Qué cubre este vídeo
The Shannon 37 sailboat *SV Landfall* features a semi-custom rig with twin headstays, allowing for a 160% genoa and a high-cut yankee used in conjunction with a self-tacking staysail.0:50 All sail controls, including reefing and furling, lead to the cockpit to facilitate short-handed sailing.1:42 For ocean passages, the crew typically runs the yankee at night, avoiding partial furling to prevent sail stretch.2:14 The boat utilizes a second-reef main configuration to maintain balance and reduce weather helm.3:18 To manage bow weight, the owners replaced 5/16-inch chain with 1/4-inch chain and remove the 85-pound CQR anchor during passages.4:20 The vessel includes dorade boxes for ventilation, a custom-built hard dodger made of two layers of 1/8-inch marine plywood, and a wind vane paired with a Watt & Sea hydrogenerator for power.7:00 Below deck, the galley layout allows for bracing in heavy seas, and the owners recently upgraded to a self-built lithium battery bank to improve energy storage efficiency.8:39
