Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this video shot on the Solent, we look at gybing in a little more detail. First thing we do before gybing is to centre the main. In the clip recorded during a Competent Crew course sailing out of Southampton, you see us on port tack; and we'll gybe onto starboard tack. As the stern goes through the wind, the wind gets behind the sails, and the headsail will start to come over, and the main will come across. We don't need to do anything with the main sheet at this point, but we do need to ease the headsail sheet on starboard, and take up the sheet on port. And then at this point we will ease the main sheet to let the main out. You can watch the first gybing tutorial video here: ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6r2qLC51s0 ** 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.

Taršće Bay: A Secluded Paradise on Hvar's Doorstep The Pakleni Islands, a cluster of jewels scattered off the coast of Hvar, offer a kaleidoscope of experiences for every kind of traveler. For those seeking a tranquil escape, Taršće Bay stands out as a hidden gem, promising serenity and a connection with nature. Escape the Crowds Unlike the popular beaches of the Paklenis, Taršće Bay offers a serene escape. Here, you'll find no bustling beach bars or rows of sunbathers. Instead, imagine yourself on a secluded stretch of coastline, the sound of waves lapping against the shore the only soundtrack to your relaxation. Embrace Untouched Beauty Taršće Bay boasts a natural beauty that's both rugged and captivating. The bay itself is a crescent of smooth pebbles, edged by crystal-clear waters that beckon for a refreshing swim or a snorkeling adventure. Look out across the bay and you'll be greeted by the lush greenery of the Pakleni Islands, a sight that will leave you feeling truly immersed in nature. Naturism Welcomed For those seeking complete freedom and connection with nature, Taršće Bay is a haven for naturists. The secluded nature of the bay allows you to embrace naturism comfortably, without the worry of crowds or judgment. A Hiker's Paradise Taršće Bay is more than just a beach. For the adventurous spirit, the bay serves as a gateway to explore the island's hidden gems. Hiking trails lead from the bay, offering stunning panoramic views of the Pakleni archipelago and the glittering Adriatic Sea. Pack for a Day of Self-Sufficiency Since Taršće Bay boasts no amenities, coming prepared is key. Pack a picnic basket with your favorite food and drinks, plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat. An umbrella or shade structure might also be a good idea for those seeking refuge from the midday sun. Reaching Your Secluded Paradise Taršće Bay is best accessed by boat. If you have your own vessel, anchoring in the bay is a fantastic option. Alternatively, water taxis departing from Hvar or other points in the Pakleni Islands can whisk you away to this secluded paradise. Taršće Bay: Unveiling a Different Side of Hvar While Hvar is known for its glamorous energy, Taršće Bay offers a contrasting experience – a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and discover a hidden gem on the island's doorstep. So, pack your essentials for a day of self-sufficiency, and set sail for Taršće Bay, a slice of tranquility waiting to be explored.
