SailAway 19 | How to Measure Your Sailboat for New Sails | Sailboat Living Sailing Vlog

WATCH THIS before buying new sails! How to measure your boat! In this episode of sailboat living with SailAway, we take you through the first steps of the giant leap of getting new sails. Layla's been limping along on her 23 year old sails long enough and it's time she got an upgrade!! If you're gonna be sailing around the world, it starts with actual sails, right? What's more, we introduce you to our sailmaker and partner, Precision Sails, and Precision's own Ron McInnis goes over the finer details of what makes their set up and process different (and we think better) than the rest. We also give you a glimpse of how to measure the sailboat's rigging and old sails to ensure a perfect fit. New sails are one of the biggest expenses of SAILBOAT LIFE, so you want to do it right AND save $$. All part of the preparation for sailing the Caribbean. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT!
