Crew Secrets Revealed | Essential Crew Skills for Beginners | Sailing Madness Ep45

#HowToSail #SailingForBeginners #learntosail In this learn to sail episode I provide guidance for individuals new to sailing who want to crew on other people's boats. I'll share insights on what makes a good crew member, emphasizing the importance of initiative, communication, and efficiency while sailing. The video features footage of myself and Robin, working together to prepare the boat for departure from Tobermory in Scotland. Throughout the video, I highlight Robin's actions, such as retrieving fenders and lines, coiling them efficiently, and preparing the boat for sailing with minimal need for communication between us. Being a proactive and competent crew member is essential to being invited back for future sailing opportunities.
