Episode 7 | Dufour 31 project | The first sail after 7 months!

Hi Guys,

Welcome to my 1978 Dufour 31 (10m) project. I have traded this for my Sturgeon 22 ft (my first sailboat). This Dufour has been neglected for several years (4?) It's insanely dirty, disassembled, and not in her best shape. In the coming months, I'm going to bring her life back. I'm not a sailor, and I don't have much boat experience, so come with me on the adventure to see the progress. The goal is to be ready in the summer of 2023. I'll cover all kinds of various topics, to gain and share my knowledge and experiences.

In this video:
I am installing the Genua 1 sail with a friend. After installing he told me to do the very first small sail, and we did. It's good to get a push in the back sometimes. It's also great to realize that after 7 months of hard work, you sail on your OWN boat! Actually a surrealistic feeling.
