Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the 45-ft catamaran La Vagabonde encounters sustained 30-knot winds and heavy seas during an 800-mile passage toward the Azores. Before departure, the captain rigs the square-top mainsail after consulting an Outremer owner group on Facebook to confirm the correct line routing.4:26 During the transit, the vessel crosses an uncharted underwater seamount, which causes significant wave amplification and uncomfortable motion.10:13 The crew experiences severe seasickness, exacerbated by the boat taking a massive wave over the deck that causes the interior to shift, including unsecured galley knives.14:40 The captain maintains a third reef in the mainsail to manage gusts reaching 36 knots while waiting for the wind to shift aft.9:01 The passage highlights the physical toll of heavy-weather sailing and the impact of bathymetric features on sea state.
