Storm Jib Deployed! #storm #sailing
Storm Jib Deployment
In this episode of Sailing Sweet Ruca, the team demonstrates how to deploy a storm jib on their sailboat during challenging conditions at sea. At true wind angle 130, the storm jib fills without flapping and helps balance the boat perfectly.
The Setup
With a wind that suits a true wind angle of 130 degrees, the team decides to deploy their storm jib. Filled without any flapping, it is clear this size works for the current conditions and keeps the boat in balance.
Importance of Practice
The crew at Sailing Sweet Ruca emphasizes the importance of practice during real-life conditions, even if it seems like overkill. By attempting to use the storm jib in these scenarios, they’re ensuring that everyone knows exactly what to do when harsher weather sets in.
Conclusion
The deployment of a storm jib by Sailing Sweet Ruca is an exercise not just for practical application but also for preparation in the face of severe conditions. Their technique and approach underscore the importance of familiarity and practice when it comes to sailing safety.
