Hello! We witness a British sailor, solo sailing through Preveza anchorage and grounding himself while putting away his sails. Not what your taught on RYA! Please comment to let us know what you think good or bad. Also please don't forget to like and subscribe!
Dacron sails indeed last much longer than laminated ones. Unfortunately, they lose their proper profile much quicker than laminated ones which makes them far less efficient. The older a dacron sail is, the more it just makes you heel over instead of move forward. A laminated sail will keep its profile until it falls apart. A 16 year old dacron sail may look good when lying on deck. However, the profile is definitely gone. Surely, cacron sails are a good choice for cruising when speed is not much of a factor. Just know what you compare them to.
nothing wrong with sailing throigh an anchorage, and the grounding looked intentional, motoring through an anchorage and leaving a wake along with grounding on rocks is bad
Loving it :) !! keep it up and coming
