Qué cubre este vídeo

Tadeu Cardoso conducts an underway sail-trim and autopilot training session aboard the boat, working through sail adjustments and autopilot operation with another crew member. The session covers how to use the autopilot's course-correction buttons — specifically the minus-1 and minus-10 degree inputs — to execute a gybe (cambada) to port, and explains that pressing both buttons simultaneously commands a 100-degree helm input.4:25 Cardoso demonstrates how to read the sail's leech telltales to judge trim, describes the genoa as heavily sheeted and the sails as balanced, and explains that a well-trimmed, balanced sail plan reduces the load on the autopilot so it works less and holds course more steadily.11:35 He discusses when to engage the autopilot manually versus letting it find its own course, and notes that a properly balanced boat barely needs the helm.7:55 The session takes place offshore, described as alto mar, with the crew preparing for an Atlantic crossing toward the Caribbean.12:07 Balanced sail trim reduces autopilot workload and steering effort on long offshore passages.
