Yeehaw! Look at that baggy jib. Going to use the other stay sail halliard next time.
The whole package.
Back to bed for the night.

First sail on Shuttlecock! Very different than T2. I was under the smallest stay sail I have, as it's the only one with sheets. (They're too short btw.) The storm jib is so small, it's actually sheeted on the inside of the shrouds.

I have to say, it's pretty nice having a rolling furler. I don't miss having to haul the sails up on deck and then hank them on each time I went for a sail.

I have yet to buy a new main sheet purchase point for the boom above the new traveller I installed. Then I'll need a slightly longer control line for the traveller and I'll really be ready to sail. After that it's new sheets for the larger stay sails and rigging the spinnaker.

I don't have a Navionics track to share because I forgot to start my route. I'm out of practice.

All in all, a great first sail. Can't wait to go out again!
