Paul and Sheryl Shard sail their Anksail Orion 49 from Mindelo, Cape Verde, toward Antigua on a 2,000-mile transatlantic passage.0:42 The crew utilizes a downwind rig consisting of a Genoa and a new jib from Precision Sails, both poled out to maintain balance in 18- to 25-knot trade winds.4:16 During the crossing, the boat encounters 4- to 5-meter following seas, allowing for surfing speeds of 10 to 12 knots.11:33 Technical issues arise when the hybrid drive belt slips, causing a thumping noise; the crew resolves this by tensioning the belt after consulting with a technician via Starlink.5:39 The crew also performs routine deck inspections, checking for chafe and rigging security while tethered in heavy seas.13:04 Despite encountering unexpected lightning squalls on the first night and ongoing transmission shifting difficulties, the vessel maintains a steady pace, occasionally sailing in company with the tall ship Kronos.2:50 Proper belt tensioning is essential for the reliable operation of a hybrid drive system under load.
