Qué cubre este vídeo

Departing Moreton Bay just outside Brisbane, Adam and Luke head north aboard their Rival 34, Cheques, testing a new full sail set from Direct Sail for the first time — main, staysail, and an oversized genoa.1:44 The old genoa had rotted to pieces when they tried to fold it ashore.5:31 The new sails perform well, pushing Cheques to 7 knots in 19 knots of wind on a close fetch.11:36 Navigation through Moreton Bay's sandbanks requires careful channel-following; depth drops to 2.1 metres at one point.7:04 A halyard jams around the masthead light, sending one of the brothers aloft in a sloppy seaway to free it.8:24 Wind angle prevents rounding Rainbow Beach, so they divert nine miles to Mooloolaba.10:50 The entrance proves tricky: silting from recent Queensland floodwaters and a low-tide arrival put them over 0.8 metres, and a dredger is actively working the bar.16:55 Ashore in Mooloolaba they remove a rusted, non-functional oven and install an air fryer in the galley space, building a custom wooden housing from timber found at Bunnings.22:15 They also report a £600 collaboration dinghy deteriorating after four months — PVC losing its oils, going sticky, and developing a leak — with the supplier unresolved after two months of contact.15:46 New sails confirmed a marked performance gain over the rotten previous set.
