I'm confused, why couldn't you furl the jib?
@ZiggyLavengood 2 күн бұрын
the furling line comes to the end eventually. when the wind is high the sail furls up tighter taking in less sail.per revolution. the furling line only turns the drum so far leaving the leftover sail hanging out in the wind i replaced that furler drum after that with a continuous loop furler. it will spin the drum endlessly until all the sail is rolled up.

usb ports and saltwater... not a good mix.if you have a usb cord laying on deck with nothing plugged into it just a drop of salt water will turn it into a mini welder. I've had a cord burn into the plastic deck more than once.

They flex when you get going. I've bent them a little a cpl of times too. Once being pushed up on shore by high winds and once hitting a dock post. That's how they were designed . We were on the radio with the Coast Guard for a while searching for Marcus. The fisherman didn't think of notifying anyone he was found.

I am very glad to see that you are safe with only some property damage. We also went through the storm and the days without electric power. Backyard generators helped some for refrigeration, lights, fans and WiFi. As I suspected, my internet supplier has their own generators and all we had to do was supply local power to our WiFi box. Having a battery and an inverter for the WiFi really helped before I was able to start the small generator. Advance planning for a day without power for air conditioning was a mistake. One of our neighbors, with many contractors in the family, brought in a job site generator and connected it to their air conditioner circuit. They didn't even open their windows for days. With our open windows we could hear it all night.
@ZiggyLavengood Ай бұрын
After the 1st 12 hours without power i fired up our generator to run our freezer, fridge, tv and 1 lamp. It was quiet enough it couldn't be heard outside our yard. I was surprised how quiet the neighborhood was compared to Harvey when the Drone of generators was constant. When i went to the cabin i chose to not run the gen i brought with me as to not burden my neighbors with the noise as we all had our windows open to sleep in the 90 dgr heat. Watching everyone come together to clear downed trees and debris was inspiring. Glad it all worked out for you too.
