Web series / DIY and preparation on the sailboat Fuga


Fuga, an aluminium sailboat, is getting ready for a big 3 year cruise which should take them to Polynesia (and back). This time, it is the installation of two reels that the crew tells us.

Nomade Voile continues its preparation for the big start. With a circumnavigation of the world in prospect and sailing in the tumultuous waters of the far south, it is preferable to have a well equipped boat. Nomade Sailing which until then sailed with jibs on snap hooks decided to pass to the furler.

The crew presents the installation of the 2 furlers (genoa and staysail) on their aluminium sailboat. An uncomplicated installation, but one that requires care and rigour. It is indeed a matter of replacing the props. It is therefore necessary to ensure the right length and strength.

Now that the boat is ready, the crew - not to mention the dog! - went to Ireland to warm up all June. And after a few rounds in the water around La Rochelle this summer, it's only in September that the course for the open sea will be set. Make way for the big cruise!
