Sailing Good, Bad, and Ugly · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the sailboat Good, Bad, and Ugly sails from Vieques to Culebra without an engine, relying on sail power to navigate the channel and enter the mooring field.1:44 During the transit, the crew maintains speeds of approximately 7 knots in 20 knots of wind.5:32 Maintenance tasks include repairing a chafed furler line on the headsail, sewing a repair on a Highfield dinghy bench seat bag, and re-gluing dinghy footboards with epoxy.3:27 The owner also investigates a 30% increase in solar power output after splicing an additional 130-watt panel into the existing solar array, theorizing that improved wiring or better airflow beneath the panels may be responsible for the efficiency gains.17:24 Despite the lack of an engine, the crew decides to depart Puerto Rico and attempt a passage to the U.S. Virgin Islands, citing the need to manage travel logistics and customs requirements before eventually returning to Puerto Rico for an engine installation.20:21
