Qué cubre este vídeo

A couple sailing the Pacific Ocean aboard their 80s-era sailboat, Kiana, encounters a series of equipment failures while navigating toward the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).0:05 While attempting to douse a Code D sail in 22-knot winds, the crew discovers the halyard has wrapped around the Genoa stay, causing the sail to flog aggressively and blister the owner's hands.8:43 They eventually drop the sail to the deck after the furler pin pops out.11:08 Simultaneously, a spilled coffee triggers a continuous alarm on the propane sensor, which controls the galley solenoid and prevents stove use.13:22 The crew temporarily silences the alarm by stuffing the control unit with foam and tape, opting to delay a permanent repair until they clear the squalls.14:49 Using PredictWind, the sailors monitor weather models to identify a narrow crossing point through the doldrums near 10 degrees north, 120 degrees west.2:18 They conclude that the Code D requires furling well before winds exceed 20 knots to prevent similar handling hazards.12:29
