I visit Turkey very regularly, and as far as yacht building is concerned I’ve just about seen it all; from spectacular, modern state of the art facilities to yachts being built in a field surrounded by cows 🐮🐮🐮 Before you fly over to check out a yacht that you are considering buying, it’s advisable to do a little research. My team and I recently visited the ARES Shipyard and were extremely impressed both by the facilities and by their heritage in building rugged military craft. This is a shipyard well worth visiting!

In this video I show how to tie the bowline knot. We use the bowline knot to form a loop at the end of a line that does not contract. This is needed for example to fix a line at a mooring post or to attach the halyard on the head of a sail.

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.

She stood at the edge of the boat… nervous, excited, unsure. With one deep breath, she leapt, and turned fear into freedom. 💙 Join us on this unforgettable moment aboard our boutique sailing boat, where every jump is more than just fun, it’s a memory in the making. From the thrill of the leap to the splash of the ocean, it’s all part of the adventure. This is not just a trip. It’s a story you’ll tell forever. 📹: Tinae Siringo Ringo #OceanAdventure #SailingTrip #JumpFromTheBoat #EcoTravel #TravelVlog #CoralConservation #AdventureVibes
