Learning to sail: RYA Competent Crew Course

Having learnt to sail dinghies back in the UK, I decided to try my hand at larger vessels. With that in mind I booked an RYA Competent Crew course with Hercules Sailing School in Gibraltar. The course was run over 5 days, with three us and the instructor staying on the yacht throughout. As I was there to participate I wasn't able to film most of our manoeuvres when out at sea, but still managed to capture a bit of footage to show family and friends what the course is all about.

Unfortunately I forgot my 'deadcat' so apologies in advance for any wind noise.

Why sailing? I'm a big overland traveller, and to me cruising yachts are the ultimate go-anywhere 'overland travel' (as in the surface of the Earth) vehicle. Shame I can't fit my motorcycle on one.
