New Mainsail, New Anchor Chain & Learning to Sew on a Sailrite! Ep-208
This week on Escapade, we’ve got a mix of thoughtful gifts, new skills to learn, and some exciting upgrades for the boat.
A viewer and talented craftsman, Aaron from The Barefoot Sander, kindly sent us some beautiful handmade pieces for Escapade, including a custom spice rack that completely transforms our galley. It’s always amazing to see the support from this community, and Aaron’s craftsmanship fits perfectly onboard.
Next, we pick up a second-hand Sailrite sewing machine, which means it’s finally time for us to learn how to sew and start repairing some of our own canvas. Before installing our new mainsail, we put the machine straight to work repairing our sail bag — our first real test learning how to use it.
After that, it’s time for one of the upgrades we’ve been most excited about. We pick up our brand new custom mainsail, made by the incredible team at South East Asia Sails in Phuket, Thailand, and finally get it installed on Escapade.
And to round out the upgrades, we install brand new Cromox 318L stainless steel anchor chain to pair with our trusted Rocna anchor — a serious ground tackle upgrade as we continue preparing Escapade for the adventures ahead.
Boat upgrades, new skills, and another big step forward as we keep getting Escapade ready for the miles ahead.
