Sam Holmes sails solo from Malaysia back to Thailand, managing a series of equipment failures while navigating coastal waters.▶ 0:04 During the passage, the primary winch fails, forcing him to hoist the mainsail manually.▶ 14:23 While he attempts to troubleshoot the winch, a sudden 30-knot squall causes the screecher to unfurl and jam in a clutch.▶ 17:37 He manages to drop the sail and secure it on the foredeck, though the lack of a supported bowsprit causes it to dip into the water.▶ 18:13 He eventually repairs the winch to manual operation, successfully hoisting the mainsail by hand, though he notes the physical toll of manual winching.▶ 28:24 Throughout the trip, he experiments with a storm jib, using soft shackles to attach it to the forestay, and tests the sail's performance in varying wind conditions.▶ 1:46 He anchors at several locations, including Phi Phi Island, while monitoring weather patterns and using an anchor alarm to manage proximity to shore and reefs.▶ 12:54
