With the mainsail of Zaraffa in for repairs, the team decided to try one of Kodiak's mainsails as they are sister ships. 

We hopped out of Santee Basin for what we thought was going to be a quick raise of the main to check the size, turned into sending JT up the mast for almost 20 minutes. After fixing the fouled halyard and getting the main up, we dropped it to head back in. Talk about a team effort as that main took 5 of us just to flake on the boom!
