UK Sailmakers’ Head Sail Designer Pat Considine uses BSG Development’s FSI sail analysis program to help fine-tune his sail designs. The FSI program works like a virtual wind tunnel allowing Pat to make sure no section of the sail becomes overloaded, allows him to see how the flying shape changes with trim, mast bend, rig tune across a range of wind speeds. The program analyses how all the components of the boat’s rig and sails work together. In this video Pat talks about how he used the program to advance his sail designs for square top mainsails. At the end of the video analyzing the mainsail shape on the Mark Mills designed Cape 31, Pat said, “Anyone who got a square top mainsail design this year benefited from the Cape 31 study. It helped improve the group’s designs for square top mainsails.” This is just one more example of the technical tools UK Sailmakers uses to ensure our customers get the fastest sails possible.

================================ Welcome to the best week of your life! This is The Yacht Week – an adventure like no other. Explore stunning oceans and islands aboard your very own yacht – with your best mates and hundreds of other beautiful like-minded explorers in convoy. You’ll have your own skipper and the freedom to map your own path for seven days through spectacular beaches, deserted islands and incredible parties. Back in 2006, we were just a bunch of uni friends who wanted to go sailing and explore far and wide. Today, we’re still that same bunch of friends, only now there are 70,000 of us. And our loving family just keeps getting bigger. We have forged a community from adventurous spirits, vast open waters, and a host of musicians, collaborators, sailors and revellers. https://www.theyachtweek.com/ https://www.facebook.com/theyachtweek https://www.instagram.com/theyachtweek/ https://twitter.com/theyachtweek https://www.linkedin.com/company/day8/

uiser’s Fatigue… Living on a sailboat is a dream lifestyle but a hard one too…there are three of you in the relationship…the two of you and the boat, and you’re always together. Sometimes, at the end of a long season, with many nautical miles under the keel, you just need to stop, to get off the boat, to recharge and take stock. It’s called Cruiser’s Fatigue. If you didn’t catch it last week then please join us on YouTube for a trip to Cartagena and some good old fashioned whinging as the end of the 2023 season approaches. #followintrepidbearorollowintrepidbear #cruisingcouple #continuouscruiser #liveaboard #liveaboardsailboat #liveaboards #lifeafloat #travellingbyboat #boatlife #sailtheworld #medsailors #sailinglife #thissailinglife #sailingstories #adventurebeforedementia
