Ce que couvre cette vidéo

During an Atlantic crossing on day eight, the crew of a cruising sailboat encounters 15-to-16-foot seas with winds gusting to 35 knots.3:08 The vessel, which features a bulb keel, experiences significant rolling and difficulty maintaining a straight course in the tight, 10-second wave periods.5:24 The crew loses their drogue during the night, which previously helped stabilize the stern and prevent surfing.4:49 To manage the motion, the crew remains vigilant at the helm to assist the autopilot when the boat begins to surf or turn sideways.3:56 Interior conditions result in minor injuries and gear displacement, including a spilled diesel jug and a broken refrigerator door latch.20:26 The crew uses an Insta360 camera to document the sea state and maintains morale with simple meals like frozen pizza.23:41 As the wind subsides to 20–25 knots, the crew anticipates a shift in wind direction to a following sea, which they expect will reduce the rolling motion.24:36
