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.

Una giornata eterogenea sotto molti aspetti, per esempio l’andatura. Prima traverso, poi bolina larga, poi traverso di nuovo, poi lasco. Prima di partire per questa traversata atlantica di ritorno in Europa ne avevamo sentite di tutti i colori: siete pazzi, caricatela su un cargo, velisti masochisti, eccetera. Noi non abbiamo dato peso a quelle parole perché al nostro fianco c’è sempre stata una persona che l’Atlantico verso l’Europa l’ha fatto per tanti anni e ce ne ha raccontate di tutti i colori. Oggi siamo felici di non aver dato peso a quelle parole e di essere qui, perché i giorni che stiamo vivendo sono tra i più straordinari mai vissuti finora. Più dell’andata. Siamo passati da condizioni di vento e mare ideali a piatte totali a galleggiare in una pozza. Ma tenere una media di 7 nodi di giorno e notte, riducendo vela e mantenendo tutte le prudenze del caso, è qualcosa che non avevamo ancora vissuto. Se durerà così per 18 giorni nessuno può saperlo naturalmente, noi ci auguriamo il meglio e teniamo costantemente d’occhio il meteo. Testa sulle spalle sempre. Oggi pomeriggio il vento è sceso. Lo sapevamo, stiamo scaricando le previsioni meteo più volte al giorno, con Starlink e con il satellitare, quindi non ci ha sorpresi. Invece è stato sorprendente tuffarsi in un oceano blu che se fossero stati due occhi ci saremmo tutti perduti tra le sue increspature. Un mondo sotto di noi abitato da migliaia di creature e un mondo al di sopra, ugualmente appartenente alla natura. Noi galleggiamo e nuotiamo, meravigliati e in pace. Se l’amore fosse un colore, sono certa che sarebbe il blu. 💙
