Sailing Triteia · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

A solo sailor aboard a 1965 Alberg 30, Triteia, abandons a planned 530-mile coastal passage down the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island after encountering unforecast 20-knot winds and six-foot seas in the Hauraki Gulf.10:19 The sailor initially attempts to reach Kennedy Bay, then pivots to Elephant Cove, before finally seeking refuge in Hooks Bay on Waiheke Island to avoid a dangerous lee shore.7:00 Following the incident, the sailor decides to abandon the east coast route entirely due to the lack of safe anchorages and the exhaustion of solo coastal sailing.16:08 Instead, the vessel will head north to round Cape Rienga for an offshore passage to Nelson, which offers a more predictable sleep schedule and fewer navigational hazards.17:01 The boat subsequently anchors in Bon Accord Harbour on Kawau Island to wait for favorable weather.22:28 The experience highlights the risks of coastal hopping in changeable spring conditions and the necessity of maintaining flexible contingency plans.
