Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 *Suria* discovers a structural failure in their forestay while sailing near Palermo, Sicily.13:27 The roller furling system jammed during a routine sail, preventing the headsail from deploying or retracting.13:27 Upon disassembly, the owner identifies a fracture in the forestay fitting located beneath the furling drum.13:27 Because the damage is hidden by the drum assembly, it remained undetected during a professional rig check performed three years prior.15:11 To stabilize the mast, the crew secures it with the mainsail halyard, spinnaker halyard, and blister halyard, tensioning them to prevent collapse.14:10 They relocate the vessel to Marina Galizzi in Palermo to facilitate repairs, performing their first stern-to mooring.13:08 A local rigger inspects the damage and prepares a quote for a full forestay replacement, which the crew submits to their insurance provider to offset the costs.15:18 The crew notes that the failure likely prevented a catastrophic mast loss at sea.22:09 Regular, invasive inspections of the furling drum assembly are necessary, as standard rig checks often fail to reveal hidden fatigue in forestay fittings.14:32
