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 isn't a drill! Fenders popping. Dock lines straining. Crew scrambling. The sea doesn't care if you're tied up. What would you do? @yachtieworld

► While Sunreef now offers almost all its models in an Eco variant, it has to be said that multiyachts over 80 feet opting for a hybrid formula are few and far between. And yet here we are with the WiderCat 92, a futuristic powercat previewed at the Cannes Yachting Festival. On board, we were impressed by the natural lighting provided by imposing glazed surfaces on the sides of the nacelle. Another highlight of this huge multiyacht is its cockpit, which can be converted into a beach club using fold-down bulwarks. In the “enginerooms”, two 500 kW motors are powered by LiFePO4 batteries, guaranteeing a range of 27 miles at 6 knots. And there’s 1,615 square feet (150 m²) of solar panels to ensure energy self-sufficiency at anchor. The builder has just announced a new model, the WiderCat 76. ► Builder: Wider Yachts Architect: Wider Engineering Design: Luca Dini Design, Centro Stile Wider Length: 92’ (28.04 m) Beam: 39’4” (12 m) Draft: 4’11” (1.5 m) Displacement: 90 t Motors: 2 x 420 or 500 kW Batteries: 360 kWh Maximum speed: 15 knots Accommodation: 8 guests and 4 crew ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
