Qué cubre este vídeo

Jakob Lang sails his 38-foot vessel, *Wolf*, on a 1,200-nautical-mile solo passage from Camaret-sur-Mer, France, to the Canary Islands.0:58 The route crosses the Bay of Biscay, where Lang manages light-wind conditions by frequently deploying and furling a gennaker to maintain speed. During the transit, he encounters heavy fog, requiring constant radar monitoring to avoid cargo vessels like the *Amadeus Gold* and *Singelkracht*.21:25 A shackle connecting the mainsheet to the traveler breaks, requiring a temporary fix.8:29 Lang uses a Garmin inReach Mini for satellite check-ins and relies on a diesel engine to navigate through patches of calm air.18:22 As the boat approaches Cabo Finisterre, Spain, wind speeds increase to 30 knots, forcing a difficult, high-wind dousing of the gennaker on the foredeck.26:41 The passage concludes with the vessel transitioning from the light-wind conditions of the Bay of Biscay into stronger, following winds off the coast of Portugal.
