Qué cubre este vídeo
A 1989 CT56 sailing as part of the Salty Dog Flotilla maintains an average speed of eight knots during a 1,500-mile passage.1:18 The crew utilizes an Iridium Go satellite system to download weather files and receive daily briefings from meteorologist Chris Parker.1:49 While sailing downwind in 15 to 17 knots of wind, the crew deploys a spinnaker but strikes the sail when radar indicates an approaching line of squalls.3:16 The vessel encounters 23 to 24 knots of wind and seven- to eight-foot swells, forcing the crew to reef the genoa and sail with the mizzen to maintain stability.7:12 The passage involves managing fatigue during rotating three-hour night watches and securing the interior cabin against movement caused by heavy swells.7:51 The crew relies on the Iridium Go for data despite slow transfer speeds of 15 kilobits per second.2:25
