Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A broken sail car on the mainsail of the 33-kg Rocna-equipped Polaris forces a temporary repair during a 20-nautical-mile passage from Port Ellen to Craighouse on the Isle of Jura.2:13 The failure occurs when a bolt securing the sail car to the batten pocket vibrates loose, requiring a temporary fix using an M6 bolt and a nylock nut.8:58 To minimize stress on the repaired component, the crew swaps the damaged car with one from the top batten, which experiences less pressure.10:22 During the subsequent anchorage in Craighouse, the crew deploys a snubber line to protect the electric windlass from shock loads and hoists an anchor ball to signal their position.6:29 After visiting the Jura Distillery via electric-powered dinghy, the crew encounters difficulty towing the dinghy in the Sound of Jura.18:01 They eventually seek shelter in the Fairy Islands to avoid an approaching low-pressure system bringing gusts and low visibility.21:41 Swapping sail cars between battens provides a functional, low-stress solution for damaged hardware until replacement parts arrive.
