One of the latest innovations to be offered on Lagoon catamarans (46' and 51') is the mainsail furling boom. This has been developed by @LagoonCatamarans1984 with Incidence Sails and Groupe Wichard. ?? We tested it yesterday. It's an impressive piece of kit. ?? One of the main advantages of the Lagoon system is its simplicity: the furling spindle is not enclosed in a housing, so it is easy to monitor and control hoisting, reefing and furling manoeuvres. And it's lighter than a standard set-up. ?? To use it, the main sheet must be eased, the topping lift employed, you must be heading into the wind (or at least a 30-degree TWA), and you must keep a fair tension on the luff while adjusting the sail. ?? It easier to hoist, lower and reef your mainsail. And it's all operated from the winches. ?? The system has been thoroughly tested over 2 years and has proven to be very reliable. On the 46 and 51 which have the flybridge, this system makes a lot of sense with their higher booms. ?? This is an exclusive system, installed by Lagoon and covered by their warranty. ?? ?? ?? #sailing #innovation #design #sails #testsail
