoy stunning coastal views.

Finally! The Wild Thing 100 grapevine helped us capture her arriving through Sydney Heads this morning (Sunday), this time with her sails up. Sailing down from Queensland over the last 24 hours, her AIS showed her clocking some solid speeds. But sadly the breeze panned out as she approached Sydney Heads and the 100 footer turned from Wild Thing to Mild Thing! @cruisingyachtclubofaustral1612 @Rolex #wildthingyachting

Triple tubes, 900 horses, and a cabin lounge? This isn’t your average party barge. Manitou XT © Manitou Pontoon Boats Length: 27 to 30 ft Beam: 8.5 ft Max Capacity: 16–20 passengers Engine: Up to 900 hp (twin Rotax or Mercury) Top Speed: 60+ mph Starting Price: approx. US\$150,000 The Manitou XT is built for those who want the plush comfort of a lake cruiser with the firepower of a high-performance boat. You can rig it with twin outboards—or the sleek Rotax S outboard engines that stay hidden under the platform. The handling is shockingly agile, especially for a pontoon, thanks to Manitou’s patented V-Toon hull design. Inside, it’s more lounge than deck. The wraparound seating, touchscreen helm, and LED lighting give it a modern luxury vibe, while optional wake tower, fridge, and JL Audio system crank the fun up several notches. Whether you’re surfing wakes or sipping drinks, the XT makes a bold impression. #ManitouXT #LuxuryPontoon #LakeLifeStyle #HarbourMasters
