How We Built and Installed a Staysail on Our Old Boat | Full Build & Offshore Techniques

It’s finally here! Our first video since April. It has been a tough year for us – please see the post on our channel about where we have been. In this video, we take you through the full build and installation of a staysail on our Rival 32. This upgrade will be crucial to sailing in heavy weather, and keeping the boat balanced offshore. We have spent the last couple of years preparing this footage, from the rigging installations, visiting Kemp Sail’s loft and testing the new sail across the Atlantic Ocean – we hope it was worth the wait! A huge shout out to Kemp Sails who believed in our project and creativity to take us on as ambassadors for their brand, a real privilege. This staysail has carried us far and wide, and for many more miles to come. We hope that there is a nugget of information in this video that could help you with your own installation, or different techniques to use whilst sailing offshore. Please send us with any questions you have!
Thanks for tuning in, hit LIKE & SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this adventure – sending good autumnal vibes to you wherever you are!
Cheers, Joe & Solène.
