Qué cubre este vídeo

The home-built gaff-rigged vessel Rediviva travels north through the Sea of Cortez, buddy-boating with the sailboat Spy.3:02 The crew navigates light southerly winds, maintaining speeds between 3 and 3.5 knots while sailing wing-on-wing.10:30 To manage the gaff rig in these conditions, the helmsman adjusts the heading to keep the Yankee sail full without jibing the main.7:50 The crew uses Starlink to monitor weather forecasts, which prompts a mid-passage decision to divert to a more protected anchorage than originally planned due to the wind direction.14:39 The vessel’s current sail inventory consists of four heavy canvas sails, but the owners plan a mini refit to include light-wind sails like a Code Zero and a mizzen staysail to improve performance.9:35 The crew maintains the wooden decks by wetting them frequently to prevent damage from the intense Mexican sun.12:49
