The French Connection

I'm currently in the very slow process of translating my French version of this blog into English. However, if you'd like a preview of what's in store, check out the original French language version. You can click the Google translation menu to get a rough idea of message entries.

At the end of the roll

During the winter, I just wanted to do a few small, quick and easy projects in the warmth of my apartment. Fortunately or unfortunately (all depends one's point of view), winter has arrived in the Savoie and it's cold even under the tarp... It doesn't matter because today I rolled my sails around large PVC tubes for winter storage. Rather than storing them folded in their bags, my new sails will spend their first winter around a tube. Nothing could be simpler and it only costs 12EUR. What a deal!

3 PVC tubes and 2 coupling sleeves 10cm in diameter

The mainsail

OK, it's all wound up
