Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

The crew of NV, an ex-Vendee Globe Open 60 with a five-meter draft, faces two consecutive low-pressure systems, Cyclone Judy and Cyclone Kevin, while moored in Fiji.0:29 Because the vessel’s deep draft prevents the use of standard cyclone pits or river mangrove moorings, the crew relies on a custom-built cradle system and concrete block anchors to secure the boat.1:39 When Cyclone Kevin shifts its track toward their position, the crew evaluates moving to Denarau Marina, but concerns regarding limited deep-water berths, potential wind exposure at the docks, and a broken gearbox lead them to remain at their current mooring.9:58 To increase safety, they hire a diver to chain their primary anchor directly to the mooring block at the seabed.11:52 After the systems pass with lower-than-predicted wind speeds, the crew successfully retrieves their gear.21:50 The experience highlights the necessity of having a redundant anchoring plan when vessel dimensions preclude standard cyclone-season haul-out options.
