Adam and Luke, sailing a Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite, encounter sizing issues after ordering new sails from Direct Sails. Upon delivery, the genoa and staysail prove approximately three inches too long, preventing proper installation.7:03 The crew attributes the error to their own measurement process, specifically failing to account for the length of shackles and hardware at the furler attachment points.14:53 While attempting to resolve the fit, they encounter further setbacks, including a broken bicycle weld and a burst tire, which force them to postpone the sail installation and continue their coastal transit from Yamba toward Southport using their old inventory.13:46 Despite the initial frustration, the owners praise the quality of the new sails and note that Direct Sails covers the cost of local alterations for sizing discrepancies.15:54 The crew eventually proceeds with a 90-mile passage, navigating 20-knot southeasterly winds and a one-knot adverse current while monitoring coastal traffic.26:05
