Sailing Nandji - Frothlyfe · video

What this video covers

The crew of the Nandji - Frothlyfe sails through Southeast Asia, navigating coastal waters while following historical tracks recorded on their chart plotter by the vessel's previous owner.7:10 During a passage with light winds, the crew deploys an asymmetrical spinnaker to maintain speeds of five to six knots.14:38 When a nearby fishing boat forces a sudden course change, the increased load on the sail causes a block to explode and a shackle to fail.19:52 The crew manages the sail with a makeshift preventer system rigged with a rope to the boom and uses a bead-line system on the tack to reduce chafe and sway.10:31 As daylight fades and a strong head current slows progress to three knots, they motor the final miles into an unfamiliar anchorage.21:00 Maintenance tasks on the boat include scraping excess caulking from the teak deck in preparation for sanding and re-caulking.8:23
