It's snowing!! So lets start reefing Mirror Dinghy sails!
It is absolutely freezing today, snowing and about 2 degrees celcius so it's again super frustrating not to be able to sail again. It would be madness to sail all alone with water well below temperatures that would be dangerous to be stuck in. So I decide to plogh ahead and start the work on reefing my sails. I think there's going to be 3 or 4 reefing videos in this series to cover everything in nice sized videos and they get quite technical so just wanted to warn you about that. 00:00 It's Snowing! 01:31 Setting up the boat 03:30 Looking at the spare Gaff 04:09 Comparing the mainsails 04:58 Hoisting the mainsail 07:24 Testing the "Bermuda" style halyard 15:07 Measuring the mainsail for reefing points 19:30 Testing the reef point measurements 24:09 More snow so it's lunch time!!
