Drascombe Lugger “Lilly Ella” Experiments with Heavy Weather Sail Configurations off Stonehaven

Follow
Steve Porteous

Another "Slow TV" / “Slow Sailing” video!
I went out with my Drascombe Lugger “Lilly Ella” to experiment with various sail configurations in increasing winds. I think I tried just about every combination, with lots of heaving to, tacking, some gybing and a man overboard drill thrown in.
I didn’t show my reefing process but if anybody is interested there is a separate video    • Reefing Drascombe Lugger "Lily Ella" ...
