Sail cleaning and drying rig.

After a good days sail, I always rinse and dry the sail. However, I can't leave the boat in the driveway, while I wait for the sail to dry. So I set up a rig in the back yard, using conduit concreted in the ground. Simple but effective.

Nice idea.

Absolutely brilliant! I would love to replicate this! Would you share your materials list? Is it just a section 6" of pvc in some sack-crete?

i like this!!
very nice work.

Yes. very simple. 2.5 inch pvc pipe with a end cap on the bottom. At the top I added a coupling to widen the top slightly so it would fit all the way in.

Cool weather vane! Does it come in RED?

I think this is good time to mention that if you folks are putting your sails away for the off-season, it's a good idea to loosen the downhaul line prior to storage. And the battens too. It's standard practice on other sailboats and might extend the life of your sail.

If you are one of those CRAZY Canadians who sails ALL year long, please disregard.

... until they realize the rotational speed of our mother ship has increased 0.00000001 seconds per revolution. Now all the clocks are wrong

However, if you set one in your yard, we can correct for that…
