Armand and Liya troubleshoot a recurring jib furling failure on their sailboat, Cosmo, while anchored at Isla Carmen in the Sea of Cortez. The crew identifies excessive jib halyard tension as the primary cause for the furler jamming and the repeated snapping of halyard lines.▶ 3:14 After smoothing sharp edges on the furling drum with a Dremel tool, they replace the damaged halyard with a spare line and adjust the tension to a lower setting to ensure smooth operation.▶ 3:26 Following the repair, the crew prepares for a 130-nautical-mile overnight passage to San Carlos for a scheduled haul-out.▶ 8:19 Preparations include meal prepping handheld foods like blueberry waffles and tuna pasta salad to minimize cooking during the estimated 26-to-30-hour transit.▶ 9:22 The crew spends their final days in Loreto National Park paddleboarding around the coves of Isla Carmen.▶ 6:27 Proper jib halyard tension is critical for the function of a Facknor furler, as excessive tension can cause mechanical binding and line failure.
