Qué cubre este vídeo

The owners of a catamaran discover their genoa halyard is severed after the sail becomes jammed during a furling attempt.7:58 Investigation reveals the swivel—the component intended to allow the sail to rotate independently of the halyard—failed to turn, causing the halyard to wrap around the forestay and chafe against the rigging.12:06 After successfully lowering the sail by rigging a messenger line to the masthead, the crew inspects the UV-protection strip on the genoa.0:56 While the Sunbrella fabric remains largely intact, the stitching on the hem has degraded from sun exposure.17:05

The crew sources PVC material from a sailmaker in Saint-Louis, Marie-Galante, to replace the damaged hem rather than replacing the entire UV strip.17:56 They perform the repair by hand, using double-sided adhesive tape to position the new material before sewing.20:06 The repair process involves working in two 1.5-meter sections to manage the sail's size on deck.18:47 The crew plans to address the swivel's mechanical stiffness and perform more extensive sail maintenance once they acquire a sewing machine.21:08
