Live aboard a 40ft sailboat - Winter Projects- Sail Furling System - Start to Finish.

This week's project has been improving the poor furling system I had been running and trying to make a good reliable systems capable of going to wind. Nothing beats a bit of boat DIY and winter maintenance like trying to sort a headsail furling problem. Using a couple of cheap old headsail furlers from the USA and combining them with modern torsion cables, figuring out how to stitch those cables, modify the chainplate, run a 2 to 1 halyard and upsize the winch. If this all goes together, I will be a happy man. We've been using hank on sails for nearly four years, and boy would it be nice to be able to furl our sails just like the rest of them! This is the sail we use in storm conditions, so if what I've done isn't up to the task, it won't be fun to find out. Tell us what you think, is this going to be a massive boating fail, or a huge win for the wallet? :D I had good fun making this one so I hope you have fun watching it. Hopefully I have interrupted important sailboat boat work to bring this important furling news. If you enjoy watching, consider subscribing and hitting like and it does help massively. If you really enjoyed watching, consider buying us a coffee as that money goes to projects like this. https://buymeacoffee.com/theincompetentcrew
