The crew of the 40-ft sailboat Zephyr experiences a total engine starting failure in Marsh Harbour, The Bahamas, caused by a dead starter battery.4:52 With the engine unable to turn over, the crew decides to sail off their anchor for the first time to reach a supplier.5:37 They successfully maneuver the boat away from nearby vessels using only the mainsail and headsail, navigating in 10 to 15 knots of wind.10:42 Upon reaching a new anchorage, they perform their first anchor drop under sail, using the mainsail to provide enough drag to set the hook.13:39 After purchasing a replacement battery with 840 cold-cranking amps, they encounter a terminal mismatch between the new battery’s post-style connectors and their existing clamp-on cables.14:17 They resolve this by installing universal terminal adapters.15:44 Monitoring the system via the Victron app, they confirm the new battery holds a charge and successfully restarts the engine.16:44 The experience demonstrates that sailing off an anchor requires careful timing of the boat's yaw to avoid nearby vessels.
