8 DIY rigging replacement: Our headstay must go!
What do you do when you’re on a shoestring budget and your friendly neighborhood sailboat rigger quotes you over $9500 to install a new jib furler and repair a torn jib?? You do it yourself for half the price! In today’s episode, we finally manage to release our stuck jib and get a good look at the damage it sustained from a suspected impact. We send it off for repairs and get to work disconnecting our damaged jib furler. We also drop our chafed headstay, and replace the whole assembly ourselves, having no experience and only YouTube University as a guide! We at FLOW love a challenge, and this one did not disappoint! Come along for the ride and see how it’s done on this week’s episode!!

For Love of Wind
Sailing SV Flow - 2 people, 4 dogs, 0 experience We’re just a couple of middle-aged empty-nesters who are slightly prone to “Oooh-Shiny” Syndrome and sometimes lack the good sense to back down from a challenge. Granted, no one has ever accused us of leading boring lives; crazy, maybe, but not boring. We don’t do sweet, sane life-in-a-box. We do live in a near constant state of chaos, but chaos has become our friend and our mentor. Now we’ve really jumped off the deep end (pun definitely intended) and are taking on our biggest challenge yet- we are setting out on a circumnavigation of the globe in our 45' sailboat with our four dogs as unwitting accomplices. This new adventure promises to shape and mold our lives in ways we’ve only imagined. We invite you to follow along with us as we turn the page on this new chapter. And don’t worry- while you are starting in the middle of our story, you, my friend, have the benefit of skipping right to the best chapter!
