This is the sail we hope to never use. Ever. But like so many other safety measures, it gives us peace of mind just knowing it’s there. It’s a storm jib — 🧡bright orange🧡 so that if we ever do need it, visibility won’t be a problem (because that’s definitely a moment we’ll want to be seen). It’s designed to be set over our furling system where the genoa normally lives, so we don’t have to wrestle down a huge sail on deck in the middle of a storm. Just roll out the storm jib, and it’s ready ⛵️ No, we hadn’t seen one like it before either. But it makes a whole lot of sense now. Have you seen one like this before?

Here’s an interesting view of an Exploration 45 from the front. It reveals what Olivier Racoupeau refers to as ‘beam stability’, in his interview on the Garcia Yachts channel. Katy and Jerry on GX25 - Idril pulled up to the dock next to GX27 - Snow Gum. The four of us humans had a good chat about all manner of things relating to Exploration 45s. It was like the old days, pre Covid. Good fun. 🙂 I don’t know what the two boats talked about. Regards, Rick. Quick quiz - what’s the story with the name Idril? No search engines allowed! 😠
