Ep 328 | Shortening the Furler Foil and Making Nutshell Super Safe! Sailing Nutshell, Darwin
July 25, 2023 by Life in a Nutshell | Language: EN Play Time: 00:16:25 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Magnus decides to reduce the length of the headsail furler foil to prevent it from getting caught up in one of the halyards in the future, and jamming up the system. So we remove the furler and begin the task of shortening it, replacing the rivets and bolts.
Wendy works on the new cockpit cushions.
Magnus fits the new stainless steel solid lifelines for Nutshell.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…
Wendy and Magnus
