Qué cubre este vídeo
A Lagoon 410 catamaran, Suria, departs southern Sardinia bound for Almerimar on Spain's mainland coast — a 550-nautical-mile passage sailed non-stop over five days and nights.6:27 Dirk and Rigi skip the Balearic Islands entirely, riding an unusually sustained easterly wind that Windy and Strim both forecast to hold through the week.7:08 Early in the passage, the gennaker furler bracket breaks away from the bowsprit; Dirk had been sitting on the dolphin seat there just two hours earlier.9:19 A container ship approaches on a collision course, fails to respond to repeated VHF calls on two separate radios, and forces a 30-degree starboard turn at the last moment.20:42 Fishing produces a large tuna after a prolonged fight in 2,000 meters of water, requiring Suria to slow to under 3.5 knots to haul it aboard.11:47 An inverter failure diagnosed earlier — loose pins between circuit boards caused by wave motion — is repaired at anchor; the crew notes the inverter powers the watermaker and Starlink, and plans to buy a backup unit.2:58 Suria arrives at Almerimar marina, secures a berth at the catamaran dock, and the crew flies home from Málaga the next morning to renew passports.24:18
