Downwind Reefing #sailing #adventure #bluewater #travel
Downwind sailing is bliss — right up until you need to reef with a kite in the air! This is a special bonus segment with a downwind reefing demonstration pulled from our Pacific Passage series, answering one of your most-asked questions: "how do we do downwind reefing?" featuring Nikki Henderson.
We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life.
⛵ IN THIS EPISODE
• Benefits of Downwind Reefing
• Biggest risks of this procedure
• Learning new skills with Nikki Henderson
• Our downwind reefing procedure
• How we shake a reef out downwind
If you’re dreaming about sailing around the world, living aboard a catamaran, planning an ocean crossing, or transitioning to a simpler life of travel and adventure, we hope this episode resonates with you.
