11/27-29 BCC @ Osaka Bay

BCC was held at Osaka Bay with 2 foreign students. BCC builds a skill for few days safe day-sailing.

Day 1 (Tajiri ~ Kada / SW 3-4kn) A 30ft sloop yacht “Eagle” sailed for 3.5 hours with a full main and a genoa assisted by engine power for whole leg due to very light wind.

Day 2 (Kada ~ Tsuna / NW 10-14kn) The Eagle sailed for 7 hours (2 hours with engine power) with a 1pt reef main and a regular jib mostly on close-hold. The learning points for the day are to pass through Yura Seto Strait from south to north going against peak strong current and pay attention to large ships on the busy sea route.

Day 3 (Tsuna ~ Tajiri / WNW 10-14kn) The Eagle sailed for 6 hours with a full main, a regular jib and a spinnaker mostly on running.

Basic sailing skills such as tacking, jiving, heading up, bearing away as well as essential seamanship such as navigation, MOB, heave-to and stern anchor mooring with anchor weight, have been repeatedly trained whole through the course.

The final exam was cleared by 2 students successfully, congratulation!! We are looking forward to sharing our time at next CON and BBC. (michi)

大阪校にて2名の外国人受講生を迎えて、田尻〜加太〜津名〜田尻のコースでBCCを開催しました。1日目は風が弱く、全レグ機帆走、2日目は北西の順風の中、通過する本船をワッチしつつ、南流最強時の由良瀬戸をクロスホールドで登る苦しい帆走、3日目はスピンネーカーのち、観音開きジブセールのランニング帆走を満喫できました。基本操船技術だけでなく、チャートワーク、落水者救助、ヒーブツー、槍付などの必須のシーマンシップも繰り返し練習しました。

修了テストも無事パスされました、おめでとうございます!! 今回の航海で学んだスキルをさらに充実させるべく次のコースCON、BBCでお会いしましょう。(みち)
