¿Qué cubre este video?
The crew of the 45-ft catamaran Supernova experienced a pirate boarding while sailing from Los Roques, Venezuela, toward Grenada. During the incident, the attackers boarded the vessel, prompting the crew to prioritize immediate evasive maneuvers and communication with authorities. Following the event, the crew reported the attack to the Coast Guard, their respective country consulates, and the Caribbean Safety and Security Net. They identified the waters near Isla de Margarita and Los Testigos as high-risk areas, contrasting these with the secure, community-focused environment they experienced in Los Roques. The crew acknowledged tactical errors during the aftermath, specifically failing to reef sails promptly while under stress, which risked damage to the mast and rigging. They emphasized the importance of pre-planned boarding protocols and maintaining situational awareness via AIS and radar. The crew successfully reached Grenada, where they coordinated with the local Coast Guard in Prickly Bay. Maintaining clear communication channels and pre-established emergency procedures are essential for managing security threats at sea.
