O que este vídeo aborda

A pair of sailors in Monganui, New Zealand, replace their 20,000-mile-old mainsail and genoa with a new set from Boatshed Sailmakers.1:31 The new mainsail features a tri-radial cut, full battens, and a mast car system with wheels to facilitate easier hoisting and lowering.8:00 The crew installs the sails by measuring the boat and fitting the battens on shore before hoisting the main to stretch the fabric under load.8:55 They note the mainsail is loose-footed and utilizes Dyneema soft shackles for attachment.10:08 Following the manufacturer's recommendation, they sail for the first two hours with a full main to ensure even stretching before applying reefs.15:21 In 20-knot winds, the new sail configuration provides improved balance and reduced flapping compared to their previous gear.19:10 The crew plans to donate their retired sails to a local yacht club.4:08
