Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A catamaran anchored in a bay experienced a sudden, violent microburst that produced wind gusts exceeding 50 knots, with an anemometer reading peaking at 94 knots.15:28 The crew, caught off guard by the rapid onset of the squall, struggled to secure cockpit cushions and close hatches as the wind force tore the canvas enclosure from its fastenings and swept loose gear overboard.5:41 The intensity of the gust caused the vessel to shift position significantly, dragging the dinghy of a nearby boat underneath the catamaran's hull.17:48 Following the event, the owners reset their anchor with 50 meters of chain and 70 meters of rode, deployed a long 8-meter bridle to increase shock absorption, and maintained a watch for further weather instability.11:49 While the anemometer recorded an extreme, potentially erroneous peak, the crew confirmed the event caused no structural damage beyond the torn enclosure attachments.15:28 The incident highlights the speed at which localized squalls can overwhelm a vessel at anchor, even when weather forecasts predict only moderate conditions.
