Sailing SV Delos · video

¿Qué cubre este video?

The crew of SV Delos sails the Sea of Cortez using an asymmetrical spinnaker, or "ballooner," in winds under 20 knots to maintain speed when the Genoa loses efficiency.1:53 While anchored at Los Islotes, they observe a California sea lion rookery from their dinghy, noting the territorial behavior of males during the mating season.7:20 The crew later troubleshoots a power failure in their solar array, identifying a faulty connector in the mizzen mast wiring.12:25 By measuring voltage at the charge controller and intermediate access points, they isolate the issue to a specific connection, which they repair using a butt connector.15:35 This restoration allows the flexible solar panels to generate approximately 2.7 kilowatt-hours of power daily.16:03 The crew also utilizes a snubber line on their anchor chain to prevent shock loads on the windlass, paying out a 5:1 scope before backing down at 1500 RPM to set the hook.5:59
