Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the 4-year liveaboard *Zephyr* encounters inconsistent wind and sea states while sailing from the Bahamas to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. During the passage, the crew struggles to maintain sail shape and boat speed due to shifting winds and a rolly swell. They attempt to use a spinnaker in light air but abandon it when the wind shifts ahead of the beam.4:53 Later, they deploy a whisker pole for wing-on-wing sailing, but the motion of the boat makes it impossible to keep the sails full, forcing a return to motor sailing.13:46 The crew reports significant frustration with weather conditions that failed to match forecasts, leading to frequent sail changes and uncomfortable motion.10:43 A failure to close a center hatch results in water on the cabin couch during a swell.7:03 The passage lasts three and a half days, with the crew eventually finding steady wind near the end of the trip.14:49
