The sailing vessel Aqualibra completed a 9,000-mile passage from the Panama Canal to Cape Town, South Africa, navigating through the Beagle Channel, around Cape Horn, and across the Southern Ocean.37:31 During the transit, the crew encountered six gale-force weather events and sighted multiple icebergs at 43 degrees south latitude, forcing them to heave-to overnight for safety.41:28 To manage heavy wind conditions, the crew utilized a high-cut Yankee jib and a staysail, which allowed for easier reefing and sail handling compared to a standard 130% Genoa.8:29 The vessel suffered significant electrical failures due to constant moisture, including the loss of an electric winch, the windlass, the radar, a water pump, the Raymarine autopilot, and the cabin heater.40:23 The B&G autopilot remained operational throughout the voyage.40:42 The crew relied on motor-sailing for approximately 5% of the trip, primarily through the doldrums, horse latitudes, and the Beagle Channel.38:01 Heaving-to by backing the sails provides a necessary, controlled method to park a vessel at sea when visibility is compromised by ice or severe weather.31:50
