After consulting with sailmaker Jan Wichmann, he secures a sponsored storm genoa and a discounted furling unit.3:42 The installation process involves mounting a new forestay fitting and a block box at the masthead, followed by assembling the furling foil sections on-site at Marina Denholm Nord in Stralsund.9:16 During the rigging process, the crew loses a halyard inside the mast but successfully retrieves it by fishing a pilot line through the masthead.12:08 The new storm genoa features a Keder track extension to optimize sail shape and prevent fluttering.14:57 Following the installation, Micha conducts a test sail around Hiddensee with his son, utilizing the new storm genoa alongside the main sail and a larger genoa in 13 knots of wind.19:42 The setup allows for efficient performance in varied conditions, confirming the value of professional sail measurement and local expertise for custom rigging.
