What this video covers

The owner of a 38-foot catamaran installs a Code Zero sail and a bowsprit kit to prepare for a Pacific Ocean crossing.▶ 0:02 The installation requires an FX2500 furler, an AT cable, and custom-spliced Dyneema lines.▶ 0:31 Because the boat’s total length increases to 46 feet with the bowsprit extended, the owner designs a removable system that allows the bowsprit to swing to the side when the sail is stowed, avoiding higher marina haulage fees.▶ 4:13 After mounting the bowsprit and adjusting the bottom rigging to achieve the correct angle, the owner measures the distance between shackles to cut the Dyneema to size.▶ 10:10 The sail is assembled on shore by inserting the AT cable into the luff sleeve and securing it with straps.▶ 13:08 Final testing confirms the furling line reaches the cockpit, allowing for remote operation.▶ 8:14 The owner secures all shackles with seizing wire to complete the installation before a planned test sail.▶ 17:11
