Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A solo sailor transits the Adriatic Sea from Monfalcone, Italy, to the Zadar region of Croatia aboard a Hobie Cat 16.Watch The seven-day passage involves navigating variable conditions, including the cold, gusty bura wind, localized storms, and periods of light air. To manage the boat’s tendency to pitchpole in stronger winds, the sailor shifts body weight toward the stern and maintains a constant watch on the bows. Gear upgrades for the trip include a Mantus Marine anchor, a kayak-style seat for comfort during long, slow stretches, and a waterproof dry suit that allows for extended sailing in rain and cold temperatures. The route passes through the channel between the Istria peninsula and the Brioni islands, with stops at Unije, Mali Lošinj, and the islands of Molat and Iž. Navigation relies on visual pilotage and local experience rather than electronic charts, while a radar reflector is used to increase visibility to commercial shipping.
