Qué cubre este vídeo

A 22-mile coastal passage in French Polynesia tests the crew of the sailboat Atlas as they navigate 20–29 knots of wind and significant swell.1:24 To mitigate seasickness, the helmsman forces the crew to steer manually, which proves effective for maintaining focus and reducing nausea.9:14 The crew opts for a deep-water reef pass over a shallower alternative to ensure a safer transit in rough conditions.9:54 Following the passage, the crew performs a comprehensive rig inspection in preparation for an upcoming two-week offshore voyage to Tonga.19:46 They climb the mast to verify pins, standing rigging, and the furler, replacing a questionable line attachment with a secure bowline.21:07 The crew monitors a high-pressure system squeezed by a southern low, noting that a 40-knot forecast would necessitate storm tactics, including the use of a storm jib and staysail.23:11 They also attempt to anchor in deep, rocky terrain, ultimately settling in 26 meters of water while monitoring current and depth constraints to protect their windlass.16:48
