Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Pat and Frankie, sailing their boat *Haie*, complete the first 900-nautical-mile leg of an Atlantic crossing from Santa Cruz to Mindelo, Cape Verde. The crew of four experiences varied conditions, ranging from light-wind "champagne sailing" to 30-knot gusts that necessitate reefing the main and jib.15:36 During the passage, the crew manages equipment failures, including a blocked frothing system and a broken spinnaker pole, while maintaining a consistent 8-to-10-knot speed wing-on-wing.10:36 Security concerns arise when an unidentified vessel follows them at high speed in the dark, prompting the crew to briefly go "black" by turning off AIS and lights before identifying the contact as a stationary tanker.17:47 Energy needs are met through a combination of flexible solar panels, bimini-mounted panels, and a Raymarine hydro-generator.20:49 The crew navigates pyramid waves and Sahara dust as they approach landfall, ultimately concluding the first leg of their journey to the Caribbean.25:00
