What this video covers

A 53-foot, two-masted schooner named Beijupirá, built in 2005 to a Bruce Roberts 532 design in epoxy-sheathed wood, is the subject of this profile.Watch Owner Cláudio explains that splitting the sail plan across two masts reduces each individual sail to roughly the equivalent of a 36-foot rig, making it manageable for single-handed sailing.0:35 All three headsails — two staysails and the main — are self-tacking; the only demanding maneuver is tacking the large genoa, which must be rolled up and passed through the gap between the staysails on each tack.1:43 The boat carries 1,000 liters of water, 1,000 liters of diesel, and six berths.2:12 Crewmate Priscila describes how she and Cláudio divided boat duties — he handles sailing and cooking, she handles cleaning — and how a running joke about her only contribution being to "serve the peanuts" pushed her to take cooking seriously aboard.3:15 The couple met in Florianópolis when Cláudio stopped his car to talk to Priscila while she was running at Lagoa da Conceição.5:13
