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.

As every sailor knows, fresh water is worth its weight in gold, which is why someone had the bright idea of using an oncoming squall to take a quick shower. Pity poor old Dobby who was at the helm at the time. By the time he had covered himself in soap the rain had stopped! Keep an eye out for the skipper's skinny white ass.
