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.

Want to meet a Peacock Flounder? 👉🏽 Join us for a dive. ℹ️ Who’s that 1 Clever Fish Who’ll Never See You Below? While juveniles begin life with eyes on both sides of their body, the Peacock Flounder’s right eye migrates towards the left as they mature, leaving both eyes on one side looking to the sky. Pretty amazing for a fish that camouflages seamlessly with his perch, which he can not see below him, yet if blind or if his eye is damaged he will struggle to camouflage with his surround.
