Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the catamaran Supernova transited the Panama Canal by rafting alongside another catamaran, a maneuver that required precise helm control and the use of roving fenders to prevent hull damage against the lock walls.1:16 During the transit, a fairlead on the deck snapped under the pressure of the dock lines, and the crew experienced verbal conflict with Panamanian line handlers.4:56 After completing the canal passage, the vessel anchored in the Chagres River, navigating a shallow sandbar at the entrance with a minimum depth of 2.1 meters.17:14 The crew explored the nearby 17th-century Castillo de San Lorenzo, noting the presence of both crocodiles and sharks in the river, which precluded swimming.28:03 The transit required 12 hours of hand-steering, and the crew relied on Navionics charts for river navigation.12:54 The experience highlighted the necessity of maintaining steady tension on lines during lock cycles to avoid contact with lock walls and the importance of having reliable, attentive line handlers.47:14
