What this video covers
After purchasing a 2017 Jeanneau 54, the owner completed a nine-day refit in a boatyard before sailing the vessel 260 miles from Almerimar to the Real Club Náutico de Castellón.▶ 4:08 Yard work included cleaning the hull, applying antifouling paint, replacing sacrificial anodes, and installing a new head in the bow.▶ 0:58 To avoid an incoming easterly wind, the crew accelerated the departure, completing the 42-hour passage at an average speed of 6.7 knots while encountering winds up to 35 knots.▶ 7:05 The vessel features a large cockpit with all lines led aft, four winches—including one electric—and a single rudder with dual wheels.▶ 12:42 Interior modifications include a new Iridium satellite communicator, a Navtex receiver, a foot-operated water pump in the galley, and textile partitions in the cabins to provide privacy for guests.▶ 8:44 Exterior additions include a radar, a spinnaker pole for downwind sailing, and a 12-person ocean-rated liferaft.▶ 14:10 The owner noted that the boat handles well in heavy conditions but requires a spinnaker pole for efficient downwind performance.▶ 6:22
