Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the 30-foot home-built boat Red Aviva sails from Isla Carmen to a small anchorage at Víkov in the Loreto National Park Island Group, Mexico.0:52 During this transit, they encounter jellyfish in the anchorage and hire a friend to clean the boat's hull of marine growth.12:48 The crew subsequently tests a used symmetric spinnaker, purchased for $200 on Craigslist, while sailing in light winds.20:08 Although the boat lacks a traditional spinnaker pole setup, they experiment with rigging the sail as an asymmetrical gennaker by running the tack through a block on the main boom.21:29 This configuration increases their speed by approximately one knot.18:40 The crew plans to perform minor repairs on the sail patches later at Escondido.18:56 This passage marks the first time the owners have hoisted the spinnaker since completing their seven-and-a-half-year boat-building project.21:03
