Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Squib, a small sailboat with a wide tacking angle, departs Mangalia, Romania before dawn on a 162-nautical-mile passage to the Bosporus entrance at Poyraz, Turkey — a 36-hour overnight crossing of the Black Sea.4:20 Forecast conditions at departure are NW 4–5 with gusts to Beaufort 6; actual winds reach 33 knots with 2-meter seas off the Bulgarian coast, forcing two reefs and five rolls of genoa furled in.0:01 The new Windpilot wind vane steers throughout, with one crew member always at the helm station to correct for large waves; the new genoa furling system and winches handle sail reduction more easily than the old setup.3:22 Sabina and the skipper trade two-hour watches, both suffering seasickness overnight.16:16 Navionics causes a routing problem — searching "Istanbul" returns restaurants rather than the city itself, though a route to Poyraz eventually loads at 162 miles.3:54 The crew chooses this weather window deliberately, knowing no favorable window exists for the following week and that a delayed departure would mean beating into headwinds for the final 50–60 miles — a poor option given Squib's 100-plus-degree tacking angle.12:25 Conditions ease by late afternoon as depth increases past 50 meters.11:49 The passage ends with Squib transiting under the first Bosporus bridge.24:53
