A staysail is a type of sail that is typically smaller than the main sail on a boat, and is attached to a stay (a wire or rope) that connects to the mast of the vessel. It can be used in a variety of wind conditions, but is particularly useful in stronger winds, when the larger main sail may be difficult to handle. In our case we’re using it because our furler is broken and we can’t use the headsail. Staysails are often used for upwind sailing, and can help to balance the boat by reducing the amount of weather helm (the tendency of the boat to turn into the wind). They can also be used in conjunction with a larger headsail or spinnaker to help control the boat’s speed and direction in varying wind conditions. Staysails are commonly found on sailing yachts and other sailing vessels, and can be made from a variety of materials, including Dacron, Kevlar, and other synthetic fibers. #staysail #sailboat #sailinglife

El gran problema de navegar a vela. No podemos navegar justamente con la proa al viento. En nuestros barcos modernos, como mucho podremos tener un ángulo mínimo de nuestra proa con el viento de unos 45 grados. Y no se te ocurra apostar, si eres un cenizo como yo, seguro que el sitio donde quieres ir hoy está justo en tu proa. Y cuando vuelvas rolará el viento. Para ello, deberás virar por avante o virar a secas. Pasarás el viento por la proa, de la amura de una banda a la otra amura. Pero ¿Sabes hacer bien esta maniobra? Ven a aprender a tu masterclass Sailing Txemacapitan. Si te ha gustado el vídeo 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐫í𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥 👍 Así nos ayudas a generar más contenido para ti... los amantes de la navegación y del mar.
