Ben and Alie, sailing the 41-ft boat Kiana, install a custom "Code D" light-wind sail and a Selden bowsprit in La Cruz, Mexico, to prepare for a Pacific Ocean crossing.0:25 The Code D, designed by Precision Sails, is a nylon sail intended to fill the performance gap between a spinnaker and a genoa, capable of flying from 45 to 180 degrees apparent wind.1:32 Installation requires mounting a bowsprit forward of the windlass, which effectively extends the boat's length by two feet.14:25 The project involves replacing the mast halyard block, splicing Dyneema lines, and configuring a bottom-up rolling furler with an anti-torsion cable.6:24 After measuring the bowsprit length to clear the pulpit and securing the D-ring to the bow roller, the crew successfully hoists the sail for a test fit in the marina.12:51 The project concludes just before the couple clears out of Mexico for their passage to French Polynesia.17:39
