Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

A 40-knot squall hits the 45-foot catamaran Catalpa while sailing wing-on-wing, causing the genoa sheet to wrap around and melt onto the propeller shaft.2:40 The crew struggles to maintain control in the high winds and heavy seas before eventually dropping anchor to clear the fouled prop.6:55 Because the line is melted tight, the captain and crew use scuba gear and a pry tool to cut the rope away from the shaft underwater.7:47 During the subsequent passage toward Bali, the crew navigates without radar, relying on AIS to track shipping traffic.5:36 They encounter a tugboat towing a load with a submerged cable, noting the danger of crossing between the two vessels at night when the tow line is invisible.19:10 To manage heavy weather, the crew adopts a policy of reefing early, maintaining a triple-reefed main and minimal headsail during night watches to avoid sudden, high-wind surprises.5:20
