Finishing the MAINSAIL [Capable Cruising Guides]
Today, we take a look at the quality of our new mainsail. Then we head to the boatyard to refurbish our old battens and work on a couple of side projects before returning to Temptress and wrapping up this project!

To avoid issues with product placement and advertising, we did not include the cost of the sail in the video. But we bought it from Lee Sails (Hong Kong) and the price of the sail was $2,920 USD. (We also had to pay customs, tax, and delivery.) Lee Sails was kind enough to give us a slight discount on the sail because of our YouTube channel.
