We visit the local sail loft to sit down with the designer and go over our choices and his recommendations. We also discuss high tech fabrics and the dynamics of in-mast furling and reef points. We conclude our visit with a tour of this modern sail loft. 00:00 Intro 00:47 Double Headsail plans 02:58 Mailsail design 03:44 Rig data P E J dimensions 04:13 Furling Mailsail design 04:42 Vertical battens 06:01 How to reef a furling mainsail 07:39 Reefing a mainsail to a Storm trysail 09:13 Tour of the Sail Loft at UK 10:38 Storm jib on anti-torsion cable 12:40 Dyneema mainsail stitched together by master sailmaker 14:51 Coming up next #babbel #languagelearning #sailmaking
