How to Retrofit a Bowsprit for A-Sails

For racing or cruising owning a nice inventory of a-sails is a great way to improve performance, and ease sail handling.

On my last two boats when I was looking for a sprit, I did the rough design work and then ran the numbers. Since we are all on a budget, it made more sense to buy one that was easy to install, and the tooling was built. So both times I went with TroGear and am happy I did. Their product is well designed, works well, and is a piece of cake to install. I do recommend you go up one or two sizes for a better factor of safety.

So here you go, four videos on how to install, how to rig, small modification that help make it easy to use, and some deck modifications that help shorthanded sailing.

Enjoy, and if you are ever looking for a project manager, video productions, photography, or consultant, go to the contact page and let’s talk.

All videos I show in my post are filmed, edited, and produced by Paul Cronin Studios. Oh, and me on camera.

Have Fun Every Day, See you soon, Paul
