Qué cubre este vídeo
A Dana 24 attempts a passage from Dana Point to Cat Harbor, Catalina Island, but turns back to Avalon Harbor due to unfavorable wind and sea conditions. The boat struggles to maintain speed against 10–15 knot headwinds and steep, five-second-interval swells while rounding the island, dropping from 4 knots to 2.5 knots.18:02 The owner decides to abort the approach to Cat Harbor to avoid a sunset arrival in potentially worsening conditions.18:58 The vessel performs a 180-degree turn and enjoys a downwind run to Avalon, maintaining 5.5 knots under a double-reefed main.21:38 The trip includes a successful test of a newly installed hot water heater and a Trident Marine propane system with a vapor sensor.26:31 The return passage to Dana Point involves motor-sailing in flat seas and coordinating course adjustments with a buddy boat, *Ohana*, to pass behind a 967-foot cargo ship in the shipping lanes.29:53
