During an Atlantic crossing, the crew of a cruising sailboat experiences a mainsail failure when the clew rips completely off the sail in light wind.1:08 While motoring toward Horta, the crew discovers an accumulation of saltwater in the bilge and battery compartment.14:22 They systematically test the watermaker, air conditioning, and engine cooling systems for leaks by isolating through-hull valves and using a shower sump pump to clear standing water from internal pockets.15:22 After closing all non-essential through-hull valves and monitoring the bilge for an hour, the water ingress ceases, though the specific source remains unidentified.33:16 The crew continues to motor the final 133 miles to Horta, prioritizing arrival before an incoming weather system.28:09 They conclude that the leak likely originated from a compromised plumbing connection or through-hull fitting, which they plan to investigate further once safely in a marina.33:18
