Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A crew sailing from Hilo, Hawaii, to Southern California in July 2025 navigates the North Pacific High to reach a waypoint at 34°N, 153°W.30:00 The vessel, a small sailboat, maintains a route strategy developed with a weather router from PV Sailing, aiming to "boomerang" around the high-pressure system by chasing its tail as it compresses against a low-pressure system to the northwest.29:38 During the transit, the crew encounters variable conditions, including 31-knot squalls that force a reduction to a triple-reefed main and staysail, followed by periods of light wind requiring motor-sailing at 1800 RPM to maintain progress.12:40 The crew uses PredictWind for routing and relies on a Hydrovane for self-steering during favorable conditions.26:53 Despite consistent daily runs of approximately 117 nautical miles, the crew faces challenges with wind shifts and light air that complicate the desired easterly progress toward the California coast.38:54
