Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A Wharram Pahi 42 catamaran undergoes sea trials on a lake to test rig stability and autopilot performance before an offshore passage. The owner installs lazy jacks by climbing the mast and replaces a CQR anchor with a heavier model to improve holding in mud. During a 20-mile test sail to Horn, the crew encounters 20- to 25-knot gusts while close-hauled. The boat maintains a steady course using a new autopilot, which the crew monitors via Navionics. Despite the successful test, the owner identifies issues with mainsail shape, excessive reefing line clutter at the boom, and a submerged dinghy during transit. The crew reinforces the aft deck planks with additional screws to prepare for heavier weather. The shakedown confirms the boat's structural integrity under load while highlighting necessary adjustments to the sail plan and deck hardware before departing for Belgium.
