Catamaran Mistertong · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The owners of the catamaran Mistertong, Djé and Nad, conduct their first independent sailing trials in the waters between Sainte-Anne and Le Marin, Martinique. During these initial outings, the crew reefs the mainsail with two reefs as a precaution, despite light winds ranging from 8 to 11 knots. They practice tacking and sail trim while navigating around local fishing gear and commercial traffic. The crew identifies a need to increase tension on the forestay and plans to install new "rattrapes" (adjusters) to improve performance when sailing close-hauled. Between sailing sessions, the crew performs maintenance, including repairing fiberglass damage in the anchor locker using epoxy and filler, and replacing a faulty windlass control button. They also manage logistics such as refueling, sourcing propane, and securing the boat for their cat, which is kept in a crate during navigation. The crew concludes that these short, controlled trips are essential for building confidence in handling the vessel without assistance.
