Sailing Yabá · video

¿Qué cubre este video?

The 50-ton wooden vessel Yabá attempts a 16-nautical-mile upwind passage along the Brazilian coast to reach a water-filling station, a route that would measure only six miles under power.18:51 Lacking a mainsail due to ongoing rigging modifications, the crew relies on a genoa and two jibs to maintain a close-hauled course.9:56 The boat struggles to point effectively in light winds and restricted channels, requiring eight tacks to complete the transit in five hours.23:52 The crew experiments with adjusting the lead position of the jib sheets using low-friction rings to improve sail shape and windward performance.22:37 They conclude that while the heavy vessel can sail upwind, the lack of a mainsail creates a significant imbalance, causing the boat to twist away from the wind and making the rudder less responsive.9:18 The crew plans to reinstall a hoistable mainsail to improve future upwind capability and course stability.11:04
