Wire stripping trick ( especially in tight spots ) just use a bic lighter for a second on end of wire. Insulation will melt / retract just enough to crimp on connector.. no knife, no possible wire deterioration, fast and easy.. my only go-to now in all situations, tight spots or not. Try it you will never go back.
Hi drake....you may remember me from the Caribbean...Blitz and Meteor....I see Kevin has painted his boat....say hi for me...oh...and have a great Xmas...👍
haha, at 20:19 I was thinking the same thing as Mo, but for different reasons. I was looking at the roller furled genoa and thinking how much better it would look if it were a purpose-designed hank-on jib with a longer luff, smaller foot, and high clew.
I think we'll make a video about the completion of our Hydrovane wind vane installation.

A great passage indeed. It was rough though, and I can understand how tiring it was. And a 9 hour watch? Nicely done Monique.
you seem to have changed the video slightly I think it works beautifully great video
Broad reach is my favorite point of sail...
Drake,
For future reference, those connectors are colour-coded. Red is for smaller wires like the one you were dealing with.
Drake, when is the next boat maintenance? Bottom scrub perhaps?
