One TINY Mistake: Now we're STUCK! [EP 114] - How to replace your forestay - Almost
November 16, 2020 by Sailing Millennial Falcon | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:08 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this weeks episode we take the Falcon dockside here in Carriacou, Grenada to tackle one of the last parts of our DIY rigging overhaul, the forestay. After some interesting maneuvering to get alongside the dock and some confusion amongst the line handlers, we got the boat all tied up. We then immediately got to work dropping down the roller furler tube in order to remove and replace the forestay housed within. Our first hiccup was the all too common problem of a seized and (subsequently) threaded grub screw between the furler extrusions. Thanks to a helpful passerby who happened to have the exact equipment we needed, we quickly solved that problem.
Thinking that was the last of our problems, the job continued smoothly until the last step… re-installing the Sta-Lok fitting on the forestay. It was about here that everything went pear-shaped and a 1mm error in measurement derailed the entire job and delayed our departure by weeks…
Feel a bit defeated, we went back out to anchor to wait for new rigging to be sent to us. Our silver lining was that even though we couldn’t fix our forestay, we picked up our trusty old stays’l from the sail maker who repaired the tear… We’re still one step closer to getting outta here and on the water again!

Sailing Millennial Falcon
What do you do when the whole world seems hell bent on getting a mortgage, buying houses and procreating but your not quite ready to join them? Well, we decided to scrounge every penny we had, buy a boat and chase the adventure of a lifetime in the hope of challenging the assumption that prolonged world travel is only for the mega rich and the retired. Khiara and I (Adam) are from Melbourne, Australia. We bought the Millennial Falcon, a 1981 Tayana 42, in Port Charlotte, Florida in February of 2018 and have been repairing her in many weird and wonderful places ever since! It's been one hell of an adventure so far and we hope to continue for as long and as far as we can! We saved for many years to realise our goal. Watching other sailing channels, in addition to brightening our work days, gave us the hope and drive to continue saving and eventually take the plunge! So please join us on our adventure. I hope we make you laugh and can prove to some of you that it can be done!
