Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Leo Goolden departs Fort Lauderdale on July 5th aboard Tally Ho, bound for the UK on a non-stop transatlantic crossing — his longest passage to date.0:20 The four-person crew includes Jeff (Belgian, previously sailed with Leo in Costa Rica), Bogel (British), and Louis, an experienced gaff-rig sailor on his 21st Atlantic crossing, five of them single-handed.1:56 Marat could not join and plans to meet the boat on the other side.1:07

Pre-departure work included chafe protection on the gaff where it contacts the shrouds, rig checks, and stowing a large quantity of provisions — fresh food in nets, a full fridge and freezer, and cans under every surface.2:45 Sails displaced the double berth in Leo's cabin.6:02 Departure timing was constrained by shallow water and bridge openings on the Fort Lauderdale waterway; the boat stopped for diesel on the way out.7:18 A thunderstorm threatened at the inlet but stayed over Florida.11:08 Two hours out, Tally Ho was making 7.5 knots, partly aided by the Gulf Stream, with main, jib, and staysail up and topsails being set.12:19 The planned route runs north of Bermuda.7:00 Leo notes Starlink may be unavailable at times but that other safety communications are aboard.8:17 The target destination is England, with the Fastnet Race as a stated deadline.9:08
