Qué cubre este vídeo
A 60-knot squall caused the catamaran *Learning By Doing* to drag anchor and run aground on a coral reef at 4 a.m. during a period of dead-calm conditions.0:17 The crew identified a heavy cockpit cover, installed to prevent leaks, as the primary cause of the incident; the cover significantly increased windage, overpowering the anchor.22:47 With the boat resting on soft coral at low tide, the crew deployed a secondary cage anchor 40 meters away and used the dinghy to maintain tension on the hull.0:57 They monitored tide charts via Navionics, which indicated a 1.2-meter rise over the next six hours, allowing the vessel to float free as the tide returned.17:17 The incident resulted in a bent propeller shaft and cosmetic hull scratches, but no structural breaches or water ingress.7:52 The crew concluded that the decision to prioritize a dry sleeping area over removing the high-windage cover during squally weather directly led to the grounding.24:25
