Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Sceptre, a 12-metre America's Cup racing yacht launched in 1958, was delivered from Portishead to Hamble — roughly 400 miles in 48 hours.5:20 Steve and crew took the passage through the Bristol Channel, where the boat's deck proved far from watertight and the exposed helm position left the crew soaked.2:31 Two reefs and a number-three jib in 20–25 knots of wind drove Sceptre to speeds of 11–12 knots.3:08 Crew wore multiple merino base layers under full foulies to manage the conditions.2:47 The boat was built for speed, not comfort, and the passage confirmed that distinction: fast passages on classic racing yachts come with wet, exposed conditions that modern cruising boats would not impose.2:23 The Bristol Channel leg was the hardest stretch; conditions eased enough before the River Hamble approach for the crew to dry out.4:57 The delivery covered the full passage without mechanical issues, with the primary challenge being the boat's open, wet deck rather than navigation or gear failure.
