What this video covers

Riggers in Barcelona, Spain, replace the genoa stay foil and install a new Profurl 6.5 Nex endless furler on the 50-foot catamaran Zatara. The installation includes a new 2-to-1 halyard, which allows for higher tension on the boat's new Ullman Code Zero sail. The process requires loosening the standing rigging, pulling the mast forward, and lowering the genoa stay to the dock to replace the foil and swivel.0:27 The crew opted to replace the foil because the previous unit was 20 years old and the rigging had been updated five years prior.16:00 The project corrects a previous incomplete installation performed by a different rigging company in Greece.0:23 Separately, the crew maintains a fitness routine while docked, focusing on a high-protein, low-sugar diet and daily 45-minute workouts including kickboxing and stationary cycling.2:57
