Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A solo sailor aboard a Rustler 36 named Miss Beagle navigates toward the island of Trindade in the South Atlantic Ocean, relying on celestial navigation to confirm position.56:19 The sailor maintains a speed of four to six knots while beam reaching under a spinnaker previously used by Jean-Luc Van Den Heede in the 2018 Golden Globe Race.8:03 A Hydrovane wind vane provides steering, which the sailor prefers for its silence and lack of electrical consumption.1:28:41 The vessel’s electrical system, including battery terminal connections and reefing lines, underwent significant upgrades in Lymington prior to the voyage. The sailor uses a sextant for daily noon sights to track progress toward the 20-degree south latitude mark, aiming to sight the island within hours.10:38 The passage plan involves monitoring wind shifts and adjusting sail trim to maintain hull speed, while managing gear maintenance like applying WD-40 to deck hardware. The sailor notes the positions of other race participants, including Daniel, Mara, Henry, Matt, and Gunnar, as they progress through the South Atlantic.4:44:31
