What this video covers

The Yacht Rigger catamaran adjustable bowsprit uses Dyneema for its stays instead of stainless steel wire, with soft shackles attaching the adjustable water stay.0:09 Lines run back to clutches on deck, letting the crew clip a furler at the base of the sprit and pull it out to the tip via a tack line — no reaching to the end of the sprit required.0:21 Reversing the process pulls the furler back inboard.0:14 The same clutch system lets the sprit swing to either side for a deeper downwind angle or fold in to reduce dock footprint.0:42 The system is fully retrofittable: Yacht Rigger supplies a complete hardware and line kit based on two measurements — the water stay length from sprit tip to hull pad eye with the sprit down, and the sprit length itself.1:13 For boats with no existing bowsprit, Yacht Rigger can include the sprit in the kit.1:30
