Paul Shard and Sheryl Shard test the sail plan of their new custom aluminum Orion 49 with sailmaker Marcel.0:26 The crew evaluates the performance of a large Code Zero sail in light air, noting that the boat generates significant apparent wind at speeds between 6 and 9 knots.1:43 To manage the sail's clew, the crew installs a rubber "donut" on the soft shackle to prevent the hardware from jamming inside the outhaul car block.4:53 For downwind sailing, Marcel recommends using a barber hauler to pull the sheet lead forward and downward, improving the sail's shape when sailing at wind angles of 120 degrees or lower.6:11 The boat utilizes electric furlers, which allow for unlimited wraps around the extrusion compared to traditional drum-based systems.1:37 The crew also demonstrates a wing-on-wing configuration, poling out the Code Zero to maximize sail depth in light conditions.3:21 Proper halyard tension is maintained by adjusting until wrinkles disappear from the luff.5:36
