See me at sea · video

¿Qué cubre este video?

Nova Loman sails solo toward Kiel, Germany, navigating light winds and managing a persistent headsail furling issue. The halyard frequently wraps around the forestay profile, preventing the sail from furling correctly.7:01 Loman diagnoses the problem as an insufficient angle between the halyard and the forestay, caused by the sail being too short at the tack.9:02 By extending the tack with a rope, she increases the angle and successfully restores the furling function.9:36 During the passage, she monitors developing cumulus congestus clouds for potential squalls and observes porpoises.3:12 Upon reaching the Kiel fjord, she anchors for one night before moving into a harbor to charge her motor and prepare for the Kiel Canal.13:36 She secures a finger mooring rather than a box mooring, using a controlled drift technique to avoid damaging neighboring vessels.14:52 Her friends Lynn and Elia join her in Kiel to assist with the upcoming canal transit.18:37
