Ce que couvre cette vidéo
On day 12 of an Atlantic crossing from La Palma to Martinique, the crew struggles with inconsistent wind conditions ranging from 5 to 20 knots.0:08 Frequent wind shifts and rolls complicate steering for both the electric autopilot and the manual helm, forcing Javi to hand-steer for extended periods.Watch The vessel, which carries rod rigging rather than wire, suffers a failure of a terminal shackle on the backstay. The crew initially fears a rod failure but confirms the damage is limited to a low-quality shackle, which they successfully replace. The boat has approximately 1,381 nautical miles remaining of a total planned route of 2,580 miles, with the crew expecting to cross the halfway point within 80 miles. They report similar difficulties with sail configuration and wind angles compared to another vessel heading to Puerto Rico, noting that the prevailing east-northeast winds make maintaining a consistent downwind or broad reach course challenging.
