Qué cubre este vídeo

A 600-nautical-mile passage from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, to St. John’s, Newfoundland, requires the crew of the *DrakeParagon* to manage downwind sailing conditions and sudden, dense fog. To optimize the course toward St. John’s, the crew rigs a preventer on the mainsail to allow for a deeper, more direct downwind angle without the risk of an accidental jibe.20:06 The process involves attaching a line to the end of the boom, leading it outboard of the shrouds to a bow cleat, and tensioning the mainsheet to lock the boom in place.4:17 As the vessel approaches the coast, visibility drops to a quarter-mile due to thick fog, and temperatures fall rapidly.36:32 The crew reefs the mainsail twice and deploys the jib to maintain a target speed of five knots for a planned daybreak arrival.37:04 Radar monitoring becomes essential for navigation in the low-visibility conditions.37:48
