Qué cubre este vídeo

The Beneteau 57 *Vanishing Point* makes an overnight passage from Los Angeles to San Diego's Shelter Island to have the rig tuned after backstays were removed during a heavy-lift cargo ship transport from Brisbane, Australia — work no Los Angeles rigger would take on.1:15 Chris and Karmen sail with Captain Mark from Keel Draggr.2:10 Departing at night, the crew navigates around three offshore oil rigs, cuts the corner of the northbound shipping lane, then loses wind and motors the final stretch at eight knots, arriving at dawn with a whale sighting off Point Loma and dolphins at the channel entrance.5:21 Rigworks at Shelter Island performs the rig inspection and tuning; Chris recommends them as responsive, punctual, and professional.10:30 The return passage to LA involves maneuvering around bunkering tankers near San Clemente Island, eventually sailing with the motor off at seven to eight knots in 15–16 knots of true wind at 60 degrees apparent in choppy, wind-driven seas, arriving at LA Harbor just before dark.20:55 Fleet Week in LA produces an aircraft carrier sighting at the marina entrance on departure.2:51
