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.

An outstanding and rare opportunity to acquire this one owner from new Fountaine Pajot MY 40. Extremely well equipped with VOLVO IPS, generator, air conditioning, and water maker. Her centre console RIB and outboard are easily deployed from the hydraulic platform. A skipper has been on board since new. Lying in the Barcelona area, viewings are unreservedly recommended. Antifouling, engine and generator service completed in September 2023. Spanish ITB passed in March 2023 (valid for two years). NOTABLE FEATURES • Port hull dedicated owner’s suite with large private bathroom • Starboard hull with one VIP double and one bunk cabin sharing a bathroom • VOLVO IPS 500 with joystick in lieu of standard smaller engines • Yachtcontroller system with remote for ease of handling in tight spaces • Generator and full air conditioning for Mediterranean cruising • Water maker for extended autonomy when on board • Hydraulic platform converting into a beach when lowered • Highfield 380 RIB with centre console and 25 HP Yamaha outboard • Large fixed hard top with central opening canvas panels • Generous flybridge with kitchenette, dining table, sunbathing area and upper helm position The asking price is ex VAT but subject to status she can be purchased ex tax or EU VAT paid if necessary. The vessel is in an SPV which can be purchased. Spanish matriculation taxes have been paid and she holds a valuable Spanish Charter license. A fabulous opportunity for private, mixed or commercial use. The Fountaine Pajot MY 40 is “a powercat that stands out for its speed, stability and excellent fuel economy, topped by impressive living spaces that include a best-in-class flybridge and remarkable owner’s suite.” Unlike many power cats the FP MY 40 was designed as a powered craft. The resultant performance, handling and accommodation are fabulous. For more information, please visit the full listing on our website at: https://www.aberyyachts.com/for-sale/fountaine-pajot-my-40
