Roam gets all new running rigging! Episode 17

How do you organize your boat project list? What takes priority? Often the priority list shifts when disaster strikes. On our passage from Isla Mujeres to Miami, our gennaker halyard ruptured. Due to that rupture, we lost the halyard, all associated rigging, the sail, and the bowsprit. To add insult to injury we brought an entire new set of running rigging with us to Guatemala when we purchased the boat, so this was entirely avoidable. Our examination of the lines led us to make the choice to hold off on replacing them. That was an expensive mistake. Since then, we've decided the sails aren't going back up until every line has been replaced. So here we go! https://sailingroam.com/ ☝More about us, our adventures, and how we do all this on our website.

A couple travelers out chasing the horizon, meeting the people, and capturing it to share with you. We’ve chosen to Roam the world by boat because, let’s face it, the most interesting path is rarely a straight line. As we learn to let go of our American drive to finish, and embrace the meandering routes across islands, oceans, continents, and people, we hope to gain a better sense of our world and our place in it. The path won’t always be comfortable or easy to find but, it will always #roam Here's an index of the video in case you want to see something specific: 00:00 Logo Splash 00:04 Local scenery 00:12 Intro 01:28 Jib sheet 01:46 Gennaker halyard 02:37 Main sheet and traveler lines 02:53 Reefing lines and outhaul 06:59 Main halyard 15:58 Wrap up 16:47 Don't forget to like and subscribe ----------------------------------------------------------- #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #nautitech #yachtlife #sailingroam #liveaboardlife #cruisinglife #boatprojects © Sailing Roam 2023
