Qué cubre este vídeo

A family of six lives aboard a 1982 prototype sailboat, which they salvaged from a Florida marina after a hurricane.0:36 The vessel required a six-month refit to become seaworthy, including replacing 23 square feet of deck core and repainting the hull.3:21 The crew operates the boat without an engine, necessitating careful planning around tidal currents when entering ports. During a 14-day passage from Newfoundland to Iceland, the crew navigated through a series of North Atlantic lows, eventually encountering 20-to-30-knot headwinds that required two or three reefs in the main and a storm jib.7:18 The boat’s light, fast hull design creates a rough, slamming motion in heavy seas.7:51 After spending a year in Iceland, the family sailed to the Faroe Islands, timing their arrival to coincide with favorable tidal windows.11:32 Future plans include visiting the Shetland Islands and Norway before wintering in Brittany, France.12:39
