I am new to your channel and would love to see you demonstrate rigging, unfurling and furling that big blue kite. I have heard about these furling downwind spinnakers but never seen one in action before. It looks a safer, if somewhat more limited, option to a giant spinnaker or parasailor (I see you mentioned this in another comment).

@@dougmarder it’s just like 2 code zeros joined and put on a furling torsion cable, super simple I can pull it out and have it up in 5 mins and furl it in seconds

How do you launch & douse the trade wind sail?

[@mckenziesonthemove807]

@@26N80W it’s on a furler like the code 0 and code D !! Pull it out the bag hoist it and pull on the sheets !! 5 mins and 30 seconds to furl away if needed 🤙

Hey Gavin, really interested in your thoughts on the furling tradewind sail. I’m tossing up between that or an Oxley parasailor… I’m single handed on a 50ft cat…

[@mckenziesonthemove807]

Hey sailing sea horse !! I had mine made 120m2 so smaller for moderate to stronger winds and I love it due to its simplicity and safety being able to furl it so quickly even single handed in 30 knots. Only downside is you can only sail downwind or 20 degrees or so either side compared to a spinnaker or parasailor which has way more scope. I didn’t like the idea at night bouncing around on the tramps in a squally trying to pull a sock down so it’s a safety thing for me and I love it. It’s simple and effective and you will only take it down because you go too fast but warranted for 27 knots apparent which is huge !!
