Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Preparing a sailboat for a gale in a roadstead requires selecting a deep anchorage with protection from multiple wind directions and a bottom of sand or compact mud for high holding power.0:57 Avoid steep cliffs, which can generate dangerous katabatic winds that accelerate gusts beyond the ambient wind speed.3:16 Once anchored in 6 meters of water, deploy at least 50 meters of chain to ensure the catenary absorbs the load of 40–50 knot gusts, preventing the anchor from breaking out.4:23 Secure the chain to the boat using a snubber line with a rolling hitch to relieve strain on the windlass.7:28 To prevent damage, lash the furled jib and mainsail tightly to the boom, remove or tightly bundle biminis and sprayhoods, and hoist the tender onto the deck, securing it with a purchase system.9:37 Brief the crew on the situation, assign a helper to operate the windlass if necessary, and keep fenders deployed to mitigate collision risks from dragging neighbors.14:45
