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.

We bought an "old-ish" sailing yacht to renovate and sail through the French Canals to the MED. When we get there, we'll turn left. Travel is our passion along with sailing, cycling, motorbikes, family, dancing, food, music and wine. We would be delighted to welcome you aboard as a subscriber to our channel and don't be shy about hitting the like button or commenting - feedback is good. We hope you enjoy these travels, trials, tribulations and joys. Keep with us though, we're learning - especially Sheenagh, who was not a sailor - she was a Midwife.

This quote by the French writer André Gide suggests that in order to achieve new things and explore new opportunities, one must be willing to let go of the familiar and the comfortable. The metaphor of discovering new oceans implies that there are vast and uncharted territories waiting to be explored, but to reach them, one must be willing to venture out into the unknown and leave behind the safety of the shore. This quote encourages people to be courageous and take risks in order to achieve something great. It emphasizes that one must be willing to let go of old habits or beliefs, and embrace the unknown in order to find new possibilities and opportunities. By choosing to explore the unknown, one may encounter challenges and obstacles, but the rewards of discovering new opportunities and expanding one's horizon are often worth it. So…if sailing is unknown to you, allow me to help you find your sea legs! Visit SailingBritican.com for details on our sailing lifestyle charters. #shorts #sailingexperience #sailingadventure
