The new Quarken 35 Cabin has completed its journey from sketchpad to sea-trials! Extensive sea-trials have been taking place in Finland’s winter landscape over the last few weeks. The 35 Cabin has been pushed to the limits in the harsh December weather to feel and test all the driving characteristics and performance. Confident, dynamic, and thrilling to drive! The next-generation travel companion. Awaited World Premiere at Boot Düsseldorf in January 2024, stay tuned for more before that!
On most boats it is important to have the head of the mainsail as close to the top of the mast as possible. Furthermore it must also be quick to attach and disconnect the main halyard, even with cold and wet fingers. So a shackle or a bowline are not the best solutions. The best is the method is the one shown in this video. The bobble is nice, but not strictly necessary. A double figure of 8 knot (figure of 16?) will do. The bobble or knot is never removed so you cannot lose the halyard through the mast. I usually shorten the main halyard a few cm/in at the start of each season to move the wear spots.
