New rigging, new sails and the Schengen shuffle! | Ep85

Our main winter job this year is done. Thanks to Jade for all the expertise (https://www.theboatshedwales.co.uk) As we said in the video there will be a technical special going through all the important details of how to change and maintain a rig. I'm also working on a video showing the whole process we went through with Precision sails to design the best sail for long term cruising, there's lots of great information in there so make sure you don't miss it! We are looking forward to heading out across the Atlantic too, after what we hope will be a great voyage across the Med. Now I'm just hoping for some dry weather to varnish before the off! Jade is based in North Wales and has a big sail loft as well as the rigging business. He comes highly recommended! https://www.theboatshedwales.co.uk/ Here's some information on the STA-LOK fittings we used: Turnbuckles https://www.stalok.com/product/supajust-toggle-sta-lok/ https://www.stalok.com/product/supajust-toggle-toggle/ https://www.stalok.com/product/supajust-body/ Sta-Lok Self Fits https://www.stalok.com/product/sta-lok-eye/ https://www.stalok.com/product/sta-lok-long-stud/ https://www.stalok.com/product/double-jaw-toggle/ The Seldén furlex system we fitted is the 404s: https://www.seldenmast.com/products/furlex-systems/ And we will have a whole episode coming up on the process of getting a sail from Precision Sails but in the meantime you can check out their website here, when you are in the process of ordering a sail there is a very good customer portal that stores all the information: https://www.precisionsailloft.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Instagram #svfairisle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE DO SUBSCRIBE - IT COSTS YOU NOTHING AND HELPS US OUT WITH THE YOUTUBE ALGORITHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rather see our videos without ads?...
