Sailing Acrobatics.




Martin and his high wire act.  Now we can introduce our new and improved reefing system on the main sail.  Jean-Louis will be proud.  With his experience and consultation we have produced a safe and strong reefing system like his.  Thanks a million and here it is. 


When we purchased the boat it had a 6mm line that used a hook system to reef the main sail.  Not effective at all and not very safe.  The previous Captain was never able to reef the main.  We now have a pulley system with 12mm line and it is very safe and strong. 

For all the non sailors this is probably not very exciting, but for us it is a wonderful sight.

That's all for today since I must get to work so we can do our test sail and get ready for a night on the hook in a perfect cala.  Life is good!
Adios,
Theresa
