Jakob Lang, attempting a solo circumnavigation, encounters a severe weather front in the English Channel while sailing his vessel, Wolf. During the passage, a squall brings lightning, heavy rain, and a 180-degree wind shift, forcing the boat to heave to while navigating near cargo traffic with a compromised AIS signal.9:28 As winds increase to 35–40 knots, the furling line on the headsail detaches, causing the 29-square-meter Genoa to unfurl and flog violently.13:14 Lang manually furls the sail on the foredeck before switching to a storm jib.13:22 Due to the damaged furler, adverse tides, and heavy seas, he diverts to Fécamp, France.13:55 Inspection reveals the furler’s retaining screw stripped through the plastic housing; he repairs the unit by securing the furling line with a knot.16:44 The experience highlights the necessity of manual sail-handling systems and the risks of relying on unmapped wind farm hazards and electronic navigation aids during sudden weather shifts.
