Qué cubre este vídeo

Polaris, a Bavaria Cruiser 46, is wintering in Olderhamna Boathavn in Finnsnes, Norway, at 69 degrees north.0:21 The crew manages sub-zero temperatures, reaching a low of minus 17 degrees Celsius, by using a hydronic heater to maintain interior temperatures of 24 degrees Celsius.3:25 Because fresh water taps on the pontoon are shut off to prevent pipe bursts, the crew relies on an onboard water maker producing 30–40 liters per hour.1:39 To combat condensation in the uninsulated hull, they run a dehumidifier 24/7 and apply bubble wrap to the exterior of the windows.10:57 The crew clears snow from the deck to prevent weight accumulation and removes sensitive Garmin cockpit displays to protect them from extreme cold.14:26 For fuel, they manually transport diesel in canisters from a nearby station.5:03 During winter storms with gusts reaching 53 knots, the boat remains secure in the well-protected harbor.16:23 The crew uses floating suits for warmth and buoyancy in harsh conditions and stores sails and equipment in a rented local shed.20:25
