Custom Recycled Sail Covers - Episode 297 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Stack packs are a type of canvas sail cover for sailboats, offering convenience and efficiency in handling the mainsail. Paired with lazy jacks, these packs consist of a canvas cover that neatly encases the mainsail when lowered and zipped. The key benefits for sailors include quick and easy sail storage, streamlined deployment, and reduced crew effort. With stack packs, there's less of a need for manual flaking or folding; the sail more or less falls into place, simplifying the process for single-handed sailors or smaller crews. The packs also provide protection for the mainsail, shielding it from the elements and UV exposure, ultimately extending the sail's lifespan. Whether a seasoned sailor or a beginner, stack packs enhance the sailing experience by making sail management easier. -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!
