Qué cubre este vídeo

A 38-foot sailboat departs Natal, Brazil, for a 15-day, non-stop passage to the Caribbean, sailing in company with two other vessels. Before departure, the crew installs a Schenker watermaker, selecting the unit for its low power consumption of approximately 6 amps per hour while producing 30 liters of water.6:00 During the transit, the crew manages a "wing-on-wing" sail configuration to navigate the South Atlantic, utilizing a preventer on the mainsail to mitigate the risk of an accidental jibe in following seas.33:11 When the autopilot struggles to maintain a steady course in 20-to-30-knot winds and large, fast-moving swells, the captain manually steers by reference to the moon to reduce the load on the autopilot’s hydraulic pump.42:27 The crew also resolves a persistent squealing noise from the rudder assembly by applying white grease to the stainless steel rudder shaft.40:01 The passage involves maintaining a routine for the child on board, including dedicated play areas and meal preparation, while adapting to the physical demands of offshore sailing.
