Qué cubre este vídeo

Chris Stanmore-Major prepares his 40-foot trimaran for a passage from St. George’s, Bermuda, to Boston, United States, while managing ongoing electrical and rigging maintenance. He addresses a recurring solar panel issue by relying on a 200-amp-hour lithium-ion phosphate battery bank and engine charging to sustain the boat’s power needs. To prevent further chafe on a halyard, he performs a whipping repair using a sailor’s palm, a number seven needle, and Robline twine, emphasizing the importance of maintaining line ends to ensure they remain passable through blocks and jammers. Before departing, he clears customs at the St. George’s office and coordinates his exit with Bermuda Radio. He notes that while he typically avoids social interaction, he successfully connected with other cruisers in Bermuda, suggesting future content could feature tours of other vessels. He monitors a developing hurricane near Florida but determines his northward route to Boston will avoid the system.
