Qué cubre este vídeo

Pablo Berrus completes a 23-day solo transatlantic passage from Lanzarote to Antigua, covering approximately 3,000 miles.32:36 The route initially heads south toward Cabo Verde to avoid a low-pressure system before turning west to pick up the trade winds.0:11 During the crossing, the boat experiences extended periods of calm, requiring motor-sailing, followed by squally conditions with wind gusts reaching 26 knots.18:49 Technical challenges include sail chafing against the spreaders, which forces the skipper to sail with a reefed mainsail or only the genoa to prevent further damage.17:11 The skipper manages the boat using a wind vane self-steering system, TimeZero for navigation, and PredictWind for weather routing.9:22 Maneuvers include gybing to adjust the course and deploying a whisker pole for downwind sailing.7:58 The passage concludes with a final approach into English Harbour, Antigua, after navigating through variable winds and frequent tropical squalls.30:56 Constant sail adjustments during the final nights, alternating between full sail and reefs, highlight the difficulty of maintaining consistent speed in unstable trade wind conditions.29:55
