Yvette and Darcy, aboard the Sunreef 62 Supernova in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, dispute a doubled invoice from a sailmaker who repaired a mainsail torn during the passage from Portimão, Portugal to the Canary Islands.▶ 0:19 The sailmaker quoted eight hours at 60 euros per hour; the final bill listed 20 hours plus heavy materials charges, totaling 1,600 euros — double the 800-euro quote — with no mid-job communication and no card payment accepted.▶ 13:34 Three shops had quoted between 400 and 800 euros for the same repair.▶ 8:55 When the crew offered their passports as a deposit and proposed returning with a bank transfer, the sailmaker called the police.▶ 17:34 After several hours on site, they negotiated a lower price and retrieved the sail.▶ 18:33 A separate furling-drum repair — a custom-machined replacement part for a discontinued plastic unit — ran 650 euros against an initial quote of 450.▶ 30:51 Storm Amelia, the crew's third named European storm, pins them in the marina while they reinstall the mainsail using a deck-level rolling technique and fit an induction cooktop protector to keep pots from sliding underway.▶ 36:46 Their stated lesson: require written confirmation that any cost overrun must be communicated before work continues.▶ 44:52
