Qué cubre este vídeo

A solo sailor aboard a high-performance, Kevlar-hulled yacht manages heavy weather conditions by lying a-hull in 40 to 50-knot winds with gusts reaching 60 knots.6:47 The vessel, designed by Bruce Farr, features a monolithic Kevlar composite hull and a deep keel, which the sailor credits for stability in extreme sea states.6:42 With all sails lowered and the mainsail deeply lashed to the boom, the boat drifts at approximately 1.4 knots while the storm system passes.12:46 The sailor emphasizes that the boat’s specific architecture and beam-to-length ratio dictate its motion, rather than active steering.12:36 To manage the psychological stress of the environment, the sailor utilizes noise-canceling ear defenders with Bluetooth pass-through functionality to monitor for mechanical anomalies while blocking out the constant noise of the rig.0:44 The sailor maintains a polyphasic sleep schedule to remain productive and alert during the passage.14:23
