Qué cubre este vídeo

Pablo Berrus, preparing a solo circumnavigation, walks through the diesel fuel strategy for his sailboat on day 15 of his preparation. The engine is a Yanmar rated at 39 horsepower, burning 4.5 liters per hour.0:15 The main tank holds 200 liters, giving roughly 40 hours of motoring; an additional 150 liters carried in jerry cans adds 30 more hours, for a total motoring range of about 80 hours.0:29 With the Atlantic crossing running approximately 3,000 miles and the Indian and Pacific oceans each around 6,000 miles, that fuel supply covers only a small fraction of the total distance.0:45 Berrus plans to sail as much as possible and motor only in rare circumstances — if wind dies completely, he will drop the sails and rest rather than run the engine.0:45 He also plans to have mechanic friends come aboard to give him a mechanical refresher before departure.1:11
