Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Sailing from Les Saintes to Rivière Sens, Guadeloupe, aboard the Beneteau Oceanis 440 Corail, the skipper runs a crew-training exercise with three female crew members — Marion, Caro, and Alexia — requiring them to handle all maneuvers independently: weather checks, sail selection, anchor raising, and helming in 17–18 knots with gusts to 25.▶ 1:21 The crew deploys only the genoa, choosing to leave the mainsail furled given the gusts.▶ 2:07 At the lighthouse near Rivière Sens the crew wants to change the anchorage plan mid-approach; the skipper uses the moment to stress checking charts and local information before altering course, noting that Antilles anchorages change year to year — mooring buoys appear and disappear, and the ones present at Rivière Sens proved to be privately owned.▶ 11:00 The anchorage rolled heavily overnight from 1.5–2 m swell wrapping around the lighthouse headland, with 25-knot gusts confirmed by rigging vibration.▶ 18:02 Anchoring depth was just over 12 m with 40 m of chain deployed.▶ 15:45 The windlass remote control was accidentally torn from its wiring during the approach; the skipper repaired the wago connectors dockside.▶ 8:02 The group also hikes La Soufrière volcano.▶ 18:47 A diver nearby freed a genoa sheet wrapped around a neighboring boat's propeller shaft.▶ 24:20
