Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Solo sailor Colin Denker plans a mid-to-late April departure for a solo passage from San Francisco to Hawaii.1:20:18 Denker, who previously sailed a Triton solo from Washington to San Francisco, refitted his vessel using rigging and anchor point configurations recommended by James Baldwin, a veteran of two solo circumnavigations.41:01 Denker’s Triton features a large, roachless, and battenless mainsail that requires a single reef in winds exceeding 12 knots.42:40 The planned route to Hilo, Hawaii, covers approximately 1,200 miles from the California coast, requiring a commitment to the open ocean with no intermediate bail-out points.24:45 Denker emphasizes that offshore solo sailing requires psychological resilience and the ability to manage crises independently, noting that his previous coastal and offshore experiences served as a masterclass in triage and decision-making under pressure.25:45 He acknowledges that his motivation for the Hawaii trip includes a desire to test his limits and gain further experience after a period of being land-based.1:02:28
