Is this the BEST sail you can add to a sailboat!?
Inspired by boat buddies @CalicoSkiesSailing, Ben and Alie decide to fit out their boat with a Selden bow sprit and a light wind "Code D" (gennaker style sail with more upwind capability) on a rolling furler! Special thanks to @SaltandTar for putting in another shift on Kiana as we finish our preparations to cross the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to French Polynesia. Thanks to @PrecisionSailLoftVictoria for the beautiful new Big Blue! We have bonus content on Patreon where we do a review of our new installation after putting some miles on it.
