Back when we were reprovisioning for our ocean passage from Port Vila, Vanuatu to Noumea, New Caledonia. Vicki is considered somewhat of a hoarder when it comes to food and let's just say that Tāiko is always well stocked with tin goods. Her philosophy is 'There's always room for one more tin!". #sailingcouple #sailing #sailingaway #sailinglife #sailingboat #sailingyacht #sailingvessel #sailingadventure #passageplanning #passageplanning☕ #passageplanning2 #passageplanning🌎 #oceancrossing #oceancrossings

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
