Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the sailboat Uma completes a passage from the Florida Keys to Fort Pierce, Florida, covering 160 miles in 20 hours.3:03 During the transit, the crew encounters light wind conditions that force them to motor-sail and eventually drift while waiting for a breeze.6:00 They attempt to troll for fish using outriggers, losing a large mahi-mahi that bends a hook before successfully landing a tuna with a heavier lure and leader.5:01 Upon arriving in Fort Pierce, the crew performs maintenance on the standing rigging by shortening the lower shrouds because the turnbuckles reached their maximum adjustment.10:40 Before departing for Charleston, they calibrate the autopilot, referred to as Sweeky, to improve steering accuracy.11:27 The crew also provides resources on their website regarding their electric motor installation, including component details, range, and charging information, and hosts a community forum for electric propulsion enthusiasts.13:59
