Qué cubre este vídeo

A 50-hour, 294-mile passage from Christiansund, Norway, to the Shetland Islands serves as a shakedown cruise for a planned multi-month voyage to the Caribbean.0:47 The crew navigates deep downwind angles, initially attempting a wing-and-wing configuration with a Code Zero and jib before switching to an asymmetrical spinnaker to improve stability and course-keeping.6:10 Navigational challenges include identifying restricted oil field development zones on electronic charts, which require high-level zoom settings to remain visible.8:02 During the final 12 hours, the crew maintains a steady pace using a jib on a whisker pole in 23-knot winds, testing the autopilot’s ability to manage following seas.13:16 Upon arrival at Yui Sound, the vessel remains under a Q flag until receiving clearance from the UK Border Force.15:03 The passage provides an opportunity to refine watch schedules, test Iridium weather data acquisition, and identify necessary gear upgrades before longer offshore legs.9:47
