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.

2020’s LEGO UCS A-Wing is a fantastic addition to any LEGO UCS collection. This set definitely involves more technic that other Star Wars sets, which I’m sure is one component of the relatively high price/piece. Let me know what you think of the set in the comments below.

When you're looking at buying a boat, use THE ULTIMATE SMELL Test - your nose. If it smells funky, it is funky. Trust your senses when assessing a potential sailboat to buy! This video highlights how your sense of smell can help detect issues like fuel leaks or problems with the blackwater system. Use your nose to identify potential problems in the dry bilge! Use your sense of smell to troubleshoot potential issues on your boat, such as fuel leaks or a faulty marine toilet. A gas smell or a fuel vapor could indicate a leak, while other smells might signal problems with the holding tank. Keeping a dry bilge is essential for a healthy boat! Real boats, real people, real fun! Sailboats for the Rest of Us! We showcase affordable, well-loved classics that won’t break the bank. Join us for full boat tours, expert insights, and sailing adventures—all with a touch of humor.
