Splicing backstays today and figured I’d film the whole process 👇
If you’ve ever wondered how this stuff actually works behind the scenes on a race boat – or you’re a sailor who’s been quoted a stupid amount of money for a rigger to do it – this one’s for you.
Part 1 is the setup. Parts 2 and 3 are coming next 👀

I’m attempting to become the first Zimbabwean – and the first person from an African landlocked nation – to sail solo, non-stop, around the world in the Global Solo Challenge 2027 (@globalsolochallenge). Comment ZIMBO below if you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities or would like to donate to the cause – every contribution goes directly towards getting Shamwari to that start line 🇿🇼⛵
