Ron answers a common question we get from sailors. Is it possible to get the required measurements for us to make really good sails when your mast isn't even up? Yes, it is entirely possible. We made a blog and video getting excellent measurements for a headsail and mainsail while your mast is down. Check out the instructional videos and blogs below. https://www.precisionsailloft.com/blog/measuring-for-new-sails-mainsail-with-the-mast-down/ https://www.precisionsailloft.com/blog/measuring-for-new-sails-headsail-with-the-mast-down/ If you have any questions give us a call at 1-888-958-5638 or email: info@precisionsailloft.com

Designed to redefine bump & jump performance, the 3S carries on its decades long legacy in this exciting field of windsurfing. 🙌 . Rest assured, the 3S still delivers controllability, early planing and speed across a wide range of conditions, but with an added punch of power and acceleration. . 🏄‍♂️ @takumasugi 🎥 Jamie Hancock . #tabouboards #tabouwindsurfing #notjustbetterdifferent #windsurfing #bumpandjump

► Full test in Multihulls World N°199: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/excess-11-return-of-the-overlapping-genoa ► The Excess brand is all about the pleasure of sailing on two hulls, with off-center helm stations and a younger spirit in the choice of materials and colors... but now the time has come to make a difference on the water in terms of performance. The best-selling Excess 11, which has already seen over 200 examples sold since its launch in 2020, is recognized as a comfortable, seakindly catamaran - as witnessed by its many ocean crossings. But in light airs, it remains relatively heavy and lightly canvased compared to the benchmark in its size, the Lagoon 380. Even in the Pulse Line version (with a taller rig), the displacement was 19,850 lbs (9 tonnes) and sail area 882 square feet (82 m²), compared with 16,000 lbs (7.26 t) and 829 sq ft (77 m²) for the 380, i.e. a sail area to weight ratio of 9.11 m²/t and 10.61 m²/t respectively. The manufacturer has therefore modified the self-tacking jib sail plan to adopt an overlapping genoa - a configuration already in use on the Excess 14. This brings the total sail area to 1,028 sq ft (95.5 m²), an increase of 16.5%, which translates into a new ratio of... 10.61 m²/t! In the company of Excess Catamarans’ product manager, Hervé Piveteau, and sales manager, Théo Lelay, our colleague Brieuc Maisonneuve got the chance to appreciate the liveliness of this new Excess 11, particularly when it came to picking up again after tacking. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Excess Catamarans Architect: VPLP Overall length: 37’6” (11.42 m) Beam: 21’7” (6.59 m) Draft: 3’9” (1.15 m) Displacement: 19,850 lbs (9 t) Upwind sail area: 1,028 sq ft (95.5 m2) - Pulse Line rig Mainsail: 592 sq ft (55 m²) Self-tacking jib: 236 sq ft (22 m²) Code 0: 581 sq ft (54 m²) Motors: 2 x 29 HP Fuel: 105 US gal (400 l) Water: 79 US gal (300 l) Cabins: 3/4 ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Full video: https://youtu.be/k2Pps_LRlUs This is the payoff. In Part 3, I cook homemade catfish fish balls on the boat using the fish we caught and prepped earlier in the series. Simple techniques, big flavor, and proof you can cook high-quality food while living life afloat. From the water to the galley—this is Sailing Into Nirvana.
