Great content and editing. I changed out my standing rigging (48' Cat) while at anchor in Mo'orea. Removing the forestay to untangle the spinnaker would have been much easier and quicker and maybe even saved a good sail. I used two halyards to support rig while changing out all of the stays. It was a two person job (wife and I). I appreciate all of your great work and sailing footage is awesome.

Yes we considered taking off the forestay but didn’t do it as we thought Cocos / Keeling in 25 knots might not be the right place to do it.
@dentonearnhardt9891 4 күн бұрын
Got it. I guess we are less willing to destroy thousands of dollars in sails. I have had to remove forestays twice while at anchor for replacement or fixing furler foil. Pretty basic for future issues. Keep up the great work.

Hello Mark and Marika, we regularly follow all your videos, so well done, interesting and inspiring! Your experience and calm, also in complex situation, is an example for all us sailors. I have a question for you: I have seen in many video of yours that you have been very happy with your 140 sqm S3 heavy weather symmetric SPI.. Inspired by your experience, we would like to purchase the same kind of sail to help us on our first Atlantic crossing. Which material is your S3 done with: Maxilite 150 or Stormlite 210? Your feedback would be highly valuable for us. Thank you very much in advance and my wife and myself hope to cross path with you in a nice anchorage one day

The documentation I found says 160//185m2 stormlite polyester 2.2 oz If you contact us on insta or facebook (catgreatcircle) I can send you a picture of the specs

Hallo, wij zijn aan het voorbereiden van Deel 2 van onze reisen van NL naar Norwegen. Jullie video is erg inspirerend - heel mooie droon opnames al in 2017! Voor de zomer 2025 keer proberen wij met onze Lagoon 39 vanaf Haugesund noordelijker te varen met bestemming Lofoten. Zouden jullie een WP lijst of grove track van jullie reis kunnen beschikbaar maken?

Is that the standard set up for winches, foresails and wheel on the 52 or just new boat and not tuned? Seems a bit short for such a boat and outremers experience? Or just watched too many of Marc’s rapid sail changes on GC 😂
@CatGreatcircle 2 ай бұрын
I expect that the position of the winches themselves can’t be changed but that the deck layout in terms of routing of the lines can be changed. I’ve seen different setups on different 52’s

In a catamarn's name, does the number indicate the length of the boat, or is it something else? For instance, XYZ boat 32; does that indicate the boat is 32 feet? Silly question but I was curious :)

Most of the time, sometimes meters and sometimes brands think it makes sense to exaggerate a bit (eg Saona 47 isn’t even 46 foot)
