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.

The Privilege Brand needs no introduction as being one of the most desirable catamarans on the planet. We are lucky enough to have a flock of them on our listings including this 2005 awesomely equipped, magnificent example of a Privilege 585 Easy Cruise "Owners Version". Rarely available in this guise based in mainland Spain, close to Murcia & Alicante Airports and well worth a look at, if you are in the market for a luxury catamaran in this class. Impeccably maintained and privately owned, by a loving owner, never chartered........ this is one beautiful catamaran. VAT PAID!
