A couple sailing a new boat off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, struggles with harbor departure maneuvers and anchor windlass operation. During a 30-mile coastal transit in 15-knot winds and 1.5-meter seas, the crew experiences difficulty managing the genoa and adjusting the lead cars under load.7:12 Upon reaching an anchorage near an uninhabited island, they fail to deploy the anchor initially because they neglect to activate the "Windlass" switch on the electrical panel, confusing it with the "Anchor" label.13:02 After troubleshooting the power supply, they successfully anchor in 8 to 9 meters of water.11:44 The host uses a dinghy to travel 2.5 miles to explore the island’s abandoned lighthouse, navigating through rough open-water swells.14:54 The crew notes that the local marina charges 70 euros per night during the off-season, prompting them to anchor out instead.9:31 The experience highlights the importance of understanding specific electrical panel labeling for deck equipment and the necessity of adjusting lead cars before applying sail pressure.
