Sailing Millennial Falcon · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the Millennial Falcon prepares for an ocean passage from the Caribbean to Bermuda by performing rig maintenance, bulk provisioning, and administrative tasks. To correct a forward bow in the mast, the crew replaces short diamond stay fittings with long-stud Stay-Lok terminals, allowing for proper tensioning and mast alignment.3:32 They also source local fuel and food, noting that bulk-buying non-perishables like flour and beans is more efficient than overstocking.10:56 The crew secures PCR tests for entry requirements and prepares the vessel for sea by stowing the dinghy and outboard, rigging jacklines, and cooking meals in advance.13:58 They emphasize the importance of researching specific hardware requirements before purchasing parts, as incorrect fittings previously hindered their repairs.6:51 The final preparations include sewing interior curtains for the upcoming passage and finalizing water and diesel top-offs.16:51 Proper rig tuning and thorough, pre-passage provisioning significantly reduce the workload and stress during the final days before departure.
