Qué cubre este vídeo

SV Delos, a 53-foot Amel monohull, races a production catamaran named Parley on a 460-nautical-mile passage from Pivoa toward the Tuamotus.2:41 The crew adopts a strategy of sailing due south to maintain a beam reach when winds increase to 20 knots, aiming to leverage the monohull's superior upwind performance in heavy seas.4:24 During the three-day transit, both vessels encounter squalls and light-wind holes, forcing tactical decisions regarding engine use and sail changes.19:01 The crew catches a large bigeye tuna, which they process for food while managing the boat through challenging, squally conditions.13:58 As they approach the destination, the crew navigates a shallow area containing coral bommies in 25 meters of water.21:49 The passage highlights the performance differences between a blue-water monohull and a production catamaran when beating into 20-knot winds and steep seas.19:38 The race concludes with both crews tracking engine hours to determine the winner of the informal challenge.22:11
