Ep 138 Rigging Failure at Sea | BVIs to Sint Maarten

We bounce around in this episode. We find ourselves in the BVI, using some lost footage that probably should have been in the episodes before James from Zingaro came to visit. That said, on passage from Cooper Island, BVI to Dutch Sint Maarten we suffer a rigging failure that forces us to motor the rest of the way. This may not seem the biggest rig failure there could be, but make no mistake, any failure of stays or shrouds on a sailboat must be taken absolutely seriously. Once in SXM, we get the necessary repairs done just in time for our friends Mike and Amy to arrive. With the guests on board, we tour the French side of the island, hitting Marigot Bay and Grand Case. sailing yacht talisman, sailing, sailing youtube, boating, top sailing, oyster yachts, oyster sailboats, oyster 485, offshore, bluewater, blue water, sailing vlog, sailing vblog, sailing channels, sailing videos, cruising, monohull, BVI, BVI chartering, BEYC, Willy T, Norman Island, Cooper Island, rig fail, sailboat rigging, sxm, Sint Maarten, Saint Martin, marigot bay, fort louis, grand case
