Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of SV Delos, a 15-year veteran monohull, charters a catamaran to evaluate the transition to multihull life before commissioning a new aluminum expeditionary vessel.Watch During a passage from French Polynesia to Bora Bora, the crew compares the motion and handling of the catamaran to their monohull.13:55 They note the catamaran’s superior stability and lack of rolling in downwind conditions, though they experience occasional, sharp wave slams against the bridge deck.17:54 The crew finds the manual sail handling on the charter boat more labor-intensive than the electric systems on SV Delos and observes that the catamaran requires more precise sail trim to maintain balance.15:05 During the transit, the crew accidentally back-winds the jib, causing a significant tear that requires a patch using Dacron and sail repair tape.19:24 The crew concludes that while the catamaran offers superior living space and stability, they miss the tactile feedback and rhythmic motion of a monohull.25:20
