Qué cubre este vídeo

The owner of the Alberg 30 *Tritea* attempts a 19-mile coastal passage in Phuket, Thailand, to reach a boatyard for a haul-out and rudder repair.3:28 The vessel relies on a small Honda outboard engine due to a non-functional primary engine.2:19 After departing during an ebb tide, the boat encounters a strong adverse current and light winds, resulting in zero headway despite the outboard running.14:35 The owner abandons the attempt to reach the northern marina and instead anchors in a closer, protected bay to wait for a favorable flood tide.14:16 The passage serves as a test for a newly installed Pelagic autopilot, which remains in use during the short transit.7:47 Future plans include replacing the rudder with custom stainless steel parts from Raleigh Tasker and sourcing a replacement marine engine, with options including Beta Marine or Nanni.4:23 The owner intends to complete the haul-out and engine replacement before the April monsoon season to facilitate an Indian Ocean crossing.6:31
