We unbox and set up the sailing system on the Portland Pudgy
We unpack all the items needed to set up our Portland Pudgy for Sailing and come up with a system to minimize the set up time. We also make some modifications to the dagger / lee boards, Cunningham, reefing system and traveler to make it easier when launching from our 1974 Gulfstar motorsailor. We go through setting up the rudder and tiller, dagger/lee boards, mast and boom, sail and control lines.... on and off the water (ok, it was a pool... but still water!) 0:00 Make a Sailing Dinghy 0:37 Really Good Manual 2:18 Rudder & Tiller Assemble 4:53 Dagger / Lee Boards 5:46 My Dagger board Mod 8:40 Rudder Storage 9:24 Boom, Mast, & Sail Setup 12:35 Boom line rigging 16:53 Outhaul line setup 17:16 Bowline knot 18:43 Cunningham line 20:18 Sail store system 21:06 Water Simulation 22:18 Pull down sail system 26:50 Roll the sail around the Mast 30:15 Slide into red cover 33:03 6 Minute Install Sail 39:50 Pull onto the Beach 41:20 Sail and Line Mods 52:11 Mod Testing 57:57 Reefing the Sail Mod
