Ce que couvre cette vidéo
During a 60-mile passage from Cat Island toward Georgetown, the crew of Doodles experiences an engine failure caused by a faulty start solenoid circuit.7:09 While attempting to motor-sail in 10 to 12 knots of wind, the engine fails to crank, forcing the owner to troubleshoot the wiring under the floorboards.5:46 He eventually bypasses the ignition switch by jumping the start solenoid to restore engine power.10:04 Simultaneously, the crew manages an asymmetric spinnaker, which they decide to douse before entering the cut at Georgetown.13:15 During the dousing process, the spinnaker halyard twists, preventing the sail from lowering until the crew applies manual force to clear the jam.13:49 Upon arrival at the crowded Georgetown anchorage, the autopilot exhibits a 40-degree heading error, requiring future calibration.14:05 The vessel successfully secures a mooring among approximately 200 other boats.14:56
