Tech Talk

This is a bit personal. Everybody who sails the English Channel and further afield should have one. Storm Sails are proper safety equipment, like flares and life rafts. When it’s cold, wet and windy and getting a long way from home and you’re on your last reef, proper storm sails seem very cheap at that time.
