Ouais...faut quand même avoir l'honnêteté de dire que cela fait très longtemps que les voiles ne sont plus en coton. Le Mylar, Kevlar et autres dérivés du pétrole ont remplacé le coton. Ce qui en fait une industrie qui est très loin d'être exemplaire en matière de CO2. Quant aux bateaux de course...c'est encore bien pire! Il serait temps que cette industrie balaie devant sa porte et cesse de proclamer l'écologie!
Tellement de beaux souvenirs avec vous il y a ….presque 20 ans … maintenant a la Réunion, un temps , je découvre ce beau reportage sur le net et ….suis fier de vous !!!! François Commins 👍✨🙏🇷🇪⛰🏝️
to jibe, why wouldn't you just let the wind "toss" it around the outside instead of manually feeding the sheet through the slot between the Code D and the genoa? Of course that would take two sheets.
You are right, it is also possible to pass the spinnaker forward. It is enough to use two plays. Be careful that the counter sheet does not pass under the hull
Looks good! So presumably the tapes on the windward and leeward edges of the sail are stiff (in the perpendicular direction) in order to allow it to furl, right? This is a nice design!
@@pepperrent Merci e grazie! That's exactly what I was thinking with my tape comment. The aramid braid is like a flat, stiff tape that is relatively rigid lengthwise, but rolls easily in the other direction. This is a really good design.
1 or 2 sheets are possible. We wanted to show that a minimum of hardware is necessary to use a Code D. Of course, the use of a second sheet can not go ahead to jibe.
@@philskype101 one sheet or side so that when you gybe, you don't have to unreeve the whole thing, walk to the foredeck, then re-reeve the sheet in the other side.
