A crew aboard a Bavaria 40 prepares for a return passage in deteriorating weather, anticipating wind gusts up to 17 meters per second.0:56 The previous day’s sailing featured clear skies and fresh conditions, but the vessel experienced intermittent steering loss during gusts.1:27 The crew attributes this handling issue to barnacle growth on the rudder, which likely reduces control authority under load.1:30 To compensate for the compromised steering and the forecast of strong following winds, the crew plans to reef the mainsail twice and maintain a conservative sail plan.1:07 The passage route involves rounding Valer before turning downwind.1:02 The crew notes that the current conditions justify the cancellation of the scheduled winter sailing season, as the heavy rain and high winds create uncomfortable and challenging offshore environments.1:15
