Wow, very impressive. You will have numerous sail options for all types of weather. Looking forward to future posts describing your sail option experiences in different weather conditions.

Your rigger is correct in showing you how to secure the head sail for high winds. Wrapping a halyard around the sail as high up as you can wind it around, is a sure way to prevent it from being accidentally deployed and destroyed in a storm. I actually prefer to keep the boat at the dock with it wrapped in this manner.

I can't wait to see her heading for the Bahamas! I always love it when you guys go down there.

Now we are talking!! 🤩

Amazing sails. Some very high quality and all brand new. It’s a beautiful thing!
-
What a great looking sail system with no need to go onto the foredeck to handle your storm sail, very impressive
-
It is very exciting to see how she is dressed and prepared for her first Sea Trials (and Shakedown?) cruise. Well, vicariously joyful. Congratulations.

Your system for the storm jib is clever. Getting the small headsail are low and well aft of the bow is way better than an almost-fully-rolled-up genoa in the sky. We achieve a similar sail plan on Milvina with more traditional technique, and find it works well in heavy weather. On thought on your Genoa. The luff rope enters the groove in the foil at about head height (as does ours) We found that this caused a stress point that caused serious chafe on the sail at the bottom of the groove. Our solution is to have a webbing loop sewn into each side of the sail 10 cm back from the luff. We lace them together with 4mm dyneema to pull the luff forward and relieve the stress at the bottom of the luff groove. Works well.

Most very interesting. I've never worked with these self furling sails. Have always been skeptical.... now going to google more about this storm jib thing....
-
Awe, the crispness of unflaking new sails. I love the batton pusher and the design of their pocket closure and the storm staysail anti-torsion furling system. Brilliant, good job, Marcel and DeVries Sails. 👏 Thanks for sharing.

Great setup. I met the original Orion 49 once in Dunkirk. I was impressed
