Qué cubre este vídeo
A solo competitor in the Golden Globe Race struggles with persistent headwinds while sailing a Baltic 42 through the South Atlantic toward Uruguay.2:31:09 The vessel’s heavy, bluff-bowed hull performs poorly to windward compared to modern designs in the fleet, resulting in significant distance lost to competitors.2:27:58 The sailor reports ongoing technical issues, including a malfunctioning remote camera, a leaking rudder post, and water ingress through the galley hatch during heavy seas.1:27:36 To manage the boat, the crew replaced the Genoa with a heavy-air Yankee and utilized a large spinnaker in light air, though sudden wind shifts necessitated careful handling to avoid wrapping the sail.1:42:27 Navigation relies on daily sun sights, with celestial worksheets modeled after Tom Cunliffe’s methods.1:50:11 Despite the tactical frustration and physical discomfort from a suspected ear infection, the sailor maintains the rig and hull, noting the absence of barnacles and propeller fouling.1:51:20 The voyage continues with a focus on maintaining an easterly heading toward the Southern Ocean.
