Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of a cruising sailboat experiences a series of cascading equipment failures and injuries while anchored. The water maker begins producing high-salinity water, which the owners trace to a faulty O-ring in one of the two membranes.8:36 Shortly after, water leaks down the solar panel wiring during a rainstorm, entering the inverter and causing it to malfunction; the unit recovers after drying out.11:33 During a period of high winds reaching 30 knots, unsecured semi-flexible solar panels blow off the deck.15:55 One panel is lost, while the other is recovered from the water and surprisingly remains functional after a freshwater rinse.16:19 The crew also manages a medical emergency when a child sustains a deep forehead laceration after falling onto a jib sheet redirect block, which they treat with super glue and a sterile strip.5:55 The owners conclude that semi-flexible solar panels are unreliable and note that poorly sealed wiring from recent upgrades can create significant water intrusion risks.18:34
