This ONE THING Could Have Saved Them (Pt. 4/4)
December 28, 2023 by Sailing Zingaro | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:30 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
After rescuing three souls off of a Bavaria 44, I knew something was wrong when I first laid eyes on that dismasted ship all those miles out to sea. It really had no business being out there (in my humble opinion) but I wanted a few other sources to nail down exactly WHY.
I finally got them in the form of a chance sighting in Ensanada, and a rigger named Chris Catterton.
Chris was the man who re-rigged ‘Te Vega’ the Mason 65 that I took across the Pacific a few years ago. You can find that video series here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Io0L22FDq4
When I was requested to help with this boat’s rigging, I called up Chris to see if he could help us out. He ended up making most of the rigging, and we installed it in Ensanada.
Before he got away I sat down with him and had a conversation about Yara, weak parts of the rig, and got his opinions on a few things. This is the YouTube video that came out of it.
