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.

This place was cool, definitely coming here again next time we are in Colorado. Step inside Dragon Man’s insane military museum and check out these original WW2 gas masks! From eerie child-sized masks to battlefield gear, this collection is wild. Ever seen one up close? 😮 #DragonMan #WW2History #MilitaryMuseum #GasMask #family #famiyvlog #familyvacation #vacation
