Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Day 10 of Regina's Atlantic crossing from Guadeloupe to the Azores, sailing west to east.▶ 0:27 Persistent beam swell from a nearby low-pressure system makes the passage uncomfortable: the waves force a heading of 45 degrees, caught between a broad reach and a run, causing the genoa to flog as the wind shifts.▶ 0:25 Javi ran the boat dead downwind overnight to manage the large swell and rolling.▶ 1:23 He recalculates routing twice daily using Predict Wind, but the forecast keeps changing, leaving arrival time and route uncertain.▶ 1:41 Two pieces of onboard technology get detailed treatment. The Starlink Mini antenna has been wired directly to 12V DC, bypassing the inverter — Javi notes data consumption is unexpectedly high even with no video streaming, only WhatsApp and weather.▶ 2:15 The navigation software is Sailgrip WR, chosen for its Navionics chart integration.▶ 3:16 A Garmin inReach, normally portable, has been hardwired to an external Iridium antenna on the stern arch so it stays permanently connected; it feeds GPS position to Predict Wind's live tracking page.▶ 4:25 Wiring the Starlink Mini directly to 12V avoids inverter losses but does not solve high data consumption on a limited plan.▶ 2:15
