Episode 61 - We Can Now Begin to Screech

Toni and I could only afford one extra sail when we ordered "Moments in Time". We chose the "Screecher" over a Spinnaker as we believed the "Screecher" would be a much more versatile sail for sailing the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. It is the perfect sail for sailing in light winds where there is frequent tacking and jibing in between the rivers and narrow channels of the bay, and because as we know, the winds only tend to blow in the direction you want to go. We wanted it rigged on a single furling system on the bow sprit so it could be easy to handle by Toni and I from the cockpit. Once rigged on the furling system, it becomes a simple matter of deploying. We have made some tweaks using additional snatch blocks since this video. Surprisingly there were not many videos on how to rig a "Screecher" on a continuous furling system. I hope this helps others. Subscribe and share the adventure!
