Qué cubre este vídeo
Doodles, a cruising sailboat, undergoes a series of maintenance projects in St. Augustine, Florida, before a 150-mile passage to Fort Pierce. The crew installs a new Highfield center console on their dinghy, though they discover the existing outboard motor is incompatible with the new remote steering and throttle setup, necessitating a replacement.8:39 While docked, the boat’s inverter-charger trips the marina’s GFI, forcing the crew to rely on their 1,600-watt solar array for power.11:07 After a four-day weather delay, the vessel completes the 22-hour coastal transit to Fort Pierce in light winds and residual swell.14:18 Upon arrival, the owner plans to remove the unused staysail and boom to clear deck space, intending to relocate the dinghy storage to the deck and repurpose the stern davits into a dedicated solar rack.18:15 The autopilot, which previously failed in cold weather, functions correctly during the passage, though a spare unit remains on standby.13:43
