How to Rig a Balanced Lug Sail , Simple Lazy Jacks & Reefing - Part_2

Lug sail rigging my GIS's for the second season!!
People have asked me how I rigged my GIS, the lazy jacks and how I secure or attach the blocks to the boom so I decided to make a video showing how to rig it (my setup of course), and how to make simple lazy jacks with just some lines and one shackle (these have proven invaluable on my first season!)
I have made some changes to my lug sail reefing system to make it as quick and reliable as I can. Reefing a lug sail in this way on my Goat Island Skiff is easy and fast enough so that I can do it without the need to drop anchor or going to shore. Quite simple reefing setup, but effective.
The video end up being over 30 minutes long so I split it in two parts!

Thank you for stressing the point: Never tie the reef points around the boom.

If ever there was a promoter of everything to do with sailing Teo is that person. He makes as if he can do it so can you. Comfortable or what!

[@carryonpompei]

Thanks Teo. I sail a Beth sailing canoe, which also carries a balanced lugsail and was designed by Michael Storer. Right now it takes me a good 20 minutes to rig it, but after seeing this video I think I can make the process much faster. And I agree - lazy jacks are really useful, and adapting the boat is half the fun.

Loving your DIY philosophy, learning and modding and trying things out is a big part of the hobby for me too.

[@lopsidelarry1556]

Love the way you think, modify how you want for your needs, people may laugh & later see the sense of your modification & probably claim the idea as their own We all know the type of person this applies to.

Gorgeous weather Teo......summer is coming for you. Winter is coming for me......but really the Winter in Queensland is the envy of most of the world....!!! I am 1 week from launching my new boat so you will get to see some Winter sailing from Australia soon. I like your lazy jacks, I think I will put some in my boat too. Jason

very imformative. i was a kid messing around with a sunfish, too much fun. learning the ropes, pun intended.

WHAT IS A BLEATER?

[@tehtairing]

I fully agree on your way for DIY to suit own needs and there is no perfect boat.

[@buynsell365]

Great modifications. The key is to always keep things simple.......and you are doing a great job at that. Keep up the great work.

[@jasonstork9606]

Teo you hit the nail on the head at

Very nice and useful video! Thank you

[@johntickell8496]

Greetings from Australia. I am setting up my Goat at the moment and I reckon your videos and ideas are excellent.

[@TheCrioGod]

As long as it's effective it doesn't matter if it's crude! Really nice video! Best regards!

[@johndavies2093]

Well done👍👍👍.

[@kenniclown3103]

Really good demonstration! I don't know much about sailing and I was easily able to understand it.

[@gerrys6265]

Thank you for posting this...Great video, great philosophy on sailing/rigging/building...cheers

[@paulbargren7063]

I really enjoy your videos. They are informative, straightforward, based on experience. This series was especially timely as I am preparing to rig a gaffer at our volunteer shop. Good sailing to you this summer!

[@shanevan4106]
