Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A solo sailor transits from Long Beach Harbor to Two Harbors on Catalina Island aboard a Catalina Yachts 30. The passage covers approximately 20 nautical miles in light winds, requiring a mix of sailing and motoring to reach the destination after sunset. To improve reefing efficiency, the sailor installs a DIY dog bone system using a soft shackle and two quarter-inch stainless steel rings attached to the reefing rivet, which provides extra clearance for the reef hook.6:41 Additional cockpit modifications include adding custom handholds to the dodger for improved safety and grip.7:32 Upon arrival at Two Harbors, the sailor performs a side-tie maneuver to visit a friend’s Alden 32 motor sailer, a vessel recently purchased for under $10,000 that features a watermaker and extensive electrical upgrades.19:59 The passage concludes with the sailor preparing to meet his wife, Misty, in Avalon.22:30
