What a wonderful way to benefit from Skip’s vast experience.

Fantastic video and powerful knowledge from a in depth experienced captain that has sailed for decades in fierce storms and horrendous force winds. Not meant for coastal cruising. Well, webbing hand pulls on hank on mains, seam covers chafe and UV protection as well as higher clue head sails I could see for chafe reduction and beneficial for vision for enjoyment and knowing what ahead of you through ease of seeing.

Thanks for the great details. One day we will be in those latitudes.

So true what he says at the end, to go forward to attempt to rig anything is dangerous, even a simple rolled up genoa is better than rigging

I've learned something today.

[@josephlai9759]

Valuable lessons none other than from deep experiences. Thank you. A minor typo error, I think... Cover strips 'protect seams', not 'project seams'.

Great stuff skip

Sorry if I'm the nr one thousand asking this. What's that big piece of meat hanged at stern port side of your boat? Cheers and many thanks for all your public return of experience at sea.
This is Vincenzo from Italy.
Fair winds and follow seas.

[@SOLDOZER]

What the hell does this have to do with choosing a sail?

[@willemhaifetz-chen1588]

Code zero, genua, ... no

[@rudbeckia885]

Keep listening

It is about sail design and having a sail made that best fits your sailing needs.
