Qué cubre este vídeo

A Bavaria Yachts 36 crew faces multiple equipment failures while 700 to 1,000 miles from the Azores during an Atlantic crossing.11:48 A lower inner shroud began to part, with one strand visibly broken after sustained 25-knot winds and 3-to-4-meter seas.7:06 To preserve the rig, the crew dropped the mainsail and lashed the damaged shroud with Dyneema and shackles, opting to sail under headsail only to minimize slamming and shock loading.11:11 The vessel also experienced a total failure of the wind instrument system and a worsening engine oil leak that limits the ability to motor through calm patches.8:38 With forecasts consistently failing to provide predicted wind, the boat remains frequently becalmed, forcing the crew to drift to avoid sail-flapping stress on the compromised rig.17:26 The crew prioritizes rig integrity over speed, accepting a loss of 1.5 knots to ensure the mast remains standing for the remainder of the passage.15:43
