Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this clip from our RYA Competent Crew course, you can see how we unfurl the headsail. The headsail is the forward most sail, also called a genoa. In harbour, when not being used it is rolled up like a giant sausage around the ‘forestay’ which is a wire that helps to hold the mast up. Unfurling the headsail is where you unroll and open it up so you can use it to sail with. As part of the Competent Crew Course you will learn how to unfurl and furl the sail. ** 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.

We caught up with Team Loustic SuperSonic waiting out the weather at the John Wayne Marina. They told us all about their hull and deck coming apart. The deck is attached with pop rivets and many of them failed along one side for about two meters of the seam—when they realized the boat was acting sluggish, they looked inside to see at certain tacks, waves of water coming in filling the boat with about 100 gallos of water. They have since repaired it quite nicely and they're drying off all their gear, ready to go on. The boat otherwise handled really well.

YYachts have created something quite extraordinary…. the Y Breeze 75. This 23m long daysailer was created in conjunction with Cossutti Yacht Design and while she looks stunning from the outset, there are some innovative details above and below decks.
