A sailboat crew navigating the coast of Corsica experiences a mechanical failure when the rudder strikes the propeller, causing significant damage to the blades and the shaft.8:15 The issue originates during a period of high winds, with gusts reaching 40 to 50 knots, which forced the vessel to seek shelter in a small bay.6:55 After the initial impact, the crew attempts to transit 30 miles to Ajaccio while dealing with heavy beam seas and rolling conditions.9:07 Upon arrival in Ajaccio, the boat requires a tow into the harbor due to the compromised propulsion system.11:23 To assess the damage, the crew uses a small, portable scuba tank to dive beneath the hull and inspect the bent propeller and the detached shaft component.13:51 Despite attempting to remove the propeller with metric wrenches to bend the blades back into shape, the part remains seized on the shaft.16:35 The crew plans to continue repair efforts while docked in the city.
