Qué cubre este vídeo

Nova Vita, a cruising sailboat, departs Mindelo, Cape Verde, for a transatlantic passage to Martinique.0:12 During the first five days of the crossing, the crew encounters 12 to 30 knots of wind and 2- to 3-meter seas.16:40 The vessel maintains a daily run of 103 to 142 nautical miles while sailing wing-on-wing with a preventer on the mainsail and a poled-out headsail.24:01 Shortly after departure, both the wind vane and the newly installed Raymarine autopilot fail to maintain a course in the swell, forcing the crew to hand-steer in two- to three-hour shifts.12:47 The crew attempts to troubleshoot the wind vane and monitors the struggling autopilot to prevent motor burnout.13:20 Despite the mechanical failures and rough conditions, the boat maintains speeds of 6 to 7 knots.15:45 The crew continues to log their position every four hours and maintains a strict watch schedule while navigating the Atlantic.22:59
