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.

Siamo a Roseau, Dominica. Visitiamo questo paesino caratteristico e subito ci sentiamo avvolti dalla realtà locale a 360 gradi. Strade asfaltate, palazzi fatiscenti, anziani locali che assomigliano moltissimo a Bob Marley. Una volta ho letto che l’indice di salute di un luogo si misura dalla presenza di cani randagi. Qui è pieno, e guardandoci intorno è facile a trovare corrispondenze con Roseau. Ogni volta che visitiamo una cittadina dei Caraibi ci chiediamo di cosa vivano, se di turismo o di cos’altro. Immaginiamo un livello di povertà elevato (a suggerircelo la spazzatura per la strada, animali randagi, automobili degli anni 90, gli articoli nei negozi,…) e pensiamo a quelle persone nate qui, costrette a tollerare fiotte di turisti con i cappelli di paglia e la pelle bianca come il latte, come compromesso per racimolare qualche dollaro ogni giorno. Li guardo da lontano con curiosità e un po’ di timore. Vorrei dirgli che io sono diversa, che vorrei sentirmi parte di quella comunità per capirla fino in fondo, che vorrei sapere tutto sulla loro vita, tipo fa freddo di notte a luglio? Come funzionano le cose lí? Ci si sposa e si figlia o si figlia e ci si sposa? C’è una società patriarcale? Perché tutti tengono i capelli lunghi? Si beve il caffè in moka? Perché camminano tutti scalzi? Perché perché perché? Ma continuo a camminare, guardando con la coda dell’occhio angoli privati e assolutamente normali, proprio quelli che mi interessano di più. Questo viaggio serve proprio a questo d’altronde. Continuare a camminare. Osservare e camminare. Sperando un giorno o l’altro, di capirci qualcosa. Un po’ come la vita, no? Camilla
