What this video covers
A Wharram Pahi 42 catamaran completes a coastal passage along the northern coast of Spain, travelling from the Bay of Biscay to A Coruña. During the transit, the crew encounters light winds and significant swell, which causes the vessel's beams to flex and the sails to flap violently.8:23 To address the structural movement, the skipper tightens the inner beam lashings and inspects the mast and rigging for signs of stress, finding no cracks or loose fittings.10:01 The boat maintains an average speed of 3.6 knots during an 86-mile overnight leg.9:01 The crew navigates around Cape Finisterre while monitoring for potential orca activity in the region.11:32 Upon arrival in A Coruña, the skipper evaluates the costs of long-term marina berthing and considers the challenges of late-season Atlantic sailing, including long nights and unpredictable weather windows.21:07 The vessel performs well in following seas, with the crew noting the stability of the V-hulls in 13-knot winds.17:03
