Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew This short clip of a Competent Crew course shows how to position the sheet lead car. The 'car' is something the genoa sail sheet passes through and we can adjust it's position along the deck to alter the angle that the sheet pulls down of the genoa. You will see how we need to set the sheet lead car for the headsail to the forward end of the track to allow the sail to adopt a fuller shape. We set it like this when the wind is coming from behind the boat. When we're sailing to windward (when the wind is forward of the beam of the yacht), we want the sail to have a flatter shape, so set the sheet lead car to the aft end of the track. ** 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.

Visibility is Safety. On the new Formula 360 CBR OB, the first thing our captains noticed at the helm isn't just the tech—it’s the glass. Formula’s massive, curved windshield isn't just a design statement; it’s an ergonomic win. By eliminating bulky frame obstructions and utilizing precision-curved glass, they’ve created 360-degree sightlines that are critical when you’re carving turns on that FAS3Tech® hull. It’s clear, unobstructed, and exactly what we look for in a premium crossover. 🛥️💨 Watch our full test ⬇️ #BoatTEST #FormulaBoats #360CBR #Boattestreview #bowrider #outboardboat #luxurydayboat #americanmade #formula360CBR
