The 15-meter vessel averages 100 to 120 kilometers per day, with the sailor reporting difficulty maintaining speed due to frequent wind shifts and calm conditions.1:32:02 The crew member manages sail configurations, switching between the genoa and spinnaker to maximize traction, while relying on a Hydrovane self-steering system to maintain course.7:44 The sailor notes that the boat’s motion makes daily tasks, such as preparing coffee or organizing gear, physically challenging.14:03 Despite the isolation and the lack of consistent trade winds, the sailor maintains a positive outlook, utilizing Starlink for connectivity and monitoring weather patterns to avoid poor conditions.1:28:46 The participant reflects on the contrast between the slow pace of this race and the higher speeds achieved by Class 40 boats, emphasizing that the current strategy prioritizes steady progress over aggressive sail handling.1:34:12
