Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this clip from our Solent RYA Competent Crew Course, you see us stopping for lunch. We bring the boat to a stop by heaving to. This is where we tack the boat but don't touch the sheet, so the headsail lies 'aback'. Once we have the wind on the main driving us forward, and the wind on the headsail pushing us back, and with the helm turned towards the wind, the boat will come to a stop. The boat will level up and be in balance. ** 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. It is the ideal starting point. Even if you’ve only had a brief taste of sailing, whether in the UK or abroad, the Competent Crew course offers structured learning and a strong foundation in the basics of sailing. We run our courses from Southampton, and they take place in and around the Solent. With First Class Sailing you’ll gain hands-on experience, experience life on board, and all the enjoyment it brings. By the end of the 5 day course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to be a capable and reliable crew member. The course begins and ends in Southampton, with stops at scenic destinations around the Solent, giving you the chance to experience different sailing conditions and enjoy stunning coastal views.

We also offer shore-based sailing courses in London and Southampton. Attaching the Boat to the Dock ➜ https://youtu.be/SgqVE0j132M In this short clip you see us run lines. Notice how rope becomes lines running from cleats on board to cleats on the shore. When we do this, these lines become mooring warps: one to attached the bow to the shore, one for the stern, and two to keep the boat in one place to stop it moving. Sailing Courses for Beginners ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/sailing-courses-for-beginners Starting out in sailing is exciting, but deciding where to begin can feel like a challenge. Should you get out on the water with a practical course or start with navigation theory in the classroom?

Check and adjust the water tank levels. Adjustment is needed when water is taken from different sources since their electric conductivity is not the same

I've refit a Catalina 30, and now have a J-133 that we live aboard, cruise along the coast of California, and race, and this book is the bible for all things mechanical and electrical on a boat. I keep it on the boat at all times (in spite of how hefty it is!). Here's a link to it on Amazon. You NEED this book if you have a boat: https://amzn.to/4nDAyiX

Offset yacht costs with bona fide tax advantages and charter income! Most of our catamaran owners of larger vessels over 50 ft place these boats into one of several crewed charter programs. The basic idea is that the boat is operated as a business, which enables the owner to reduce the cost of ownership through the use of available tax advantages and income from charters. All our owners in these crewed yacht charter programs have successfully created small businesses and achieved their ultimate goals. It is the most cost-effective way to own a big luxury catamaran! The current trend in catamaran ownership is to go bigger! We have in recent years consulted with several clients to buy large flagship catamarans like Lagoon 77, Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67, and Bali 5.4, into crewed charter programs all over the world. These luxury catamarans are not only a great vacation and adventure travel holiday for you and your family but also serves as your own private all-inclusive tropical resort, anywhere in the world. But these catamarans are expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. All of our large catamaran buyers look for a way to offset the cost of ownership. There are several ways to achieve your goal of owning a luxury charter yacht in an exotic location: Buy a big sailing catamaran outright and sail it yourself Hire a crew to sail you around to simply enjoy the lifestyle without ever chartering the boat Or what most savvy large yacht owners do, find a way for the crewed yacht to pay its own way through charter income to offset costs.
