Zephyr IV sails single-handed from Poole Quay Boat Haven to Portland Harbour, navigating the Dorset coast in 20-knot winds.1:21 The route passes Peveral Ledges, Anvil Point, and St. Albans Head, where the crew encounters significant rolling in the headland’s race.5:03 To improve downwind performance, the skipper rigs a wing-on-wing configuration by booming out the jib on the opposite side of the mainsail.5:57 A preventer line secured to a cleat prevents an accidental jibe, while a lightweight pole holds the jib steady.7:35 Following advice from Tom Cunliffe, the skipper partially furls the headsail before deploying the pole to maintain safety on the foredeck.8:10 The vessel maintains 5 knots through the water, aided by a favorable tide, before entering Portland Harbour via the preferred eastern entrance.9:26 The skipper secures a mooring at the Castle Sailing Club for the night.12:10 Using a preventer and a lightweight pole significantly improves stability and speed during downwind passages in moderate to heavy air.
