BETTER LATE THAN NEVER


Bianka has only one sail but it is 540 square feet. it's rather large and unwieldy.  When I took
it off the boat last fall I just bundled it together and put it in the garage thinking that I would fold
it when I got the time on the lawn.   Well, the days came and went and I never did fold it last fall.
So when the COVID-19 pandemic struck and people including me were pretty much
quarantined at home.  It seemed like a good time to lay the sail out on the lawn and get it done.

I thought it was going to be more difficult doing it alone but, it was pretty easy.



Now I just have to wait until the boat is launched to get it where it belongs. On the mast.

We just moved Scat, our Nonsuch 26 Ultra up to Olympia WA from the San Francisco Bay area. We got the mast stepped, and put the sail back on, but found out our coupler was loose and our prop shaft could come loose at any time while in gear. We had an appointment to get re-hauled out, but the boatyard closed down that day. Now we can only wait....

Lucky the shaft did not come loose on the passage up to Olympia. You can clamp a vise grip onto the shaft as insurance the shaft will not pull out until you get hauled out.
