After a recent professional overhaul of the heat exchanger and cooling system, the engine on a cruising sailboat triggered an over-temperature alarm and entered derate mode immediately upon leaving the marina.▶ 2:30 Suspecting a blocked intake or a failed impeller, the crew returned to the dock to await a mechanic.▶ 5:25 During a subsequent test sail, the new mainsail jammed during deployment due to twisted vertical battens.▶ 8:07 The owner climbed the mast to manually clear the jam while the crew managed the sail tension from the cockpit.▶ 8:48 After testing the battens individually, the crew confirmed the sail functioned correctly.▶ 11:09 The boat later performed a successful, engine-free sail across the bay in 9 knots of wind, achieving 6.4 knots of boat speed.▶ 12:22 The owner noted that the new mainsail’s positive roach provides significant performance gains in light air, though minor adjustments to the jib car dynamic strap remain necessary.▶ 15:39
