RYA Competent Crew: Headsail Trim

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.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°196: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/iliad-53f-to-keep-long-crossings-comfortable ► Even though Iliad Catamarans only launched in 2019, the brand has already launched several powercat models from 50 to 70 feet, which have all seen great commercial success, notably in Australia... Building on this success, the yard has launched the Iliad 53. Available in an S-version, this new model is innovative in terms of design, as it does not have a flybridge, thus presents a sporty silhouette, or sedan appearance - hence the “S”. With its significantly lowered superstructure, the 53S can venture onto inland waterways, opening up new cruising possibilities. She’s also available in a flybridge version under the name of the Iliad 53F. Like her predecessors, the 53 is a beachable cruising boat, solidly built in a foam/vinylester sandwich. This catamaran is also very comfortable and particularly well equipped as standard - air conditioning, generator, complete electronics, bow thruster, electrical appliances, lithium batteries, a 5,000-W inverter, solar panels, video/sound system etc. Powered by two 440 HP engines, the Iliad 53S is expected to reach 24 knots and be capable of covering more than 1,750 miles in long-distance cruising mode. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Iliad Catamarans Length: 53’8” (16.35 m) Beam: 25’ (7.6 m) Draft: 4’1” (1.25 m) Displacement: 52,900 lbs (24 t) Recommended engine: 2 x 440 HP Volvo or Yanmar Maximum speed: 21 knots Maximum range: 1,750 miles at 8 knots Fuel: 925 US gal (3,500 l) Water: 210 US gal (800 l) CE Certification: A-12.
