Qué cubre este vídeo
After a two-month refit in Suva, Fiji, the crew of the Sailing Brothers departs for a coastal passage toward Kuvu Bay.▶ 1:13 During the transit, the boat reaches speeds of 7 knots under sail, a significant improvement attributed to a clean hull.▶ 3:02 However, the crew continues to struggle with persistent mechanical issues, specifically a recurring oil leak in the engine bay and a loud, worsening whirring noise originating from the sail drive.▶ 9:13 After attempting to isolate the source of the noise by removing the propeller and running the drive leg independently, they conclude the sound persists, suggesting an internal gearbox issue rather than a propeller fault.▶ 20:17 The crew also notes a minor exhaust elbow leak, which they plan to address with exhaust paste at their next stop.▶ 21:54 The passage includes navigating reef cuts and anchoring in varied conditions, ranging from rocky, uncomfortable bottoms to protected bays near Kuvu.▶ 13:12
