Just watched your twin headail video, does having two sails loading the front forestay fixings mean that these should be upgraded if the intention is to use this set up over an extended passage? Enjoyed the video, very clear setup
No, you don't even need a keel mate, you only need a mast and a boat, use it on any boat with or without keel. Only remember to take enough sail away on time when it start blowing harder, as without keel you will capsize forward upside down if you leave it with to much wind, pushing your nose into the waves.
This is indeed a long existing configuration. Very popular in France in the 1980ies. The name for this double genoa on the furler was then 'booster'. I sailed with my centerbord boat with no keel but internal lead ballast twice transatlantic with this double genoa. Once singel handed. Very easy to stear with a windvane selfsteering. Very convenient and easy to manage and easier to sail fast at night without reducing sail area at night fall and without anxiety concerning unexpected squalls.
Double sail down ( the sail building). As a arrowhead with a skinny handle at a 5 o'clock position, let's pray and do sajida That's how you get out of it Consider that as a charity

Very nice setup, thank you for sharing
Gorgeous yacht! 😃
Thanks for a very illustrative video, seems a very nice setup indeed. What kind of block is it? And is the leather patch custom made?
I wonder if Kirsten of the GGR had these sails ? Or is it "this sail".

Is this a special track system or do our roller furlings have two tracks
Lack of chafe on the gear over weeks of trade wind sailing is also a big feature.
That's a ljungstrom sail, right?
Hi
Does it require keel?my not doesn't have a keel
If I just use this sail my boat does need keel?
