Qué cubre este vídeo
A solo sailor competing in the Golden Globe Race reports a 145-mile day while navigating the North Atlantic off the coast of Western Sahara.5:02:12 After running an asymmetric spinnaker through the night in 10 to 15 knots of wind, the sailor performed a jibe to move further offshore and avoid a lee shore near the African coast.5:02:41 The maneuver involved a spinnaker takedown and a preventer-assisted jibe, during which a low-quality shackle failed, forcing the release of the guy line.5:21:50 The boat currently carries one reef in the mainsail as the sailor monitors Saharan dust and heavy commercial shipping traffic.5:17:08 Navigation relies on celestial observations and dead reckoning, supplemented by position reports from passing vessels.5:17:32 The sailor notes persistent, non-emergency chatter on VHF Channel 16 from nearby traffic and utilizes a shortwave radio station for time checks and news.5:22:33 A seatbelt-style harness secures the sailor in the bunk, replacing the need for lee cloths.5:06:29
