Giuseppe sails Maruzza, a small sloop, solo from the Aegean toward Skiros — the southernmost of the Western Sporades — in forecast Force 6–7 northwesterly conditions, timing his departure to arrive after the predicted wind peak between noon and 3 p.m. The strategy works: he reefs the mainsail early to slow down and hit the time window, then drops the main entirely as wind builds to a solid Force 6, stepping down from jib number 1 to jib number 2 to keep the boat balanced on a broad reach.▶ 0:45 He describes a technical adjustment to the wind vane self-steering — his unit named Giacomo — for heavy air: lowering the vane blade and raising the counterweight shortens the lever arm and stops the vane from shaking.▶ 3:48 A potential collision with another sailboat on port tack resolves without incident, though Giuseppe notes that right-of-way rules mean nothing if the other skipper isn't watching.▶ 5:52 He anchors under sail at Skiros in a pine-backed cove; holding is poor over Posidonia seagrass.▶ 8:55 The passage confirms that a small, well-balanced boat with reliable self-steering can handle Force 6–7 downwind conditions safely when the skipper manages sail area and timing.
