O que este vídeo aborda
The 38-ft cutter-rigged sailboat Nomad completes its first sea trial under sail in 13 years, following a multi-year refit.▶ 0:00 Owner Ryan and professional rigger Stephen from The Yacht Rigger conduct the test in light winds, focusing on hoisting the slab-reefed mainsail and unfurling the genoa.▶ 3:17 The crew manages the transition from motoring to sailing by adjusting the topping lift, outhaul, and sheet tension to properly shape the mainsail.▶ 10:30 During the outing, the owner practices tacking the full-keel vessel, which is steered via a tiller and lacks a bow thruster.▶ 18:18 To prepare the cabin for heeling, the owner secures loose items with Lee cloths, sponges, and lines, resulting in minimal movement of gear during the sail.▶ 21:51 The session confirms the rigging integrity and provides the owner with initial experience handling the boat’s sail plan. Future projects for the vessel include installing an Arco Zeus alternator system to manage power consumption for the boat's large battery bank and air conditioning.▶ 20:42
