Qué cubre este vídeo

A restored Polynesian double canoe completes a 600-mile passage from Normandy to Roscoff, Brittany, navigating high-current tidal races near Cap de la Hague and the Channel Islands.▶ 26:57 The vessel, which previously suffered engine failures, relies on its repaired motors to maintain steerage through strong tidal streams and standing waves.▶ 6:47 During the transit, the crew manages navigation around dense lobster pot fields and floating fishing nets while timing passages to hit slack water at major headlands.▶ 23:35 Upon arrival in Roscoff, the skipper reports significant hull fouling and plans to beach the boat to apply new antifouling paint.▶ 26:37 The transit includes a stop at the island of Sark, where the crew anchors and fishes for sea bass and bream.▶ 14:51 The final approach to the Roscoff marina occurs at night during a spring tide, requiring the crew to maneuver against strong currents while avoiding a departing ferry.▶ 24:02 The skipper notes that Navionics tracking confirmed the difficulty of maintaining position in the marina entrance.▶ 27:22
