The crew of the 50-foot-plus vessel Nandji - Frothlyfe navigates the waters off Sumatra, Indonesia, while testing the performance of a Hydrovane wind vane on their larger, heavier boat.0:57 After departing Sabang, the crew manages engine maintenance issues before beginning a 600-nautical-mile passage toward Padang.0:21 They time their transit through a narrow passage between islands to coincide with slack tide to avoid strong currents and overfalls.3:46 During the passage, the crew encounters variable weather, including frequent squalls and shifting winds, which necessitates constant sail adjustments and testing of the Hydrovane’s gear settings.8:42 They experiment with sail balance—specifically reefing the mainsail and using a staysail—to prevent the boat from rounding up in gusts and to assist the wind vane in maintaining a steady course.11:58 The crew also identifies a need to waterproof their cockpit dodger due to leaking fabric.10:55 The passage concludes with a 210-nautical-mile leg to a safe anchorage.17:44 Proper sail balance is essential for the effective operation of a wind vane on a heavy displacement vessel.12:37
