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.

No doubt a sight to see rolling through the English countryside! Marking a significant build milestone, we see the Gunboat 80 hull structures, built entirely in prepreg carbon fiber by Fibre Mechanics in Lymington, England, in transit to the Gunboat factory in La Grande-Motte, France. www.gunboat.com #gunboat #catamarans #boatbuilding

E a chegada não foi como eu esperava com aquele pôr do sol em Santo Antonio de Lisboa, pelo contrário um temporal nos recepcionou, bom que só pegamos uma leve chuva, pois caíram muitos raios próximos e como foi a noite nossa atracação finalizo aqui nossa viagem, abraço e bons ventos.

The Minch is an extremely unpredictable sea area off the Western coast of Scotland, known for its rapidly changing weather and choppy waters. This fascinating stretch of ocean is not only a test of seamanship but also a breathtaking experience for those who dare to navigate its depths. However, the lure of seeing the stunning Outer Hebrides, with their pristine beaches and rugged landscapes, was strong enough to motivate us to take the risk. So, we set sail across this fickle piece of water, filled with both excitement and a hint of apprehension, hoping for the best and ready to embrace whatever challenges this majestic sea might throw our way. With the wind in our sails and the horizon calling, we embarked on this unforgettable journey, eager to explore the beauty that awaited us on the other side.
