Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Jason and Nikki Wynn board Millennium, a 66-foot custom-built sailing ketch, at Muscat Cove in Fiji for a transit to the Cloud Break surf break.5:57 The 67-ton vessel requires specific pre-departure procedures, including manually feathering the variable-pitch propeller with seven turns to transition from sailing to power mode.2:28 Navigating the barrier reef requires constant eyeball navigation, as Navionics charts show inaccurate depths near reef edges.7:11 The crew covers a 10-mile route at four knots, dodging coral heads and bombies.6:04 Because of the boat's size and deep draft, the crew anchors in 10 meters of water in a small sandy patch away from smaller vessels to ensure adequate swing room.9:19 The transition from their 38-foot catamaran, Curiosity, to the 67-ton ketch highlights the increased physical effort required to steer and the necessity of visual confirmation over electronic charting in reef-heavy waters.6:39
