Acorn To Arabella · video

Hva denne videoen dekker

Installing a reefing system and a Cunningham downhaul on the wooden boat Arabella requires creating flat mounting surfaces on the mast and booms for cheek blocks and cleats.7:54 To ensure accurate placement of the reefing hardware, the crew hoists the mainsail to verify grommet alignment against the boom before finalizing the installation of the cheek blocks.12:27 The Cunningham system utilizes a block and tackle with a Dyneema loop and a lignum vitae dog bone to increase luff tension, which improves upwind performance by pulling the sail down against gravity.10:28 Additionally, the crew replaces the staysail’s lower turnbuckle with a top-mounted version to allow the sail to set lower on the mast and installs new, properly sized slides on the staysail to resolve previous hoisting difficulties.16:27 These modifications allow for more precise sail shape control and easier handling of the gaff-rigged sail plan.
