Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A Lagoon 450 catamaran completes a 3,000-mile circumnavigation of New Zealand, navigating the treacherous west coast and rounding Cape Reinga.14:25 During a passage in 30-knot winds and 15-foot seas, the crew tows large polypropylene warps behind the stern to prevent surfing and maintain control in steep, 9-second period swells.4:40 The vessel utilizes PredictWind forecasts to time the transit around the northern tip of the North Island, catching a 3-to-4 knot favorable current at the meeting point of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean.7:06 Upon arrival in Opua, the crew troubleshoots a binding headsail furler, discovering that air pressure fluctuations within the sealed Selden swivel unit caused the lip seals to bind against the shaft.16:00 Releasing the trapped pressure restores the unit's function, avoiding a costly replacement.16:08 The crew also identifies a structural crack in the anodized aluminum bowsprit, requiring removal and repair before departing for Fiji.17:10
