During a 1,200-mile passage from New Zealand to Fiji, the crew of a pocket cruiser manages heavy squalls and rolling seas by reefing the mainsail and deploying a staysail. To reduce excessive rolling, they install a third reef in the main, which stabilizes the boat significantly.3:59 While monitoring the bilge, the crew discovers water accumulation, which they trace to a ruptured fresh-water storage bag in a locker rather than a hull breach.4:58 The vessel maintains steady progress under 15 to 25 knots of wind, covering 100 miles in a 24-hour period.5:43 To avoid high weekend customs fees in Fiji, the crew decides to divert to South Minerva Reef for a two-day stopover.10:37 They arrive at the reef at first light, navigating the entrance in 20-meter depths.16:51 During the transit, they also repair a failed stanchion pin on the rail guard.13:08 Reefing the mainsail and adjusting sail configuration effectively mitigates heavy rolling in following seas.
