    Excellent! The Bumbler's great, he's further ahead on the same course as me . . . . but I do worry a little. We'll both need to keep a very close eye on the weather forecasts, and pray the engine starts!

    Lovely bit of collaboration. Was it the lack of wind or camera angle, the foot looked pretty loose on both reefs to me. Could the little reefing cars be moved aft a bit to tighten the foot on the reefs? Usually want a flat sail when reefed as it will be quite windy.

    • @sailingmist
      @sailingmist  Рік тому +2
