Departing Portimao, Portugal, on a 650-nautical-mile passage to the Canary Islands aboard the Sunreef 62 catamaran Supernova, Yvette and Darcy begin the first leg of an Atlantic crossing with Yvette's father as crew.0:07 Light, variable winds in the 5–7-knot range produce heavy beam swell and mainsail flogging early on, forcing them to drop the sail.3:19 Wind later builds to 15–20 knots, and when Yvette raises the mainsail with the second reef in using the power winch, the sail splits along the reinforced sewing line of that reef — a mistake Yvette attributes to over-tensioning with the power winch while the reef was already set.25:53 The sailmaker in the Canary Islands inspects the sail, confirms the fabric is still structurally sound, and takes it for repair.52:40 A clogged fuel filter from a dirty day tank prompts installation of a larger-capacity filter to prevent recurrence.38:34 Marina costs in the Canary Islands run 211 euros per week for a 10-meter-wide catamaran with power and water.1:04:43 The crew plans to use the unplanned layover for painting topsides and sugar scoops, awaiting the repaired mainsail and a roller-furling part before targeting the first available weather window for the Atlantic crossing.1:05:55 Raising a mainsail with a reef already in using a power winch risks tearing the sail along its reinforced reef points.1:02:24
