Any boat that goes offshore needs to carry storm sails, but more importantly, the crew needs to have practiced using them ahead of time. With the wind howling, you don’t want to be looking at the storm trysail for the very first time. You want to know that the tack line was pre-marked and you need to know that there is at least one sheet permanently attached to the clew. The same with the storm jib, you want to know that sheets are attached and you know where the leads go.
The UK-Halsey´s latest Safety at Sea video shows you how to use storm sails and encourages you to go out and sail with them in moderate conditions so that you’ll be ready for the blow that will cross your course one day. This is the fifth Safety at Sea Video posted on the UK-Halsey web site – all can be viewed for free. The first three videos are about the Quick Stop Man Overboard Recovery and the fourth video shows the correct way to deploy and right a life raft. Our next video will cover how to service an inflatable PDF. Click here to be safe.
