Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Barry Perrins navigates heavy weather in the Bay of Biscay while sailing toward France. High winds and significant swell force the boat to run with a single small headsail, maintaining a speed of approximately 4.3 knots.6:50 The vessel remains well offshore, roughly 100 miles from the French coast, as the crew manages the boat in rough conditions that prevent standard navigation or movement below deck.5:16 A nearby French yacht, observed sailing with a full sail plan, eventually adjusts its course to match the favorable angle of the swell.6:11 The crew prepares for a sleepless night by securing gear, strapping into the cockpit, and relying on simple provisions like salami and cheese.5:56 The boat's speed is intentionally kept moderate to ensure time for repairs if equipment fails during the transit.7:03
