A 30-foot Sunlight 30 sailboat makes a 43-nautical-mile passage from Funchal, Madeira, to Porto Santo, Portugal, to reach a vessel left in the marina.0:22 The crew hitches a ride with a 75-year-old sailor named Jean-Louis, who operates the boat solo.2:50 The transit takes approximately seven hours, with the crew alternating between sailing downwind in 17-knot gusts and motor-sailing at 3 to 5 knots as winds die down.16:48 The passage highlights the ease of handling a 30-foot vessel, noting that smaller boats require less physical effort to manage lines, winches, and sails compared to larger yachts.10:50 The crew concludes that for a solo sailor of average height, a 30- to 33-foot boat offers the optimal balance between manageable gear size, living comfort, and ease of operation.11:01
