RYA Competent Crew: Sailing to Windward & Tacking

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.

#construction #aluminium #voilier OVNI 490 : retournement de la coque ! C'est une impressionnante manoeuvre qui s'est déroulée au chantier Alubat dans la ville de @LesSablesdOlonne-Tourisme pour le retournement de la coque de ce voilier 100% aluminium dédié au grand voyage. Construite à l'envers sur son gabarit, la coque a été "démoulée" puis contrôlée par ressuage pour tester l'étanchéité des soudures. C'est pourquoi un liquide rose apparaît à l'intérieur de la coque puisque qu'un liquide rose est appliquée à l'intérieur et une mousse blanche à l'extérieur de la coque. Si un point rose apparaît à l'extérieur, c'est qu'il y a une fuite et qu'il faut refaire la soudure. Ce cas est rare mais peut arriver donc tous nos bateaux sont testés. Et maintenant que la coque est à l'endroit, elle va pouvoir recevoir son pont avec son cockpit et sa timonerie ! A suivre dans l'atelier de chaudronnerie : l'assemblage.
