Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A Bavaria Yachts 36 crew faces multiple equipment failures while 700 to 1,000 miles from the Azores during an Atlantic crossing.▶ 11:48 A lower inner shroud began to part, with one strand visibly broken after sustained 25-knot winds and 3-to-4-meter seas.▶ 7:06 To preserve the rig, the crew dropped the mainsail and lashed the damaged shroud with Dyneema and shackles, opting to sail under headsail only to minimize slamming and shock loading.▶ 11:11 The vessel also experienced a total failure of the wind instrument system and a worsening engine oil leak that limits the ability to motor through calm patches.▶ 8:38 With forecasts consistently failing to provide predicted wind, the boat remains frequently becalmed, forcing the crew to drift to avoid sail-flapping stress on the compromised rig.▶ 17:26 The crew prioritizes rig integrity over speed, accepting a loss of 1.5 knots to ensure the mast remains standing for the remainder of the passage.▶ 15:43
