See those black rectangles along the leech of the headsail? Those are spreader patches. This is Victoria local, Dmitriy's Beneteau First 40.7 with #PrecisionSails Headsail and Mainsail made from Contender Sailcloth Zig-Zag Polyester Laminate Cloth! A spreader patch is a sacrificial strip of Insignia cloth which is used to protect sections of your sail from chafing caused by spreaders or other sharp objects when pressed up against the sail. To prolong the life of your sails yo...u should install your spreader patches and monitor them to identify when to replace them to prevent damaging the sail underneath. Read how to, where to, and why you would install spreader patches with the link below: https://www.precisionsailloft.com//how-to-install-spreade/ #beneteau #beneteaufirst #headsail #mainsail #sail #sailing #new #sea #boat #sailboat #ocean #boating #yacht #instasailing #adventure #explore #boatlife #wind #sailingtime #sailing #sailingday #cruising #victoriabc #sailinglifestyle

Here's another Tim Griffith post, the double amputee veteran, who plans to sail across the world. We've gathered a little bit more information about Tim as well as his inspiration behind the Tigger graphic The doctors told him, in 1986, "you will be doing fantastic if you can get out of your chair and grab a cup of tea, a couple years later, he became first British double amputee to run a mile at the amputee games.... In 1993 he climbed Mt.Blanc and has done it four times since. Tim wants to change the way able bodied people look at disabled people and change the way disabled, look at themselves. Tim hopes to one day win a sailor of the year award. Tigger the symbolism of the Tigger is from his daughter's nickname 'Tiggy' You can visit his website here: https://www.sailblogs.com/member/tiggersworld/451674/ #precisionsails #sail #sailing #new #boat #sailboat #greece #Jeanneau #boating #yacht #instasailing #adventure #explore #boatlife #wind #sailingtime #cruising #precisionsails #spinnaker #asymmetric #tigger #sailgraphic #spinnaker

This is Tim Griffith's Jeanneau S043DS, Tigger. Tim is a double amputee veteran who is now retired and plans to sail over 66,000 miles across the world. WOW, what an adventure! He sent us these pictures of his boat in Greece. This is what he said: "I got 13.2 knots out of just my Asymmetric boat! Wind was 37.5 knots, GPS speed over ground was 10.6 knots. Motor off lol."...

Another picture of Owens 1986 J/40, Event Horizon, with matching #precisionsails. It looks like they're moving fast. It must have something to do with the sails . The J/40 was the first blue-water offshore cruising boat built by J/Boats. It also has had success in off-shore racing events! It was first built in 1984 and had production end in 1994. ... #jboat #j40 #sail #sailing #new #boat #sailboat #boating #yacht #instasailing #adventure #explore #boatlife #wind #sailingtime #sailing #sailingday #cruising #sailinglife

Sailor Owen, from Massachusetts, has a beautiful set of matching #precisionsails on his 1986 J40, Event Horizon. He also left a review of his experience with precision sails on our site! check it out with the following link: https://www.precisionsailloft.com//testimonial-owen-harren/... Both of Owens sails are made from Contenders ZigZag black polyester laminate. He chose ZZ-P 13 for the headsail and ZZ-P 19 for this mainsail, these are the heaviest weight cloths with 12,500, and 18,500 DPI respectively. (DPI - stands for Denier per inch.) Swipe right to see close ups of the sail material. Denier is the the weight of a very long, singular sail cloth fiber. The smaller this number is the finer the fabric is, the higher the number the more strong and long lasting it is. Denier-Per-Inch is the fabrics weight and strength, described as the numbers of fibers over an inch. Tri-Radial laminate sails made from Contender's ZZP cloth is a durable and economical option for many boats and one design classes that restrict the use of higher modulus fibers. #jboat #j40 #sail #sailing #new #boat #sailboat #boating #yacht #instasailing #adventure #explore #boatlife #wind #sailingtime #sailing #sailingday #cruising #precisionsails #sailinglife
