Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A Lagoon 51 catamaran is delivered from Bordeaux, France, to Croatia on a roughly 2,700-nautical-mile passage covering the Gironde river, Bay of Biscay, Portugal, Gibraltar Strait, and the Mediterranean.0:39 Departure from Bordeaux requires transiting a swing bridge and lock that opens only four times a week, with timing critical to avoid adverse river current on the 50-nautical-mile run to the Atlantic.0:05 Fuel consumption running a single engine at 2,000 RPM averages five liters per hour at roughly one nautical mile per liter from a 1,000-liter tank.16:58 The crew navigates the orca-attack zone between Portugal and Gibraltar using the GT Orca Atlantica app to track sightings and attacks, hugging the coast at under 20 meters depth as the primary mitigation strategy; the Lagoon 51's short forward-mounted rudders and twin-propeller layout are assessed as less attractive to orcas than a monohull's deep free-hanging rudder.52:33 Downwind sail trim favors a butterfly configuration over gybing, which improves VMG and reduces hobby-horsing in following seas.1:22:11 The flybridge is highlighted for crew capacity, shade, and superior visibility for spotting nets and marine animals.5:30 Starlink provides offshore internet.1:28:06 The passage is a delivery on a charter schedule, requiring consistent motoring despite light or unfavorable winds.2:27:57
