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.

A yacht that completely rewrites what a 295-foot superyacht can look and feel like. Built in 2020 by @ulsteingroup, Olivia O is one of the very few private yachts to feature the signature X-Bow design—a forward-sloping bow traditionally reserved for commercial ships navigating the harshest seas. This isn't just for looks-it's a purposeful innovation that reduces pitching, enhances fuel efficiency, and ensures greater stability in rough conditions. Her profile is unmistakable: angular, industrial, and fiercely futuristic. With a 52.5-foot (16-meter) beam, she boasts a massive volume of 4,989 GT, making space for amenities like a cinema, gym, wellness center, and an entire owner's deck. And unlike most yachts of this size, she's powered by twin Caterpillar diesel-electric engines—a rare feature that allows for smoother, quieter cruising and better energy distribution. With exterior styling by @espen.oeino and interiors by @droulersarchitecture, Olivia O is a true fusion of Scandinavian minimalism and Italian sophistication. A yacht for someone who wants to stand apart-not just in size, but in vision. @yachtworld

4 days of hard yakka- but look at the amazing result. The final paint work and non skid will be done after we finish dealing with the topsides and bottom.
