Qué cubre este vídeo

A crew sailing from Siracusa, Sicily, to Malta encounters 25-knot winds and heavy swell during a 16-hour overnight passage. The boat, sailing close-hauled at a 30-degree angle, sustains damage when a paddleboard rack rips off the deck, leaving the board dragging in the water before the crew retrieves it.14:53 Water ingress through a deck hatch soaks the interior bedding and creates a leak near an electrical outlet.15:48 Upon arrival in Malta at 5:30 a.m., the crew anchors in a confined bay and completes customs clearance by submitting a stamped crew list; officials do not stamp passports, which the crew notes may help preserve their Schengen visa time.16:42 The vessel relies on an AIS receiver to navigate around large ships anchored near the harbor entrance.11:58 The crew plans to use materials purchased in Malta to repair the damaged paddleboard rack.
