🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [2/52] 🪢 I think you would be surprised by the number of boats we see with flapping sails as they try to motor against the wind 😬 I’m saying you should stop this now! Not only will you save the sails to last longer, you will also ✨ Increase your boat speed ✨ Decrease your fuel consumption ✨ Make the boat go smoother in the waves ✨ Less noise Motor sailing can have its benefits, and even though we prefer sailing it would be lying to say we never give a little support with the diesel engine, especially sailing behind islands where the wind is usually all over the place. By giving a little extra push with the engine we can go higher up towards the wind or sail over choppy waves in conditions that would normally be to light. If you still want to go dead straight into the wind? DROP YOUR SAILS!! They are not doing ANYTHING good by just flopping like that! Share this to someone who you think should be a little kinder to their sails 😉

Day 10. A good day, or started like it It started with almost no wind, but I set the sails based on what I expected to come. Woke up at 2 a.m. and we were sailing in the right direction, perfectly balanced. No Hydrovane on, just the boat doing its thing. That felt really good. As the day went on, the wind picked up and we spent most of it on a broad reach toward the Azores. The wind has been a bit up and down, and the waves have been building, so every now and then we get the odd crash. Not constant, more like surprise hits. Still, overall it’s a fairly comfortable ride. Much easier to live with than yesterday. I spent a big part of the day trying to figure out the charging issue. Turns out the battery system was basically telling the alternator not to charge. So I cut that communication… and now it’s charging again. Not entirely sure if I’ve messed something else up in the process, but for now, we have power again. I’ll take that. Other than that, it’s been a nice day. Beautiful sunset, steady sailing, just moving along toward the Azores. We’re expecting similar conditions for the next few days, so let’s see how it goes. 🌊 ⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology. Follow along as I learn, prepare, and chase a dream that feels bigger than me. ------------------------------------------ New videos EVERY 7th of the month ------------------------------------------ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!: https://www.patreon.com/classicmara ------------------------------------------ Follow Mara: https://www.instagram.com/classicmara_/ __________________________ Support me: PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/helgamarielk Vipps: 39088 - Classic Mara Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/griedy1 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/173a9a5e6 __________________________ Affiliate links: Dakota Lithium Batteries: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=79634&awinaffid=2732466&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dakotalithium.com Orca Navigation System: https://getorca.com/?via=classicmara PitViper: https://www.pitviper.com/discount/CLASSICMARA?redirect=%2F&utm_campaign=money%2Bcounters&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=upfluence
