Even though the sail is brand new, one of the shackles already got loose and had to be sewn back. We strengthened others as well by adding a few more stitches to each.
Mainsail cover DONE!
After dry-fitting and making final adjustments, the common sense fasteners were installed using special hole punches from SailRite. Finally, the cover took its permanent place and the project is DONE!
Canvas projects installed
My first sewing projects finally made it to the boat. Main sail cover was fitted (without the sail on) and final measurements for fasteners and mast choker were made. Winch covers and tiller cover were installed in their places and are considered DONE!
Main sail is up
Rigged the mainsheet, installed boom hardware for reefing lines and lazy jacks, installed battens, and put up the mainsail to take measurements for the sail cover. Can’t wait to test it out on the water!
Main sail track no-go
Picking out new sails
Got 6 different quotes after attending The Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show at the Marina Bay Yacht Harbor in Richmond. Looking to get a 2+2 battened main with 2 reefs, and a 120% furling genoa with luff pad. Mmm, choices: North Sails, Quantum, Doyle, Pineapple Sails, Head, Lee Sails.
Goodbye, boom
