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.

On May 21, 2023, I will turn 80. I plan to do a celebratory cruise in my sailboat “Carlita” around the whole of the Pamlico Sound. A distance of 500 nautical miles. It has been just over 10 years since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I never expected to make it to 80, let alone still have the desire or feel fit enough to attempt this cruise. I believe that Rock Steady Boxing has played a big part in that. I thought it would be good to try to give something back. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me and follow my progress at www.sailingforparkinsons.org to donate to this great cause please visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/sailing-for-parkinsons

@Sailing_with_Phoenix faced it mid-Pacific. 🌊 No phone. No way out. What saved him? A wrench and a lot of nerve. 🛠️ 🎧 Podlink: https://tinyurl.com/SaltyPodcast62 #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #Sailing #SailingWithPhoenix #PacificCrossing #SailingFails
