Stiff new Dyneema halyards on the Sunreef 62 Supernova prompted a multi-day soaking experiment in the British Virgin Islands anchorage off Peter Island.0:20 Yvette and Darcy hoisted the main halyard to the masthead and submerged it in roughly three gallons (about 11 litres) of white vinegar mixed with water, hoping to soften the 14mm line.1:01 After 24 hours the treatment produced little improvement; the crew concluded vinegar had failed and planned to try fabric softener next, noting that fabric softener can attract dirt to Dyneema but should not weaken the fibre itself.35:23 Separately, Darcy spent the better part of two days wiring a wireless AutoAnchor windlass remote — the same model used successfully on a previous boat — only to hit an undocumented fault.21:15 A call to AutoAnchor in New Zealand led to the fix: a single mis-spliced wire.28:59 Below decks, the crew replaced the saloon's narrow teak table with a wider hinged-leaf version that seats eight, settling the debate after a trial fit.14:53 The island exploration covered roughly seven kilometres of Peter Island's trails, passing a marina resort, sargassum-free beaches, goats, and views across to Salt Island and Tortola.5:20
