@@paulopl5805 That's good to know. Why do you have the sheet going through 2 blocks? Please forgive my ignorance I'm trying to work out how to rig mine.
@@Alex-yk3bw no worries! It actually only goes through 1 block on the traveler astern. I pass the mainsheet through the beam knees for mechanical advantage when im lazy, not good practice, but removes the strain off my hands. It's possible i believe to make a 2:1 purchase with an additional block, and more rope.
Can I cover a distance of 150 kilometers with a boat like this? How long will the journey take?
Did you sew your own sail or did you have it professionally done? If so, where did you buy it from?
I had it made at Hyde Sails, they have a loft here in the PH.
@@paulopl5805 Thanks!
Just built one of these is it easy to sail?
I think so, I learned to sail using it. The rig's quite simple.
