No Reefing Lines Rigged? No Problem!!!

Here we are rigging a reef line while underway. We had swapped the laminate main sail out for the Dacron main sail before leaving the dock, because it was quite windy and the Dacron sail is more robust. But we didn't rig the second reef line properly and had to pull it out in order to raise the sail. So here we are sailing under the first reef, while I climbed onto the boom to re-rig the second reef. I’m wearing a climbing harness attached to the spinnaker halyard for safety.

This is Part 2 of my countdown of the Top Luxury Catamarans in the British Virgin Islands. At #3, Twin Flame 77, a Lagoon 77 with a crew that’s been together over 4 years — rare in the BVI — and loved by repeat guests. She’s $88,000 for 8 guests per week. At #2, Alias 77, another Lagoon flagship and my personal favorite. She’s won 4 awards at Virgin Islands yacht shows and carries the biggest collection of water toys I’ve seen — e-foils, sea bobs, an inflatable Hobie Cat, and even a beach deck. Priced at $90,000 for 8 guests per week, she still has availability in March, April, and May.
