What is theory of jibs after slot theory debunked?
2024年12月18日 · The same is true of the jib, but if we depower either sail too much, it takes the needed power out of it. Without enough power from the jib for example (esp. a masthead rig), the boat can't punch through choppy waves on the bow. But good sail trim isn't only about maximizing the amount of power produced by each sail.

Sail -vs- Motor Cruising? - SailNet Community
2007年7月19日 · I want to sail into the sunset and hopefully I will, but I have seen some pretty compelling arguments made for motors and motor sailers. Older trawlers can be had for far less $$ than sailboats. That savngs is enough to buy a lot of fuel and some of them use a lot less than I thought. Trawlers often have better passenger accomodations.
Ideas for Interior small sail boat - SailNet Community
2024年10月11日 · On storms, you don't deliberately sail into them. But sometimes you get caught. Thunderstorms with microbursts are actually the worst. You need to get sails down to absolute minimum in those cases. A rainy day is a marina day or a go ashore day. Your boat will safely sail in maybe 25kts of wind, but I tend to make it a lay day for anything over ...

junk rig - SailNet Community
2003年12月6日 · On a fully battened standing lug rig, the sail stays on one side of the mast and each batten is brailed to the mast. On one tack the sail and battens are pressed against the mast and the sail forms an ''S'' shaped section where the battens hit the mast, and on the other tack the sail sags away from the mast resulting in a baggy shape.
Lubricating Sail Slugs? - SailNet Community
2013年9月9日 · I believe there was a thread here on how to make a lube machine with a piece of plywood, wire, and some spare sail slugs. Basically it held the can with the spray tube pointing into the track. There was a line that you pulled down on to spray and the whole thing was hoisted by a halyard, but don't see it here. I did find a link to a similar set up.

34 Reefing Configuration - SailNet Community
2024年10月1日 · -This set up leaves an empty clutch on each side of the cabin top, these are used for the inter stay sail sheets. There is an empty cabin top winch on each side if the reefing outhauls are belayed with their clutch.-This might not be the most elegant set up, You will have to spend some time at the mast (granny bars are great there).
