Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of a sailboat anchored in Spanish Wells, Bahamas, diagnoses a severe loss of engine compression after discovering they can turn the engine over by hand without using the decompression levers.13:39 A manual inspection of the valve clearances reveals they are within specifications, suggesting the compression loss stems from a failed head gasket or valve issue.13:32 Because replacement parts require six to eight weeks for delivery, the owners decide to continue sailing without an engine until they reach the United States for professional repairs.14:28 During the stay, they also replace faulty 30-amp waterproof solar breakers that overheated and disconnected under loads as low as 10 to 15 amps.6:23 The crew prepares to transit Current Cut, planning to time the passage for shortly after high tide to manage the significant tidal flow while relying solely on sail power.17:10
