This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Storm Trysail



Steve Hartley visited Pachuca at 0700 today and we hoisted the new storm trysail. The system worked out OK: the boom clears the cockpit dodger (will rest on a staunchon supported by the lazy jacks and topping lift), and I know how to set up the sheets. I have written up a step-by-step procedure for setting it up.

Steve also set up some straps to make reefing easier and took away the stack pack to for modifications.

Attached are two photos. Note the placement of the boom.
