Sail Time

Sunday winds were close to zero kts so we took the opportunity to take down the sails. The most difficult part is folding the sails on deck. We read a tip about using Irwin Quick Grip Handi-Clamps (available from Home Depot) to help hold the folded luff of the sails. It worked like a charm as can be seen beneath.

By-the-way, it is said that timing is everything. One hour after taking down the sails for winter it started raining. Fortunately our sails are dry and made it to storage before the rainfall.

Now we just have to motor over to Quincy to Prairie Golds winter home - planned for next weekend. Fingers crossed for another weather window.
