Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Solo sailor Nova Loman navigates a 7-ton long-keel sailboat through a gusty archipelago in 30-knot winds using only paper charts and visual transit lines.18:37 To maintain position without marking the charts, she uses tape arrows to track her progress.0:57 During the passage, she encounters unpredictable wind shifts ranging from 5 to 40 knots, forcing her to strike sails and rely on engine power to clear breakers and navigate narrow channels.3:33 She identifies a safe entrance by aligning two sets of transit triangles, though she experiences a near-miss when the boat fails to turn promptly in high winds, requiring an emergency engine burst to avoid rocks.13:24 Upon arrival at the anchorage, she deploys a 5:1 scope on her anchor chain to manage the shifting winds and potential dragging.17:55 She confirms her navigation accuracy by comparing her manual track against a plotter recording, which she kept covered during the transit.14:20
