Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A practical readiness test for first offshore passage-making, described by Lin and Larry Pardey: take the boat out in 15 knots, hard on the wind, leave the safety harness off, grab a weighted bucket, climb out of the cockpit to the windward side, walk to the bow, touch it, return via the leeward side, and get back to the cockpit.0:28 The exercise identifies where handholds are missing and where deck slip spots need fixing.0:39 Once that feels manageable, repeat it in 25 knots — still without the harness — because a real emergency may leave no time to clip in, and the sailor needs to know the boat's deck under pressure before that moment arrives.0:45 Passing both tests signals readiness for a first offshore passage.0:54 The core lesson: deck familiarity at speed, not gear or miles logged, is the baseline competency Lin and Larry Pardey set before going offshore.
