Each August, we have a special trip to the Sea of Cortez/Midriff Islands to benefit breast cancer research with Dive for a Cure. In August 2020, we had 18 fun-loving ladies, a big inflatable pink flamingo, a pink tutu, and lots of craziness to go with an even crazier crew. We had a blast!

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
