Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Sailing Supernova's Sunreef 62 departs Cabo Verde on an Atlantic crossing to Martinique, buddy-boating with Star Hunter and Mug Up.0:16 The start is delayed 45 minutes when a large wire fouls the anchor; Darcy jumps in, loops a line around the roll bar, and the crew heaves the wire clear.0:30 Watch schedule runs 12 hours on, 12 hours off between Yvette and Darcy, with Yvette's father aboard as a third crew member for sail changes and backup.5:32 Light winds — often under 10 knots — dominate the first four days; the boat covers roughly 110 nautical miles in the third 24-hour period.8:54 A broken second-reef line gets repaired mid-passage using a splice guided by the Premium Ropes app, with anti-chafe tape added at a contact point.9:53 The most serious problem: a partially backed-out screw in the mainsail track jams a car, preventing the mainsail from being lowered.20:35 Darcy goes up the mast at sea to extract the screw.20:47 The crew then flies wing-on-wing overnight while assessing the track.24:39 Custom winch drums from Synergy replaced disintegrating plastic originals.3:01 A Mahi Mahi is caught and kept; a small fish is released.17:41 Stronger winds are forecast later in the passage.15:12
