Check how you furl your Hyde sails
« on: 13 Aug 2015, 15:24 »
This is probably blindingly obvious to most of you but the now standard Hyde mizzen and jib sails come with a UV sacrificial strip.  This means that it matters which way around you furl them.  On my BR20, it should be clockwise on the jib and anti-clockwise on the mizzen.  A sailmaker pointed out that I had been doing it the wrong way round.  I previously had Dolphin sails and as they didn't have UV strips, it didn't matter which way around they were furled.
