🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [26/52] 🪢 Are you team upwind or team downwind? Linnea was our first boat with a furling headsail and the natural way for us was to head upwind. It was always a hard job, and Marcus was the only one with enough strength to be able to furl it in even though we only had a small self-tacking jib. But then we got this advice and it was a game changer! The idea seems pretty obvious now, but we had just never considered it! Now handling the furler is an easy job, that we both can manage. Hope this will be of use for your boatlife too 🫶🏼 Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this to get inspired to create their own adventure 🫶🏼
We spend the night in Puerto de Cabrera, the natural port of the main island. Puerto de Cabrera 39°08'54.5"N 2°55'43.9"E The port entrance is hidden until you are in a lovely large sheltered bay, with mooring buoys with a 15th Century castle on the port side, that rises from a clump of stones. Entry is possible in all winds, but would be challenging in strong north winds. See more: https://youtu.be/1T1Jo3MHHMc #mallorca #sailing #sailors
