Ce que couvre cette vidéo

During the 2025 Fastnet Race, an 82-foot maxi sailboat completed the course from the Fastnet Rock to the finish line in Cherbourg.▶ 0:10 The crew navigated the return leg downwind, utilizing an asymmetric spinnaker and a preventer rigged to a heavy-duty winch to mitigate the risk of an unintended jibe.▶ 0:54 To ensure lines run freely without kinking or twisting, the crew flaked braided ropes instead of coiling them, a technique that prevents twists from jamming in blocks or sheaves.▶ 5:05 During the final night, the boat’s Raymarine Axiom navigation system failed, requiring the helm to steer by compass and visual reference until the system was reset.▶ 12:28 The vessel, weighing 25 tons, maintained speeds of 12 to 13 knots during the final approach.▶ 7:31 Navigating the Alderney Race, or Raz Blanchard, required careful timing to avoid adverse tidal conditions.▶ 8:44 The race concluded at the Cherbourg finish line after approximately 52 hours of sailing.▶ 13:36
