Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The owner of the schooner Yabá travels from Arraial do Cabo, Brazil, to Barbados to collect a custom-designed set of four sails from the Precision Sails loft.0:13 The project involves a complete overhaul of the vessel’s gaff-rigged sailing system, requiring new measurements for the gaffs, booms, and goosenecks.8:07 The loft’s production process includes CNC cutting of Dacron panels, taping, seaming, and extensive hand-stitching for reinforcements, grommets, and headboards.9:30 To transport the sails back to Brazil as checked luggage, the crew folds them tightly and wraps them in cellophane to minimize volume.17:17 The largest sail, the mainsail, weighs approximately 32.8 kilograms, while the second-largest weighs roughly 25 kilograms.19:03 The owner manages the logistics of international transport by packing the sails into duffel bags and preparing to carry the battens as oversized luggage.17:28 The transition from the original rig to the new system requires precise integration of new sail shapes and rigging components.
