New Ropes, Battery Changes and Modified Mainsail on my Budget Raceboat - SJ320

With only one reefing point on the best mainsail I have some mods were needed to get a second and third reef installed. Huge thanks to Dolphin sails for the help in retrofitting reefing points in super quick time. I also swap out a bunch of tatty Halyards, Sheets and Guys with new lines from Kingfisher Ropes and talk about my rope selection based on use. Lastly I carry out a temporary modification to the battery system on my project Race Boat to give me a bit more usable battery capacity and improve the safety of the electrical system. I’m thirsty after all that talking, buy me a beer?…. https://www.paypal.me/RefitAndSail If you have enjoyed this video and/or learned something you can buy me a beer using the link above to make a donation to the channel.

I'm mostly in the central Solent area of the UK. Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged I like to think that I bring a great deal of real-world experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their boats. When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some own-boat sail training, help owners with deliveries, provide pre-purchase inspections and deliver consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing.
