If the words I’ve written, the adventures I have, or the way I live inspires you, donations are always welcome. Funds usually go towards upgrades on “Finch” or other marine projects, but if you’d like something in particular funded, drop me a note! My next big purchase is a properly sized working jib to replace the second hand, used laminate one I currently have, which got me to the end of R2AK but is now on it’s last legs and starting to tear in two places. An upgraded jib means better upwind performance, especially in light air, while retaining the advantages of inside sheeting on a boat like mine: 20 degrees better tacking angles. It also means I’ll have hanks instead of a zipper luff, making for a safer sail change and less flogging. Funding for this upgrade also includes a proper jib car track setup that will allow me to trim the new sail properly.
If you’d like to get something for your money, consider checking out my “Marine Services” page, linked at the top of the page! I offer a wide variety of custom synthetic rigging, and no matter what boat you have, a Dyneema soft shackle or 10 comes in handy!
Or, Canadians can donate via Interac E-Transfer to liam@pareis.ca
Thank you in advance!
