Lug sail rigging my GIS’s for the second season!!
People have asked me how I rigged my GIS, the lazy jacks and how I secure or attach the blocks to the boom so I decided to make a video showing how to rig it (my setup of course), and how to make simple lazy jacks with just some lines and one shackle (these have proven invaluable on my first season!)
I have made some changes to my lug sail reefing system to make it as quick and reliable as I can. Reefing a lug sail in this way on my Goat Island Skiff is easy and fast enough so that I can do it without the need to drop anchor or going to shore. Quite simple reefing setup, but effective.
The video end up being over 30 minutes long so I split it in two parts!
