Crew at helm as dolphins surface near sailboat at sunset
What this video covers
A crew sailing from Barcelona towards Gibraltar faces repeated delays due to unfavourable weather and mechanical issues. During an overnight passage from Sitges, the sailors encounter unexpected 30-knot winds while running full sail, forcing a rapid sail reduction and an extended period of hand-steering.▶ 4:39 The transit includes coastal stops at Castellon, where the crew performs maintenance, including an attempt to repair a broken anemometer and a failed throttle cable.▶ 16:03 The crew also experiments with spinnaker deployment and attempts fishing, though they report no success.▶ 15:21 While docked in Castellon, they receive warnings of 14-metre waves near the Balearic Islands, prompting them to delay their departure.▶ 16:03 The video concludes with the crew troubleshooting the disconnected throttle cable, which prevents the engine from shifting or accelerating properly.▶ 17:56
