#11 | Solo Sailing | Mainsail Ripped (2500Nm to get Home)

- After clearing the Pentland Firth the at the very top of Scotland I headed out into the Atlantic and started heading towards Iceland. Unfortunately, during heavy weather my first reef line broke as I was putting in the second reef and the ensuing stress on the mainsail turned a sail that was on its last voyage into a ripped and useless mess.

"I don't think that's gonna buff out"....Brilliant 😂😂😂
Great insights. Who talks about bilges on mistrals! Love it. 🎉
Thanks so much!
That quick view of the bilge and ballast transfer plumbing, showed a cluster of complex pipework and manifold. I'd appreciate a video on how it all works (sometime). I'm enjoying my armchair ride along.
sure! I’ll do it when the weather is warmer here in Nova Scotia ! until then there is a video here from when I brought the open 60 back from france that gets into her ballast system somewhat - might open up some of the basic concepts for you! czcams.com/video/OEpNysZG8iw/video.html
More videos, more more more...😃
Working on it!
Stay safe and keep up with the great videos. Really enjoying sharing your journey
Thank you! Will do!
A little bit of sticky back and that sail will be ready for another lap of the planet ;-)
Ah Doug, unfortunately there is not enough sticky-back Dacron on planet earth to breathe life back into that main… she’s pooched… BUT that doesn’t mean we can’t sail 2500Nm back home on it !
@@CSMtheMariner LOL
Dude, I love you. Lose the music when you start taking. Sailors want to hear the wind and water. Trust me :)
Roger.. as you can see I was already tongue in cheek about the music.. perhaps I will just deep six my aspirations to equal Erik Aanderaa’s levels of cinematography :)
@@CSMtheMariner you got it mate, and yeah, let's love Erik for Erik and You for You, there's room for everyone :)
By the way, I'm a snobby musician and I've been impressed with your musical taste here and in podcast land :)
@@CSMtheMariner there are some who just want cinematography and some who want seamanship. I would rather your advice about safety harnesses than his advice about how to make great looking film(without a harness!)
@@akcarlos Totally agree!!
this is good feedback thank you - when I see Erik being successful with his style of videos, it’s easy to fall into thinking - ‘then that must be the way to make a sailing video- I must emulate that. ultimately however, I really only know about sailing … so, perhaps I should stick to that !
