Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of a catamaran repairs a damaged genoa by hand-stitching the UV cover and reinforcing the webbing near the tack.1:32 After three days of manual labor, they complete the majority of the repairs, using a double-thread technique to ensure durability.15:02 The project addresses a damaged section of the sail's Sunbrella fabric and secures the webbing that holds the tack shackle.0:52

During the repair process, the crew identifies the cause of a damaged genoa halyard.3:00 They determine that the halyard likely snagged on a metal fitting at the masthead when the sail was unfurled with insufficient tension.3:48 To replace the damaged halyard, they use a messenger line and a rolling hitch, specifically a "nœud de bosse," to transfer the load and re-thread the line through the masthead sheave.20:01 The Dyneema core of the halyard remained intact, but the protective cover required attention.21:57 The crew successfully re-hoists the genoa and tests the furling system to confirm the repairs hold under tension.22:31
