Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this short lesson clip, you see us sailing to windward and tacking our way upwind. You cannot sail a boat directly into the wind. The closest you can sail to the wind is roughly 45 degrees (depending on the boat) either side of the wind. If you want to go somewhere that is upwind you have to tack your way to your destination. Tacking is where you put the bow of the boat through the wind and the sails change sides. You end up sailing a zig zag course to get to where you want to go. ** 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.

Förråden är fyllda, barnen är avspringda och båten redo, nu seglar vi söderut! ⛵️🌊☀️ Vi tog barnen in till stranden för att ha det som bas när jag och Niklas springer ärenden. Vi hade hört av oss till barnbåtarna i samma ankarvik så deras barn kom också till stranden. Jag började med att ta sparkcykeln till apoteket och den lokala frukt och grönsaksmarknaden för att köpa på oss av färskvaror. Med händerna fulla av matkassar plus en extra vandringsryggsäck full med mat bytte jag av Niklas på stranden. Han fortsatte till charkuterier och fiskstånd och köpte protein 🥩 för att fylla upp frysen. Han fick även bära lite flaskor med cava som vi kan dricka nu när vi snart får två omgångar besök på båten🍾 Sen kom han ner till stranden och åkte tillbaka med allt till båten. Då kom regnet så barnen började frysa så vi åkte alla och tog en varm skön dusch i marinan. (Vi ligger i en betald ankarvik så vi har tillgång till marinans faciliteter) Sen tog jag en sista tur till affären för att handla. Nu blir det middag här på båten, färsk tonfisk 👌😋 Imorgon lämnar vi Las Palmas och seglar söderut. Skönt att vi fyllt på med mat, skeppsapotek och båtprylar här där det mesta finns. Hoppas ni vill hänga med söderut på Gran Canaria. Tryck gärna på ❤️ om ni gillar dessa uppdateringar och vill fortsätta följa med på vårt segeläventyr! ⛵️ Kram Malin
