Qué cubre este vídeo
A 19-hour overnight passage from Cromarty to Peterhead, Scotland, covers approximately 85 nautical miles in light, variable winds.1:11 The crew maintains a steady 5-knot average by switching from a goose-winged genoa and mainsail to an asymmetrical spinnaker when wind speeds drop below 10 knots.5:27 To manage the light air and avoid engine use, the crew keeps the spinnaker flying through the night, monitoring for squalls via radar.8:42 As they approach Fraserburgh, increasing winds to 15 knots necessitate dropping the spinnaker and returning to a main and poled-out genoa to prevent gear damage.16:36 The final approach to Peterhead involves navigating around numerous crab pots and timing the arrival to coincide with a favorable tide.18:51 Upon entering the harbor, the crew encounters significant swell near the breakwater before securing the vessel in the Peterhead Marina.19:31 The crew also replaces a brittle plastic GoPro rail mount with a stainless steel version to prevent camera loss.23:10
