Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Matthias and Luisa sail their 34-foot Saddler, *Wanderling*, from New York City toward the Carolinas in November, encountering heavy weather and equipment failure.0:41 During a 25-to-30-knot northerly blow, the boat sustains damage to the VHF antenna, the Windex, and both the headsail and mainsail.8:19 The crew diverts to Hampton, Virginia, near Norfolk, to perform repairs, where Matthias climbs the mast to fabricate a replacement mounting plate for the antenna and wind indicator.10:07 Resuming the passage, they navigate a narrow corridor between the Gulf Stream and the shoals off Cape Hatteras to avoid dangerous current-against-wind conditions.13:35 Despite sustained 25-to-30-knot winds and 2.5-meter seas, they maintain a steady pace, eventually deciding to seek shelter at Little River Inlet on the border of North and South Carolina.17:53 The crew relies on a Windpilot self-steering system during the rough conditions and manages the boat under a triple-reefed mainsail and reduced headsail.11:53
