Qué cubre este vídeo

A 10-ton sailboat transits from the Pertuis of La Rochelle to Rochefort, France, navigating through dense fog and rain.7:46 The crew relies on the Navionics app for positioning while motoring up the Charente River, where they encounter significant floating debris, including large logs and timber that pose a risk to the propeller and hull.16:33 Upon arrival at the Rochefort port, the skipper identifies a persistent saltwater leak in the bilge.8:28 After inspecting the engine and plumbing, he traces the source to the rudder stock’s traditional stuffing box, which requires additional grease to maintain a proper seal.9:16 The vessel is moored at the Rochefort visitor pontoon before moving to a long-term berth to facilitate maintenance, including repairs to the mainsail tackle, reefing lines, and genoa sheets.21:11 The skipper notes that the boat’s heavy displacement and undersized rudders make maneuvering in tight harbor channels challenging compared to modern designs.7:52
