Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Doodles, a catamaran leading a seven-boat flotilla through the Bahamas, dragged anchor at 3 a.m. in White Sound, Green Turtle Key, during a 30-knot squall.11:17 The vessel drifted perilously close to a dock, causing the anchor chain to castle and jam the windlass.11:51 To clear the boat, the crew used the dinghy to tow the bow while simultaneously operating the engines in opposing gears to rotate the hull away from the dock.11:39 The anchor remained snagged on an underwater obstruction, forcing the owner to dive into the water at night to manually dislodge it from the chain.12:03 After retrieving the anchor, the crew secured a nearby mooring ball to stabilize the vessel.17:09 Earlier that day, the crew practiced man-overboard drills and navigated outside the reef in 20-knot winds to reach the anchorage when tidal conditions prevented an inside passage.0:48 Proper sail balance and engine management are essential for maneuvering a catamaran in tight quarters during high-wind anchor drags.
