Offshore SAILING TIPS - Africa Storms,Tame the Autopilot + Mainsail Battens - Patrick Childress Sailing Videos #38 Sailing around the World, blue water sailing through the Mozambique Channel from Bazaruto to South Africa, avoiding storms and squalls, but still sailing in rough seas and rough weather. Our Old Mainsail dies and we bend on a new main sail. We struggle with a Dangerous Anchorage and leave in a storm..just the weather at sea when we were trying to avoid storms in Africa! Making sailing videos in good and bad weather has just become part of our sailing life on this circumnavigation. Patrick Childress shows how to adjust the autopilot sensitivity, and why he does not put a Mainsail up when sailing with the winds. This is more than a sailing blog...it’s a Sailboat how to channel...Sailboat DIY...showing how to handle rough weather on our yacht, how to sail in general, and Sailing in storms and sailing in heavy weather while you circumnavigate!

Yes...we just could not find chain in SE Asia before we left last year that was of the quality that is tough enough for our demands. Our old, old chain is SSOO at the end of its life. In this very video, you saw the anchorage just before it got dark and started to get VERY bumpy...dangerously bumpy, considering this old chain we have. That’s when we decided we would go NO further with the current chain, and would wait for a drum to be sent to Richards Bay in South Africa before anchoring anywhere again. We have been in contact with Maggi Chain USA for more than a year, and it was time to do it! I can’t tell you how much research I did, and , yes...I think you and we have made a very good decision with Maggi! (Rebecca)
