The owners of a catamaran report a progressive mechanical failure in the port-side saildrive, which increasingly fails to engage in reverse gear without high engine RPMs.13:06 The crew suspects a worn clutch cone or internal transmission issue and plans to address the repair upon arrival in Sainte-Anne.13:52 During a passage from Antigua to Guadeloupe, the vessel also experiences hydraulic steering system leaks at the three-way valves and fittings.23:03 This fluid loss, exacerbated by rudder play in heavy swell, introduces air into the hydraulic circuit and causes the wheel calibration to drift, requiring frequent recalibration.23:35
During the transit, the crew maintains a two-reef mainsail and full genoa configuration in 10–14 knots of wind, occasionally using one engine for speed.18:53 They encounter a pod of pilot whales in the middle of the channel and navigate through rain squalls by visually monitoring the weather and using the onboard radar.26:47 The crew emphasizes the importance of checking anchor placement and chain pathing over coral heads to prevent damage to the reef and potential fouling of the ground tackle.9:29
