While sailing a 420-nautical-mile passage from Florida toward Morehead City, North Carolina, Vlad experienced a failure of the mainsail clew attachment point.▶ 4:41 The metal ring connecting the clew to the boom broke under load, forcing him to consider diverting to Charleston for repairs.▶ 5:28 Instead, he performed a temporary field repair using a soft shackle and a secondary line to secure the boom, allowing him to continue his course.▶ 6:44 The soft shackle failed after three hours, requiring a second, reinforced repair using a repositioned car to reduce the angle of pull and additional safety lines.▶ 9:04 He maintained speeds of 8.5 to 10.5 knots while crossing the Gulf Stream before the wind died, necessitating 15 hours of motoring to reach Beaufort Inlet.▶ 9:49 Upon arrival at Portside Marina in Morehead City, he replaced the broken component with a new Harken part, which required drilling out the threads in the workshop to complete the installation.▶ 16:41
