Sailing la Vagabonde Presents: How to Hoist a Mainsail
Elayna, Riley and their baby Lenny have been sailing around the world on their floating home for five years exploring the world of sailing while sharing their stories online. Back in 2018 they shared super helpful ‘How to’ videos of things they had to learn while living onboard.
Hoisting the mainsail is a fairly easy task, but there are certainly right and wrong ways to be doing it. In this video Elayna and Riley show you some of the problems that can occur whilst you are trying to hoist a mainsail, and they outline the steps involved in order to have a hassle-free hoist.
They also show you how to hoist the main to a reef so that you can have the correct amount of sail up for the conditions that you expect.
Watch the first lesson below and stay tuned for more as we continue to share:
