Here comes the HIGHS and LOWS of boatlife! I mean the highs are great, let's go sailing, enjoy the sunshine, see some dolhpins you know... BUT today isn't about the highs! Today is about the frustrating moments, the moments when you want to set your boat on fire an be done with it! Looking back it's funny, how this tiny bit of wood rot turned into this huge are of deck that needed replacing, and months and months of work and trying to figure out how to go about it, Please don't forget, I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing here, so many times I have to do one job 2-3 times before its good enough (thats some of the very low lows.... very frustrating!) It is great to see the progress and I am sure for some part of it there are a million better ways to go about my boat repairs, but hey this is my afternoon hobby, i dont have all day every day I can't spend that much time on her and also this is happening on a budget. That's why it DIY :) and I learn, I prome I get better at this! IG: @yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy
A staysail is a type of sail on a sailboat that is set on a stay, or a support wire or rod that helps support the mast. A staysail can be found on the forward section of the boat, between the mast and the bow of the boat. Staysails are smaller than the main sail and can be triangular or jib-shaped. Depending on the design, the staysail can be attached to the stay with hanks or a furling system, which allows for easy deployment and stowing. A staysail can be used in various wind conditions and can be adjusted to provide more or less power depending on the wind speed and direction. Often, the staysail is used in combination with the main sail to optimize sail trim and help the boat sail more efficiently. Sailboats with staysails typically have a rigging plan that includes multiple stays or shrouds that provide support to the mast. This rigging is more complex than the simple fore-and-aft rigging found on smaller sailboats, but it allows for greater sail area and better performance in a wider range of wind conditions. #sailingexperience #sailinglife #sailingadventure
