Unboxing of the Sailrite LSZ 1

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them. This episode is a quick unboxing of the new Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1. Deb and I were planning on having a sun awning made for the boat and as it turns out, we were able to buy the premium package from Sailrite for less than what this one piece was quoted as. We ended up buying our material at a local sewing place that had an entire roll (21 yards) of Sunbrella in the color we wanted, so we picked it up for about $300, which was a GREAT deal. We ordered the heavy duty thread from Sailrite and after I finish some testing for the straps and webbing designs I have in mind for the awning, I will order what we need. I am making my prototypes for the strap test from just simple cotton webbing. (NOTE - This is not something that you should do if you are going to use this, but for me it is nothing more than a template for testing size and design) Visit the Sailrite machine at the link below. http://www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Ultrafeed-LSZ-1-PREMIUM-Walking-Foot-Sewing-Machine -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "How to repair a wooden mast, boom, spar or Bulkhead (Step by Step) " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nxr-yxUjvQ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
