Paul and Sheryl Shard commission the sail inventory for their custom aluminum Orion 49, focusing on an in-mast furling mainsail and a specialized storm staysail system.0:08 The mainsail utilizes Voyager fabric with Dyneema fibers for durability and profile stability.2:45 To manage heavy weather, the crew installs a removable inner forestay system featuring a storm staysail rigged on an anti-torsion cable with a CLD CX-furler.1:06 This setup allows the sail to be hoisted, furled, and stowed as a single unit, eliminating the need for manual hanking on the foredeck in high winds.12:16 The two-part halyard system provides a two-to-one purchase to reduce loads on mast fittings.1:52 The inventory also includes a 111-square-meter Code Zero for light-air performance.8:37 The installation confirms that the sail design and sheet attachment points align with the boat's deck layout.8:04 Using an anti-torsion cable for a storm sail simplifies heavy-weather deployment and allows for safer, faster sail changes compared to traditional hank-on systems.11:19
