Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A 65-foot Far 65, *Falcon*, sails a 650-nautical-mile passage from Greenland to Iceland along the Viking route.0:40 The crew encounters challenging upwind conditions, forcing the vessel to beat into waves for an extended period, which causes significant seasickness among nearly half of the eight-person crew.9:05 The captain notes that the boat’s high performance makes it difficult to maintain comfort in heavy upwind conditions without professional-level trimming.24:05 As the wind shifts and backs, the crew adjusts the sail plan by dropping the staysail and shaking out reefs to improve speed and motion.15:58 The vessel maintains an average speed of eight knots during the final approach.16:26 The crew reflects on the expedition, identifying the stop in Greenland as the highlight due to the unexpected lushness of the landscape and the opportunity for hiking.21:04 The passage concludes with a final 24-hour stretch of lighter winds as the boat approaches the coast of Iceland.27:24 High-performance, flat-bottomed boats require precise sail trim to mitigate slamming when beating into heavy seas.9:45
