Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the 46-foot monohull Sweet Ruca joins the owners of Artemis, a custom Dazcat 52 performance catamaran, for a two-day passage from Puerto Williams, Chile, to round Cape Horn.0:14 The transit begins in the Beagle Channel, moving east toward the Goree Passage and Bahia Nassau.7:00 To ensure a successful rounding, the crew times the passage to navigate the open waters during night hours under light winds, aiming for favorable conditions by the time they reach the islands.7:53 The Dazcat 52 features electric winches and roller furling, allowing for centralized control from the interior.4:39 During the rounding, the catamaran maintains 9 knots of boat speed at an apparent wind angle of 43 degrees in 18 knots of wind.17:55 After passing the landmark at 56 degrees south, the vessel returns across Bahia Nassau and motors back up the Beagle Channel to Puerto Williams, anchoring in snowy conditions.25:33 Timing the passage to match wind windows allows for a safer rounding of the Horn in light air.
