点评:My wife and I attended our first competent crew weekend at the end of August. We were five crew (3 total beginners and a couple that had completed competent crew before) and our skipper Sam. The boat was 35ft so relatively small for 6 people but seemed clean and well maintained. The training by our skipper was first class, with good explanation/demonstration and with loads of practice (we all took turns from steering the boat, to arranging the sail tightness during sailing, to preparing meals during lunch/dinner, to cleaning up afterwards). It was a tiring two days as we were out in the sea every day for 6-7 hours training on various manoeuvres (and with atrocious weather in the first day) but we enjoyed it and learned a lot. We would highly recommend if you are interested in learning sailing a yacht.
翻译:八月底,我和妻子参加了我们第一次“合格船员”周末训练营。我们一共有五名船员(其中三人是完全的新手,另外一对夫妇之前曾参加过类似培训),还有我们的船长萨姆。船只有35英尺长,对于六个人来说算是比较小的船,但看起来很干净且保养得不错。船长的培训水平一流:讲解清晰、示范到位,还安排了大量的实践环节(我们轮流体验了掌舵、调节帆的松紧度等各种操作)。从午餐/晚餐时的备餐,到事后的清理工作。这两天相当辛苦,我们每天都要在海上花费6到7个小时来训练各种操作技巧(第一天的天气还极其恶劣),但我们乐在其中,也学到了很多。如果你有兴趣学习驾驶游艇,我们强烈推荐这里。
