Holly sea-trials a new Rolly Tasker mainsail during a 1,200-nautical-mile solo passage from New Zealand to Vanuatu.0:04 Departing in 40 to 45-knot winds and 4-meter seas, she rigs a triple-reefed main and working jib, pre-setting a whisker pole to manage downwind conditions safely while solo.0:11 The new sail features a flatter, tighter cut than her previous North sail, allowing for better performance in heavy air.0:56 Leather patches on the leech line prevent chafing at the reef points, a feature absent on her previous sail.2:19 The new slides move smoothly in the mast track, significantly reducing the time and effort required to reef compared to the previous setup.3:02 This ease of operation encourages more frequent, timely reefing, improving overall boat control and confidence in heavy weather.3:21 The sail remains durable through two days of consistent, high-wind conditions that would have likely damaged the older, baggier sail.4:36
