Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the Lagoon 450 catamaran *Parlay Revival* navigates the 30-nautical-mile length of a Tuamotu atoll using satellite-overlay charts on OpenCPN and a PredictWind Data Hub to identify submerged coral heads, or bommies.2:26 Despite 20-knot forecasts, wind speeds reach 30 knots, creating choppy conditions that obscure reef hazards and necessitate precise eyeball navigation.5:17 To protect the coral floor while anchored, the crew attaches floats to their chain at 10-to-15-foot intervals to keep the gear suspended off the bottom.6:49 During a spearfishing excursion outside the pass with local guides, a crew member sustains a deep hand laceration from the razor-sharp dorsal fins of a caught fish.20:11 The crew transports the injured sailor to a local medical facility on the atoll for treatment, noting that the availability of a nurse is an exception in such remote waters.22:15 The passage concludes with a light-air spinnaker comparison between *Parlay Revival* and a Fountaine Pajot Helia 44.13:19
