Short Morning Sail on the Cape Fear | Catalina 25

% 5

It was a short morning sail on the Cape Fear River on our Catalina 25. The light winds, along with the favorable current, pushed us down the river until we made the turn at Southport and headed towards Bald Head Island. Through the rest of the sail the winds picked up to steady mid-teens. While it was one of our shortest sails at right at 2-hours, it was really a great day on the water and we had time to pick up lunch and run our errands!

Looks like a nice short sail. I was curious how do you keep your boom where it is?

Not sure exactly how to answer...or what you want to know. So, I'll answer and see if it hits the mark. I'm assuming you mean keep it raised up since Catalina 25's have lower booms. When at the dock, I have a Davis Sail Lock inserted in the mast track that keeps it raised up in position. Once the mainsail is raised...the mainsail holds it up/supports the boom. Since we value our comfort, and the shade from the bimini, we keep a reef in the mainsail so it is shorter and therefore high enough to tack over without hitting the bimini.

@@sailingdiscipleship6295 thank you for understanding my vague question. Mine is held up with a screw in the middle of the sail track. I wanted to what the right way is, thanks for sharing here and you videos in general
