Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this clip from our Solent RYA Competent Crew Course, you see us stopping for lunch. We bring the boat to a stop by heaving to. This is where we tack the boat but don't touch the sheet, so the headsail lies 'aback'. Once we have the wind on the main driving us forward, and the wind on the headsail pushing us back, and with the helm turned towards the wind, the boat will come to a stop. The boat will level up and be in balance. ** 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.

We also offer shore-based sailing courses in London and Southampton. Attaching the Boat to the Dock ➜ https://youtu.be/SgqVE0j132M In this short clip you see us run lines. Notice how rope becomes lines running from cleats on board to cleats on the shore. When we do this, these lines become mooring warps: one to attached the bow to the shore, one for the stern, and two to keep the boat in one place to stop it moving. Sailing Courses for Beginners ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/sailing-courses-for-beginners Starting out in sailing is exciting, but deciding where to begin can feel like a challenge. Should you get out on the water with a practical course or start with navigation theory in the classroom? Our beginner sailing courses - Competent Crew and Day Skipper Shore-based - are designed to help you take your first steps, whatever your goals or the time of year. ** Credits ** Voice: Duncan Wells Filming: Nick Watts

We’re back aboard Arabella in Newfoundland and shifting straight into winter adventure prep — new skis, a DIY sled bag for hauling gear, and a first recon toward the Lewis Hills. Full episode is live now on the channel. Subscribe for the next backcountry trip and more boat life + winter projects. #Shorts #BoatLife #SailingNewfoundland #WinterAdventure #Backcountry #LiveaboardLife #ArabellaSailboat -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!

That moment when a 40-ton whale swims right past you… 🐋 We’ve spent the last ten years sailing the ocean, always hoping for a moment like this. And recently… it happened! We felt the size of specs freediving beside these humpback whales. Riles, the boys and I were completely awe struck. Another moment at sea we will never forget. Drop me a comment below with the last time you got humbled by nature!? 💙
