Really enjoyed the video, music not quite my style but I have volume control. I own a Junk Rigged Hartley Spindrift 24 but there is a rot problem I no longer want to deal with. So I'm downsizing to a TS16 soon. Looks like she handled the conditions really well.
WE have a furler on our jib and a separate topping lift.Makes life so much easier plus all lines lead back to the cockpit on our cruising TS16,And hanks? We have a bolt rope on the main
Yes, I was thinking that. I have also now rigged a topping lift on mine as the boom gets in the way when I have to mess around at the jetty. @@alexpaterson7846
just re watched this video.Only two things i'd change.The main is getting rid of that hanked main.Its a real pain(unless you have no choice) and fit a seperate topping lift.
Hi John, drill a hole in the bottom of the mast track to take a clip, feed all the slugs into the track then put the clip in so they won't drop out. Tie the main around the boom and have it all set before you go. Then just untie from the boom and pull the halyard - should just go straight up. Bolt ropes on a main are for dinghies lol.
I thought my missus was slack at running the mainsail up till I saw this effort...all the gloves n gear and no idea ..... the boom vang looks slack too
😜 Hey Darryl, yeah that's me and I will admit that it was a slow hoist BUT having to slot each slide into mast track didn't help with the efficiency in this situation. Was a rather windy day such that all keeler yacht racing had been cancelled for the day but we still had to make it back across the harbor to the launching ramp (we got plenty of odd looks as we departed the marina). What do you sail? 🙂
A great day out. Thanks for taking us along.
Awesome - thanks! My new fav treadmill sailing video :) I ran all the way across the harbour with you!
Pearler of a sail

are you the guy from the Cruising Helmsman aritcle?
@@TheKetamineSquid I am that guy. :)
@@Abby1952 i loved that article, it was a great read, among many others. shame that the Cruising Helmsman is no more...
@Raban BF I had another article on how to build a birdsmouth mast, but the magazine folded just before it was going to be published.
@@Abby1952 that would have been a good read
Hope your still sailing

Do you have my videos of your TS16
Nice last name
Would a reef for the main be a useful addition? At more than 6m the mast is quite a twig for the 16ft boat?
Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah it would be (especially for Wellington conditions).

met these guys - cool dudes. At least they're out there. Show some positive support :)
Fit a stopper at the bottom of your mast track, Easy.
