Velero Regina · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

Javi configures his boat, Regina, as a cutter by adding a roller-furling staysail to the existing inner forestay.0:37 To support the additional mast load, he installed running backstays made of Dyneema.0:50 These lines attach to the mast at the same height as the staysail stay and anchor to new chainplates installed on the stern.2:42 When sailing upwind or on a close reach, he tensions the windward running backstay to prevent mast flex.1:46 He notes that the maneuver remains simple for cruising, as he only needs to adjust the backstay when changing tacks.1:45 The boat also features a double-sheeted boom, which prevents accidental gybes and ensures the boom clears the backstays.3:47 Javi replaced a large 150% genoa with a smaller, more manageable Yankee, sacrificing some downwind speed for easier sail handling.4:18 He uses the staysail and Yankee simultaneously for upwind work.4:06
