Dutchman and Swimming


We spent most of the morning and part of the afternoon installing and adjusting our Dutchman Sail Flaking System.  It was a tedious task and at times frustrating because everything has to be adjusted just right or the system won't work as well as intended.  Eventually, we got it adjusted to where it seemed to be working well.  We'll find out for sure when we next take the boat out and drop the main sail.  The Dutchman together with the Strong Tides Track System makes dropping and flaking the sail very easy.  To celebrate and cool off after completing this major job, we went swimming in the cold water of the marina's pool.  It was refreshing and we dried while relaxing on the poolside lounge furniture.  We started out reading but were soon napping protected from the sun by trees bordering the pool.  Work hard - Play hard.

Here is a link to a short YouTube video describing the Dutchman Sail Flaking System.
