Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the Millennial Falcon replaces their headsail and staysail with new, custom-built Dacron sails from Precision Sails while anchored in St. Martin.1:23 The new staysail features a heavy-duty construction, quick-release clips, and adjustable sheeting blocks to accommodate the boat’s fixed deck-mounted turning blocks.6:19 After installation, the crew conducts sea trials in the channel between St. Martin and Anguilla, navigating a head swell and current.20:13 During these trials, the boat maintains a speed of five to six knots while heeling less than with the previous sail inventory.19:53 The crew notes that the remote measurement and design process with the sailmaker allowed for collaborative adjustments to sheeting angles and sail shape without requiring on-site professional visits.20:52 The project aims to provide durable, long-lasting canvas suited for long-range cruising rather than racing performance.21:45 The crew plans to clean the hull to further improve performance and will continue to monitor the sails' shape and wear over time.20:26
