Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of SV Cordelia, a 1,500-nautical-mile passage from St Martin to the Rio Dolce in Guatemala, performs an emergency headsail change in the middle of the night off the southeast coast of Puerto Rico.15:12 The original headsail rips at the clew ring, leaving only the leech line intact.9:57 Because the vessel’s headsail setup lacks a halyard at the mast—using instead an internal halyard that locks into a tensioning track—the crew must attach an additional halyard to the internal line to lower the damaged sail.6:44 Working in darkness, the crew spends 90 minutes gathering the torn sail, retrieving a replacement from the pilot berth, and feeding the new sail into the foil.14:36 The replacement sail is larger and in fair condition, allowing the vessel to resume sailing before expected winds increase.15:23
