During a jibe near the end of the trip, a lazy sheet fouls the propeller after passing behind the keel and daggerboards.16:56 The crew clears the line by shifting the engine into reverse, avoiding the need for an underwater dive.17:12 Life on board features freeze-dried meals, a gimballed carbon-fiber toilet, and a media station located beneath the cockpit.0:12 The vessel maintains high speeds in light to moderate Mediterranean winds, with the crew operating on a watch system. The delivery serves as a fundraising model for the racing team, allowing non-professional sailors to gain experience on a high-performance carbon-fiber race boat.18:52
