North Sails

Chris and Rourke wondering just how this sail is
going to fit in with our already overweight baggage! 

Just before leaving SA we popped in to North Sails to pick up our the new screecher that was ordered for T R I B E.  
We have decided to fit a bowsprit and the screecher to turbocharge our cat into a tiger!

The Schreecher is the perfect sail-power system as it gives you the ability to sail on a close, beam or broad reach in 5 to 10 kits of wind. Our voyage through the Pacific will comprise of much downwind sailing, following the trades, so this will be delightful! 

 A sail loft has such a pleasant feel about it.  The guys at North were very helpful, thanks Joe, Geoff and Rick.

Bowsprit fitted!

Welcome to the blog followers in Lithuania!  Next up, a near disaster awaits our return to T R I B E, landing in Honduras...
