O que este vídeo aborda

A damaged mainsail on a 38-ft sloop, which had been patched repeatedly with sail tape and contact cement during a passage from Fiji to New Zealand, required replacement after the leech line tore during a 40-knot squall.1:52 To obtain precise measurements for a new sail, the owner climbed the mast while anchored in a high-current river, using a tape measure to record dimensions and reef point locations.8:37 Rolly Tasker Sails provided a replacement mainsail, which featured a loose-footed design and flat slides to prevent the jamming issues experienced with the boat's original circular slides.12:36 The installation included running new reef lines and testing the fit before a planned 1,100-mile passage to Vanuatu.14:59 The owner also discovered that a previously acquired, high-quality working jib found in a North Carolina marine salvage store was also manufactured by Rolly Tasker.15:36 Measuring a sail from the masthead allows for accurate dimensions while simultaneously enabling a full rig inspection.
