Qué cubre este vídeo
After crossing the Suez Canal and sailing north to Cyprus, the crew of the 17-year-old vessel Zatara experienced a mechanical failure when the electric furler stripped its internal gears under load.15:36 The crew manually lowered the headsail while at sea to prevent further damage.13:23 Upon arrival at Limassol Marina, the crew encountered a dispute over berthing fees; the marina management refused to honor a previously emailed quote of approximately $900 per month, instead demanding nearly $1,000 per week.19:39 Because the Mediterranean spring weather creates unpredictable, high-wind conditions that make anchoring difficult, the crew opted to stay in the marina for one week while awaiting potential parts from Profurl.21:15 The repair requires removing the entire headstay and foil, a project that may cost up to $20,000 if the specific internal gears are no longer available.16:26 The crew plans to sail to Turkey for their next destination, potentially without a functional headsail if parts cannot be sourced.20:41
