Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A solo sailor completed an 11,500-nautical-mile Pacific crossing over two and a half years aboard a 1965 Aulberg 30 sloop named Triteia.10:34 After purchasing the neglected vessel for $2,400, the owner invested $30,000 and four years into a refit to prepare for blue-water cruising.2:07 The voyage began in August 2021 from Marina Del Rey, California, bound for Hawaii.2:31 Mid-passage, the boat suffered total rudder failure after striking a submerged object; the sailor rigged a drogue to steer the remaining distance.2:45 Subsequent legs included stops in French Polynesia, American Samoa, and Fiji, where engine failure caused by seawater entering the exhaust pipe forced the sailor to navigate reefs and harbors under sail alone.6:18 The final 1,200-nautical-mile passage across the Tasman Sea concluded in Sydney, Australia, after 13 days.10:13 The journey highlights the necessity of self-reliance in managing mechanical failures and heavy-weather sailing without an engine.
