Rip & Racy on a Catalina 42 Ep 31
March 29, 2021 by Sailing Intermission | Language: EN Play Time: 00:12:04 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We repaired the big rip in our mainsail. It was a joint effort as Steve did the stitching and Karen provided juice via the foot pedal. We finished the last part of our interview with Dawn and Joe. Went racing and gave a tenacious test to the tear repair.
It turns out the rip in our mainsail was over 4 feet long. Thank goodness for 4” wide Dacron sail tape. Using the trusty Singer 237 and a zig-zag stitch we sewed over the tape for extra support. The deck made for an awkward sail loft but what the heck. Fortunately, the repair was toward the top of the sail so no one will see it, haha.
Decided to race a 9+ mile course. The winds were all over the place but at least the sail repair held. Probably came in last again; at least we finished.
Karen really appreciates our subscribers and their support. So does Steve.

Sailing Intermission
Featuring the sailboat Isabella, a Super Mikado 56 made by the French shipyard CNSO. Sailing, partying, dancing, cooking, and sometimes pushing the limits. This sailboat had been neglected for some time when she was purchased. Lots of cleaning, sanding, refinishing, new lines, refrigerator, pumps, water heater parts, whole boat water filters, bow thruster, lighting, fuel filters, instruments, air conditioning, etc.... Some of the fun with refitting a sailboat is to be able to do economical but quality improvements. Elbow grease saves a lot of money, watching for sales, knowing when substitutions can be made that will last, and of course enjoying the final product. We sail, fish (haha), dance, fly the drone, sometimes wear bikinis, DIY, ride the motorcycle, listen to great music, and enjoy life. Older sailors don't have a clew when to quit; they just keep lubing their winches.
