Old and torn

Changing the genoa

May 31st 2019

Our new sail!

During our last attempt to sail we came to the conclusion that we needed to switch our genoa. The one we use now is quite old and torn, but the main problem with it is that it’s too big, at least for us. We changed it with a smaller genoa which looked definitely smaller and easier to handle. And the smaller size solved one of our problems with the safety net for Captain Fluffy, because the jib sheet didn’t need to cross underneath the life lines anymore. 

We also checked our main sail, and adjusted the reef lines. Let’s try this new configuration.
