Qué cubre este vídeo
A 27-square-meter mainsail and a 55-square-meter genoa provide the primary sail plan for this vessel, which the owner describes as better suited for heavy weather than light air.18:47 To improve reefing, the owner installs custom "dog ear" reefing points using five-layer webbing salvaged from a lifeline.13:25 A 2-centimeter-thick foam under-mattress mesh successfully eliminates moisture buildup under the berths.21:49 For steering ergonomics, the owner adds a Turk’s head knot to the wheel as a tactile center reference.15:22 The owner reports that Armaflex insulation effectively prevents condensation on fiberglass surfaces, though metal areas around portholes remain prone to moisture.20:29 Navigation relies on Navionics, which the owner notes consumes significant power, necessitating a planned 12-volt charging installation near the helm.23:37 The owner intends to re-route the mainsheet tackle to the mast to improve cockpit accessibility and clear the sprayhood.22:36 Due to ongoing refit tasks and seasonal weather concerns in the Bay of Biscay, the planned departure is postponed until March.28:11
