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. It is the ideal starting point. Even if you’ve only had a brief taste of sailing, whether in the UK or abroad, the Competent Crew course offers structured learning and a strong foundation in the basics of sailing. We run our courses from Southampton, and they take place in and around the Solent. With First Class Sailing you’ll gain hands-on experience, experience life on board, and all the enjoyment it brings.

Catamaranes, brisa mediterránea y ese olor a mar que hace que quieras cambiar el escritorio por una cubierta. Este año Lagoon lo dio todo con tres estrellas absolutas: el Lagoon 38, compacto y listo para la aventura; el Lagoon 43, equilibrio perfecto entre confort y estilo; y el Lagoon 46 Iconic, un clásico reinventado que roba miradas y suspiros por igual. Diseño, innovación y muchas ganas de navegar — así vivimos el Salón Náutico de Barcelona 2025. 🇬🇧 Lagoon at the @salonnauticobcn Sea breeze, sunshine, and that salty air that makes you want to swap your office chair for a deck chair. This year, Lagoon brought its A-game with three showstoppers: the Lagoon 38, compact and ready for adventure; the Lagoon 43, the perfect balance between comfort and style; and the Lagoon 46 Iconic, a reinvented classic that turns heads (and hearts). Design, innovation, and a serious love for the sea — that’s how we lived the Barcelona Boat Show 2025. #LagoonCatamarans #BarcelonaBoatShow #Lagoon38 #Lagoon43 #Lagoon46Iconic #lagooncatamarans #catamaransailing #catamaransbcn #yachtlife⚓️ #sail
