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.

Quest’oggi compensiamo le 200 miglia dei giorni scorsi e percorriamo 6 dignitosissime miglia a vela, con genoa aperto e 8 nodi di avanzamento. Raggiungiamo una delle poche calette che offrono riparo dai venti da sud (nel sud della Sardegna) e facciamo ciò che di sabato pomeriggio amiamo fare: riposarci con lavoretti di bordo. Tra una siliconata a un’infiltrazione, una sistemata a tutti i gavoni esterni e una pittata all’asta della bandiera, il pomeriggio trascorre sereno. Poi un tuffo delle 18 sancisce la fine delle attività di bordo e su Julia scende la calma. Chi legge, chi fa video, chi guarda il mare fermo. Una barca in lontananza celebra la fine dell’estate con musica e giochi, ma a noi arrivano solo echi, proprio come il caldo estivo che lascia gradualmente spazio al fresco autunnale. Prima di cena la sorpresa. Giulia è passata a trovarci! Giulia è una mia amica e compagna di università, che durante gli anni di studi si trasferì a Torino. Come da copione, con sé porta mille leccornie locali per una cena a base di piatti sardi. L’entusiasmo accompagna la cena e piano piano le risate fragorose si fanno più pacate e diventano chiacchiere di aggiornamenti e progetti. È difficile raccontarsi tutto in una sera soltanto! Ma i fondamentali sono stati appresi: Come funziona il gabinetto Che non esistono corde in barca Quali altri fondamentali non possono mancare? Scrivetelo nei commenti qui sotto 😄 Ci leggiamo domani!
