Good to try (I can see your experimental approach more clearly now - cool) .. when depowering go really hard on the downhaul as first resort. Crazy tight. That will flatten out the top of the sail which is more effective at reducing heel (and drag - pointing angle always relates to drag from flapping or overfull sails) than flattening out the bottom ... of course the time comes when have to flatten out the bottom as well! I'm still not convinced about the halyard cleat. Glad you have the lazyjack cleat on the side of the mast that can be a halyard secondary if ever needed. Was it a pure spectra halyard (no outer) or one with a polyester outer. When I rigged 420s they used a metal Clamcleat CL217mk2 for their halyards they can handle really substantial loads and can take the halyard right out to release. The plastic ones wear out with much load. Combined with a fairlead behind can pull the halyard through the cleat from any point on the boat - as you have done with the outhaul. Great applications of a fixed loop for reefing. The original idea was to allow to change to a shorter footed sail ... but that is brilliant. But not as brilliant as the custom GoPro mounts for the GIS. Really really brilliant. Maybe a show and tell on those .. there are quite a few boats with spacered gunwales!
@TheBoatRambler4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your feedback Michael!! Reefing loops: I believe the loop idea for reefing was Joost's, I can't take credit for that! GoPro mount: I'll check if I have any footage of the building process. It's really simple, just 4 pieces of wood and 4 screws... The previous halyard was spectra with no outer. All spectra I have has no outer unfortunately. I can't get Spectra with poly outer anywhere in Portugal!! Downhaul/Outhawl: When I flattened the bottom of the sail I had the downhaul already maxed out. My downhaul is made with 2x double blocks + 1 single. Using 2x triple blocks alone would give me more distance to pull, but I already had those doubles and I don't want to buy any more blocks!!!

So if I understand correctly, the lazy jacks tighten up as the sail drops, negating the need for a topping lift. Nice. For beaching, you might want to have a boom crutch with optional positioning; port quarter, starboard and center. You'll be able to drop sail and keep the boom from swinging in on people. Just a thought.

Nice, I couldn't see the whole sail shape and not familiar with the lug rig, so wondering whether the luff laying off with the leech prevents the peak from twisting off in response to gusts, spilling pressure? That would be a good thing in moderate wind, but not good when overpowered in strong wind gusts. This is of course an important mechanism for modern racing skiffs & the point of their square topped mainsails, just curious how this works with the lug rig.
@TheBoatRambler3 жыл бұрын
Hi Ken! I believe the yard was designed to bend and spill wind on the stronger gusts. My setup doesn't have a separate adjustment for Luff and Leech tensions. I can kind of balance how much I want to spread that tension between them but that is it. Some GIS have separate lines to allow for a better control. I don't need it as I don't race my GIS.
@kenwebster50533 жыл бұрын
@@TheBoatRambler Yep I understand about not racing. I was just really asking to get an idea how the sail responded to gusts. I only mentioned skiffs to illustrate the importance of twisting off response to gusts to limit heeling moment. You may have seen a confusing reply from me that I have since deleted, I was getting you confused with another video I commented on today. I have often wondered how well the lug rig performs what it's like to manage. I don't think I've ever seen one sailing here in Australia.
@TheBoatRambler3 жыл бұрын
hey Ken! No worries mate! This is my first lug sail too and this video was the early days of my GIS. The amount of sail aft of the mast is enough to force some twist regardless of the luff. To be honest whatever wind the sail doesn't spill due to bending of the yard I just react and compensate by easing sheet. It does make the sail luff but it is effective and since I NEVER cleat the mainsheet it is not an issue to me. But in really strong winds the yard bends quite a bit and I can see the leech flapping. I have sailed a lot since I made that video and to me the really big advantage of my setup is the ability to put a reef on in 1 minute, and that is including the time to lower and raise the sail, that way I never have to be sailing overcanvassed. 😉

Hi Gerry! The Spectra halyard is very important on this type of sail. The low stretch line I used here is just satisfactory, but for better performance and/or high winds the Spectra makes a big difference. If the halyard stretches the sail's luff will flap in strong winds so the sail shape and efficiency will suffer as a result. I have since bought spectra with poly outer and it works a treat!! Also on the reefing system Spectra is awesome as I can have really thin lines permanently hanging from the sail.

@TheBoatRambler4 жыл бұрын
Hey Thomas! Generally speaking, in light air the boat needs all the power available to move forward and it needs to “catch” all the wind available, so the sail shape should be full/deep. In strong winds the boat will have more wind than it can handle so it will start heeling and that slows it down. Going from 5 to 10 kts increases the force on the sail by x 4. Flattening the sail will make it spill wind easier so the boat can be kept leveled and easier to control.
