Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Reducing sail area early remains the most effective way to maintain control and protect equipment when wind speeds increase unexpectedly.1:23 If reefing proves insufficient, heaving-to with a triple-reefed mainsail and a storm jib or staysail provides a stable position to ride out the peak of a squall.1:39 When caught in heavy weather, avoid the instinct to enter a harbor at all costs, especially if the entrance is narrow, shallow, or located on a lee shore where breaking waves pose a significant risk of grounding.3:49 If a motor fails due to sediment-clogged fuel filters—a common issue in older tanks during heavy rolling—a vessel without sail power becomes unmanageable.5:18 If entry is unavoidable, keep a sail set to maintain steerage.7:16 In an anchorage, if wind shifts to blow from the sea toward the shore, weigh anchor immediately and head to open water to avoid being driven onto rocks or beaches.12:53 Clear the deck of all loose gear, including tenders and paddleboards, to reduce windage and prevent equipment loss.9:55
