Making the Martingale for our front beam

The Seagull Striker and Martingale are a critical structural part of the forward beam on the vast majority of catamarans. They strengthen the front beam between the two bows and take the load from the forestay which is usually either attached to the beam or the longeron. In our case we will make the forestay attachment on the longeron just behind the seagull striker. We also would like to improve our sailing range by adding an attachment for a storm sail. This video shows the lamination process of the front beam to longeron. We use the tip of a carbon fibre spreader as our seagull striker and make our own carbon martingale strap. If you are interested in how we install the carbon martingale that we make in this video see this vid here https://youtu.be/RkFjLcRA2uU For more information on us check out our blog - https://youngbarnacles.com/carbon-fibre-martingale/ For more information join our membership site - https://youngbarnacles.com/plans/all-access-memberships/ Or follow us on the socials : On instagram - https://www.instagram.com/youngbarnacles/?hl=en On facebook - https://www.facebook.com/youngbarnacles/ Click subscribe if you enjoyed this video and press that bell button if you would like to be notified every time we upload something new
