Qué cubre este vídeo

A Wharram Pahi 42 catamaran, restored from a wreck over two years, makes a solo passage south along the west coast of Spain through Galicia, bound for a boatyard in Lisbon to prepare for an Atlantic crossing.0:01 The skipper covers anchoring off a weed-covered bottom — 30 meters of chain fouled solid on kelp, taking 22 minutes to retrieve — and sailing off anchor without starting the engines.0:46 Preventer rigging on a catamaran, jibing solo, and tacking difficulties in 20 knots (the boat wouldn't tack and had to jibe instead) all feature.4:01 Solo safety gear gets a detailed rundown: a PLB preferred over an EPIRB for man-overboard scenarios, an elasticated lifeline, a rope-cutting knife, and a Naughty Neck autopilot.6:38 Fishing with a hand line using feathers and a diving lure to catch mackerel is demonstrated.3:26 The skipper navigates Galician rías, weighing the trade-off between sheltered but motor-dependent mussel-farm channels and more exposed but sailable anchorages.4:55 A Spanish Duanas boarding — the third of the year — required insurance documents, passports, and a customs form copy.15:40 The practical lesson: a PLB is the right overboard signaling device for solo sailors because an EPIRB is useless if you're separated from the boat.6:38
