Performance Catamaran Tips and Tricks - Hoisting a Code Sail

This video covers how to prepare and hoist a furling code sail on a Balance catamaran. In this video, we cover: • Identifying the halyard, tack connection and furling system • Confirming the sail is tightly furled before hoisting • Routing the sheets outside the standing rigging and lifelines • Checking that all lines are clear and free to run • Coordinating between the helm and deck crew • Hoisting smoothly and applying the correct luff tension • Completing final checks before unfurling Careful preparation is essential. A crossed sheet, twisted halyard or incorrect attachment can become much harder to correct once the sail is hoisted and under load. These principles apply broadly to Code Zeros and similar furling code sails used on performance sailing catamarans. Learn more about Outer Passage: https://outer-passage.com
