- We present to you the fifth out of six chapters in the Dragonfly Sail Guide series. This time Jens and Peter wants to take you through how to sail a Dragonfly in stronger wind conditions with the following topics:
00:32 Reefing the mainsail
5:35 Reefing the headsail
9:39 How hard can you push the boat
General for all Dragonfly Sail Guide videos is that we have tried to keep it relevant for all kinds of sailors no matter how skilled you are. Therefore, you will get basic knowledge and some in-depth explanations of how to trim and sail a Dragonfly.
And do not forget that we have tried to generalize as much as possible, so that these tips and tricks can be used on all Dragonfly Trimarans.
We hope that you will enjoy this fifth video in the Dragonfly Sail Guide series.
great demo, but one safety point, Always use the "topping lift", or the "lazy jacks" in your case to support the boom, as if the halyard goes down too fast, it can drop the boom onto someones head!!, so Tighten these, do the reef, then let them go!
Et voilà ! Well done Jens and Peter! Great video
Great combination of demo and decision making instruction!
Thanks for these videos!
Nice video, perfect boat
Nice demo thanks.
Love the videos. Great information! Thanks guys!
I thing what I wonder, is what is the right tension of forestay?
Sport 25 jib reefing recommendation? Given the small size of the 25 self tacking jib, seems this position would be different than 28 or 32 boats.
Thanks for this! Very helpful for those of us with custom trimarans. When you say reef at 20kts, is that true or apparent?
Reef at 20 knots. Is that apparent or true? Beware of gusty conditions. Our jib sheet clew snap shackles self-released under enormous load from a very sudden, very violent gust when sailing up the east coast of Scotland. Dragonfly 800. No time to reef! Had the shackles not self-released and instantly freed the jib, sail area would have exceeded these safety parameters by some margin. These are great boats but pay close attention to gust forecasts and reef for forecast gust speeds not for current wind reading.
Pumping the winch damages the pawls. Tsk tsk.
А что будет если перевернуться в океане на тримаране?
???????
Nose dive = pitch-pole
Why not illustrate your points with the actual boat rather than your mouth?
