Our new sail plan, converting to a cutter. new furlers, new sails etc

We have a lot of videos and Blog posts about our Dyneema Rigging. Here we discuss the ketch sail plan and the evolution from the original 1977 sail plan, through the worn out sails that were on Vida when we bought her, to what we are implementing now and in the future.

Not only have we changed the sail plan, we also have new Crusader sails, new furlers and more.

If you would like to support us then we have memberships or donations on Ko-Fi! at https://ko-fi.com/sustainablesailing/ (apart from a small card processing % we get all your support which is much better value than Patreon who take 20%).

Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags.

We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement starting in Summer 2025. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc). More detail on our blog at https://sustainablesailing.net/
