What this video covers

The crew of the boat Piteraq maintains second place overall in the Færder regatta by maintaining consistent speed and avoiding windless pockets.0:01 During the leg south toward Store Færder and Doma, the team stayed further out in the fjord, bypassing the light winds that stalled other competitors.1:23 The boat rounded the mark at Bonden among the leaders, despite being challenged by larger vessels shortly before the rounding. The final approach to Bonden required upwind sailing, followed by a spinnaker run for the majority of the subsequent leg.1:08 A tactical error occurred on the stretch toward Rønnbladet when the crew anticipated a southerly wind shift that failed to materialize, forcing multiple jibes to manage the wind shifts.1:39 The crew managed fatigue with two 30-minute sleep intervals in the cockpit throughout the race.2:03 Piteraq remains the smallest boat currently in the harbour.1:54
