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.

Suite du convoyage d'un Excess 11 entre Hyères et Les Sables d'Olonne, avec ses propriétaires. Après que Cédé ait embarqué à Cadix, on met le cap vers le Cap Sagrès et l'extrémité du Portugal avant la remontée dans l'atlantique. Un orage nous force à trouver refuge à Vilamoura. Une halte réconfortante et l'occasion de fêter dignement un anniversaire ! #catamaran #sailing #boatlife #sailinglife #voile #vilamoura #portugal #espagne

Piece by piece, the new EIGHTY 2 is being built at the back of our Bordeaux boatyard. Every line represents a promise, every detail whispers the call of the open sea. Soon, it will cut through the spray and meet the horizon... But before that, its lines unfold in the intimacy of its design. - Dans l’ombre du chantier bordelais, le nouveau EIGHTY 2 se façonne, pièce par pièce.
