Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Chris and his crew sail an 80-foot boat east along the English Channel, passing the Isles of Scilly during the Fastnet race.▶ 1:35 The crew transitions from a double headsail configuration to a spinnaker, utilizing a kite salvaged from an Open 60.▶ 1:09 Chris designed the mainsail with five reefs to mimic the sail plan of an Open 60 when reefed, allowing for consistent handling characteristics as wind conditions change.▶ 1:57 The vessel maintains a speed of 11 knots on a 090 heading, though the water ballast system remains offline.▶ 2:28 While the boat currently ranks between 60th and 70th out of 380 starters, the primary objective focuses on sail training and developing the crew's ability to manage the boat independently.▶ 3:59 The project funds future upgrades, such as new headsails and roller furling, through the sale of segments from the boat's retired 1,600-square-foot mainsail.▶ 5:03
