Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Solo sailing the Bénéteau Océanis 440 *corail* across the North Atlantic, the captain manages light-wind conditions and heavy rolling seas during a return passage. To maintain speed and stability in 8 to 13 knots of wind, he experiments with sail trim, including wing-on-wing configurations and using a whisker pole to stabilize the genoa.21:43 Adjusting the heading by 10 degrees—shifting from a deep downwind angle to a reach—increases boat speed from 5 knots to 7 knots by preventing the sails from lurching and collapsing in the swell.24:09 He coordinates with a professional weather router, sending position, speed, and heading updates every six hours to navigate around light-wind bubbles and potential storms.34:00 Despite these efforts, the boat frequently rolls in the Atlantic swell, complicating sleep and forcing the use of three reefs in the mainsail to reduce motion.31:09 The captain also cleans the cockpit and monitors the autopilot’s performance to ensure it can maintain course during rest periods.3:29 Small adjustments to sail angle and rig tension significantly improve performance in light, inconsistent winds.
