But a well-timed Happy New Year email from Leopard Australia set in motion events that led to ZSpars coming to our boat, checking our mast and teaching us about our rigging and how to tension it correctly. We want to share what we learned that day with you. To see the rig settings for yourself head to https://www.travelsketchsailing.com/leopard-catamarans Thank you to David at Leopard Australia, Remi and Jean Gui (Absolute legend 😎) from ZSpars and anyone else who was involved in the visit – it was a great day! Keep in mind we were not asked to do this video by Leopard or ZSpars. We value people sharing their real experiences and felt that it served the sailing community to share our positive experience and the information ZSpars gave us which can help other sailors and live aboard cruisers. After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran. 👍 Hit the subscribe button to share in the adventure! ⛵ 0:00 Intro 0:14 Rigging Issue & Solution 2:53 How to Tension the Rig 6:10 The Diamond 9:24 Tension Meters 10:00 How to Tension the Rig 19:33 Tef Gel 20:43 Thankyou & Update
