A staysail is a type of sail on a sailboat that is set on a stay, or a support wire or rod that helps support the mast. A staysail can be found on the forward section of the boat, between the mast and the bow of the boat. Staysails are smaller than the main sail and can be triangular or jib-shaped. Depending on the design, the staysail can be attached to the stay with hanks or a furling system, which allows for easy deployment and stowing. A staysail can be used in various wind conditions and can be adjusted to provide more or less power depending on the wind speed and direction. Often, the staysail is used in combination with the main sail to optimize sail trim and help the boat sail more efficiently. Sailboats with staysails typically have a rigging plan that includes multiple stays or shrouds that provide support to the mast. This rigging is more complex than the simple fore-and-aft rigging found on smaller sailboats, but it allows for greater sail area and better performance in a wider range of wind conditions. #sailingexperience #sailinglife #sailingadventure

SEA TURTLES CAUGHT IN GHOST NET #indianocean #sailing #shorts #nature #ocean Sailing across the Indian Ocean our sailing family came across two Hawksbill sea turtles trapped in ghost netting, floating in the ocean, close to death. We set to work removing the fishing net that had entangled them, cutting into their skin and their shells. We were just in the right place at the right time to free these beautiful creatures and give them back their freedom. You can watch the full video on our YouTube channel. #indianocean #sailing #shorts #nature #ocean

⚓ We still shout at each other when we drop anchor and then act like nothing happened afterwards 😆 ⛵ I (Greta) still question if the boat will actually turn back upright when we start heeling 🍜 Sometimes offshore “dinners” are just cup noodles and that is totally fine 🛠️ We have clear job assignments that have not really changed in the last 7 years 🧽 We procrastinate when it comes to scrubbing the hull 🌊 We still have a lot to learn. Sailing is not something you can fully master in a classroom. Some lessons only come from being out there in the elements. Here is to embracing the quirks, the learning curves and the messy bits of life at sea. That is what makes the journey ours 💙 If you are dreaming about boatlife or curious about what it really takes to sail offshore, scroll to our link in bio. You will find resources, tips and a glimpse into the reality of living on the water so you can start charting your own course. Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi ⛵️ #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife
