Join the Barefoot Doctors Sailing to see how to hoist an Oxley Levante on a Leopard 50 sailing catamaran.
Here is the newly devoted process to set up a secondary snuffer line for use with spinnakers – specifically the amazing Oxley Levante. This allows you to use the winches at your steering station to pull down the snuffer and sock with winch assistance!!!
This really takes away the anxiety when there are increasing winds or if you are short handed – as all sailing couples are…
This short how to video is specifically aimed at people that have an Oxley and want to learn how to set up this type of secondary snuffer line. It will also be really good for any type of sock based spinnaker snuffing system so check out how easy it is to use and takes away all the anxiety when sailing in increasing winds and when you are short handed…
Once hoisted this sail gives you fast and easy sailing downwind and we commonly sail this heavily laden, world cruising prepared Leopard at 50% of the true wind speed directly downwind and higher percentages when at higher angles! The ease of operation and forgiving nature of the sail makes this ideal for long distance downwind sailing and eliminates the risk of gybing and the stress of sailing deep!!!
For more information and to order your Oxley, contact either Paul Badenhorst on Facebook or WhatsApp (+27 73 510 0081) or Marcos on email marcos@oxleysa.com.
Please share these videos with other Oxley owners to share the great info from Paul!
