Building a Spinnaker Sock DIY
Spinnaker Socks are super nice for launching and recovering your spinnaker. My last two boats have had them and after using one the benefits are clear. 1st off, sail handling is much easier especially if you're short-handed. 2nd, safety spinnaker socks let you launch and recover your spinnaker without everything being perfectly packed in a turtle bag another word fewer things to tangle up keeps it safer. Woodstock does not have one so we have not used the Spinnaker yet and our trip to Lake Mac last week would have been the ideal time to use a Spinnaker. So it is time to look into this. $17.00 per foot x 28 ft =$476 plus tax. Hum lets go see what's in the garage. Any past readers remember this old post Boom Tent Well this is one sewing project that didn't work out. However, I still have the material sitting here on a shelf and it is light enough and long enough to make into a sock. Now just to find one of those fancy fiberglass hoops they use to make these things
That is hilarious. Is he in a sailing class yet? Christian Williams' videos of family sailing have about the same level of spontaneity about the harbor! Christian wrote the book "Alone Together," his voyage from Los Angeles to Kaui and return. Well worth viewing on YouTube first and then reading the book, both stand alone in their unique contributions. Plus, he's got a keen wit to sustain the reader.
