Qué cubre este vídeo

A 39-foot sailboat transits from Mallorca to Menorca and then toward Sardinia, navigating coastal routes and open-water passages. During the initial leg to Palma de Mallorca, the autopilot fails when the steering wheel mechanism jams against the cockpit floor, requiring manual intervention to clear the obstruction.18:15 The owner upgrades the ground tackle by replacing the existing chain with 80 meters of new chain to improve holding in anchorages.13:52 Throughout the passages, the vessel maintains an average speed of 6 to 7 knots under varying wind conditions, occasionally reaching 25 to 30 degrees of heel in 14 knots of wind.15:40 The route involves navigating around Cape Blanc and Cape de Perutx, with the crew monitoring AIS for ferry traffic between Ibiza and Mallorca.10:59 The journey includes multiple overnight anchorages, including stays near the north coast of Menorca to wait for favorable weather windows before crossing to Sardinia.26:47 Regular maintenance tasks include managing the steering system and monitoring the autopilot's performance during long-distance legs.
