Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Vlad sails his Amel 60 from Rodney Bay, St. Lucia, to Le Marin, Martinique, navigating 25-knot winds and significant swell.0:55 Before departing, he refuels at a duty-free dock in St. Lucia, saving 30 percent on 350 liters of diesel.3:01 He prepares the boat by stowing fenders and lines, and he rigs a new inner staysail, which requires running backstays to support the mast against increased sail loads.4:28 During the passage, he encounters steep, shallow-water waves that wash over the cockpit, prompting him to reef the storm staysail to maintain stability.7:30 Despite the rough conditions and a 23-knot wind at the destination, he successfully completes a solo Mediterranean-style mooring in Le Marin.18:00 He maintains a steady speed of 7 knots throughout the transit, noting that the boat’s protected cockpit keeps him dry and secure despite the heavy motion.15:17 The passage confirms that the Amel 60 handles high-wind, short-period wave conditions effectively when the sail plan is adjusted for the sea state.
