super nice setup guys. I use the same anti torsion setup for my code zero. Cheers and happy sailing

What a beautiful boat, hope you enjoy every moment on the ocean, enjoy the freedom.

Maybe I missed it, but is there a way to manually furl the main should there be an electrical or motor (winch) problem? Can this be done from the cockpit too?

De zeilen kosten een paar knikkers😮 maar wel mooi😅

A heavily built, high-clewed Yankee has served me well on a 40 foot cutter. In foul weather you need to be able to see.

That's very exciting. Congratulations. I suppose by now you've had your first sail. I hope it went well.

What were your rationals for using inmast, vs boom furling vs lazy jacks. Eaze, mechanical, cost, physical capabilities, cost vs convience. Of course as is applicable to your needs.

Fantastic!

Good luck you guys you earned every bit of this.⛵

Amazing sails. Some very high quality and all brand new. It’s a beautiful thing!

Dyneema, soft shackles, low friction rings, torsion lines and never ending furling lines, soft clue, how quickly deck hardware has changed. A quick note on that beautiful storm sail, I never want to see it again! Let’s just do the code zero bit…

If I can choose between running the storm sail and 1/8 jib or running 1/3 jib only, I would always prefer the storm sail option. Setting it when you really need it is more risk and it is way better for your working jib long term. Set it early and stay safe would be my moto

a little boring main sail

Hii Paul, It is great to see that you are almost there, looking forward to see you on water again. I understand you have 111sqm Code0, what is your exact sail plan, I even could not find in enksail web, Main and genoa what are the sqm o the sails?

What a great looking sail system with no need to go onto the foredeck to handle your storm sail, very impressive

Heavy weather sails are mandatory, not optional on my sailboat. I like this system for the storm sail installation. Very quick in increasing weather conditions.

On my boat I used the same flying staysail system with a rigid accumulator and it is not the same to install it in the marina as it is while sailing, much less if it is at night, waves, etc., in my case I finally ended up installing a fixed staysail. , I am very happy with the change, I can deploy it in closed winds or catavatic winds in a moment.

I can't wait to see her heading for the Bahamas! I always love it when you guys go down there.

I wouldn't rely solely on halyards wrapped around the forsail, for security I would always wrap a sail tie or rope around the sail with a knot when at the dock or in heavy weather.

watching the video I thought the last reef on the main sail should have been the same colour as your storm gib. Boat is looking great

Beautiful boat

Great to see the new boat and all the progress you've made.

Congratulations on the new boat. It looks beautiful! Very interesting and versatile sail plan. I want to see it in action. Cheers.

That code zero sail is bonkers. How many square meters is that thing? 100 m2. Yikes

Most very interesting. I've never worked with these self furling sails. Have always been skeptical.... now going to google more about this storm jib thing....

Oh Wow @08:37 that side profile is so nice - perfect looking sailboat! ONLY issue, what about the transom? It has no "sugar scoop" or way to get onto the boat if you fall off? Why did you build it without a sugar scoop -- I don't understand this as it has a traditional transom appearance??

❤❤❤

Getting close! We are standing by, waiting to go out with you on your trial run, just as we have watched so many times with Distant Shores III when you left Hythe Marina.

That is a beautiful set of sails! Emphasis on having a setting for every point of sail and every wind strength. The sail handling gear in all cases is appropriate for the conditions it is used in. I am so sick of inadequate “do all” sails using the “reef early” escape clause. What is the point of having a fine performing sailboat that is always sailed in fear and an extra reef? I am sure that set of sails and furlers is expensive enough to shock terrestrial retirees, but if those same people have a home near the beach they are getting shocking insurance and tax bills that make the cost of those sails look like a bargain.

IMHO, The Orion 49 in combination with the excellent sailplan, is an absolute winner for easy blue water sailing with a limited crew. I would make excactly the same choises as you've done. Congratulations, fair seas and following winds!

The next step is done toward actually sailing! Yea! Now I wonder, were the fellows who came out with the new sails (the sails men) the same as the sales men who sold you the sails? Or am I simply being silly? : - ) Oh, and about strong wind sails, . . . my Paceship P2-20 is too small for strong winds. But I have accidentally been out when strong winds came along. My main sail is not set up to reef but I have wished it were. I actually made myself a Genoa, but it is actually meant for lighter winds. I guess I could have a half sized jib and make it so I could reef my main. Those options would help if I encountered stronger winds. While I only lake sail, here in the central Finger Lakes area, there can be unexpected high winds. Though, that's more likely with long distance blue water sailing. BTW - Thanks for the update. Is all the interior work done?

Glad to see you launch your new sailboat. 💕💌

Your rigger is correct in showing you how to secure the head sail for high winds. Wrapping a halyard around the sail as high up as you can wind it around, is a sure way to prevent it from being accidentally deployed and destroyed in a storm. I actually prefer to keep the boat at the dock with it wrapped in this manner.

I think there are better stay sail rigs that stay rigged but back behind the standing rigging and are deployed forward when needed with the sail being rigged after the stay sail rig is pulled forward into position. That makes it simpler and quicker to deploy. It will sail similar to the one you have chosen. My slip neighbor has it on his Beneteau and has used it in the Atlantic very successfully. He keeps a 140 on the head sail and deploys the Staysail for heavy winds. The whole system is out ofthe way when sailing with the JIB head sail.

If the sail is made of dynema, then why even need battens? Especially in a furling main. Battens in a furling main can cause jamming as the sail wears. I don’t see the need for vertical battens on such a strong sail material. Maybe a little overkill, especially if you need to remove the sail in tough conditions at sea.

Very interesting video - Heavy weather ! no thanks 🙂

Рад за вас Ребята вы дружная Семья. С наилучшими пожеланиями из Владивостока Россия !!!

nothing can beat unstayed mast

Now we are talking!! 🤩

Nice to see you support our nationale football team 😊 Wonderfull set of sails .. congrats

we have same staysail setup but we have trouble getting enough tension on this setup. winds over 40kn the stay 'bends'

I have a vague recollection that you had a storm sail on your first boat that you never used in 9 years. 🤔

Hi guys, wow she’s starting to look wonderful. Can’t wait to see you know what she’s called to do , I love sailing, but unfortunately I lost my leg above the knee in a truck accident so I can live my dream for you guys. Keep up the good work. Lots of love from Australia

Ready to do a shake down cruise .

Awe, the crispness of unflaking new sails. I love the batton pusher and the design of their pocket closure and the storm staysail anti-torsion furling system. Brilliant, good job, Marcel and DeVries Sails. 👏 Thanks for sharing.

Such a beautifully proportioned boat. Good luck with her!

It is very exciting to see how she is dressed and prepared for her first Sea Trials (and Shakedown?) cruise. Well, vicariously joyful. Congratulations.

Ich freue mich für Sie, Sie haben jetzt eins der besten Boote, was man für Geld kaufen kann. Ich wünsche allzeit gute Fahrt.

is this your first furling main? I don't remember you ever having a furling main sail.

😍
