Welcome to Vagari’s 7th winter of sailing. We have put 8,000 miles under Vagari’s keel during those cruises but this year like last year won’t be a high mileage year. We just don’t have the lust for the long cruises that we did when we started cruising but we still enjoy living on board and sailing near our homeport. Welcome aboard! We hope you enjoy our blog. Your comments, questions and suggestions are appreciated and encouraged.

Wing and Wing Sail Configuration

On the way to San Pedro Bay. The dark curved line on the big sail is a batten which helps the sail keep its shape but is up against one of the wires that supports the mast therefore the curve. Note the three dark areas next to the mast on the big sail. These are places (reef points) where can pull the sail down when it’s too windy. This sail has three reef points. The same type of dark areas on the outside of the sail are where the back of the sail is reefed down. The third area is above the two you can see. We used two reefs on our attempted crossing.

Great story you got here. I'd like to read something more about this matter. The only thing it would also be great to see on this blog is a few photos of any gizmos.
