Qué cubre este vídeo
On day 11 of an Atlantic crossing from La Palma to Martinique, the crew navigates the North Atlantic Ocean in 20-knot winds. The vessel sails under a single headsail, specifically a genoa, to manage the motion of the boat and compensate for an unreliable autopilot. The autopilot struggles to maintain a steady course in the current sea state, causing the boat to veer and perform "S" turns. The crew previously attempted to sail with the mainsail in a wing-on-wing configuration, but the excessive rolling and the autopilot's inability to handle the movement forced them to strike the main. Despite the current conditions, the crew anticipates larger swells beginning Wednesday. The passage continues toward the Caribbean with the crew reporting minimal wildlife sightings, noting only a single bird encounter.
