Sailing Downwind To Borneo Using Only Genoa and Staysail

7

Location: Borneo
Latitude: 0.96000000
Longitude: 114.55000000
Published: 2 Jul 2026

We leave our wonderful anchorage on the remote island of Pulau Matasirih with the wind directly behind us so we pole out genoa and use our boom to pole out the staysail leaving both the mainsail and mizzen furled away. This sail plan has proved very effective force when sailing deep downwind. To see more and what happened later in the dark of night, watch our full episode 148 - "We Were the First Yachts Ever to Visit This Island... Then Came a Terrifying Night Of Near Misses"
