Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A 24-hour, 87-mile overnight passage from Calabash Bay, Long Island, to Pittstown, Crooked Island, requires beating into 12–22 knot north-easterly winds and fighting a persistent 0.5 to 1-knot head current.1:36 The crew performs minor maintenance on the standing rigging before departure, tightening turnbuckles by one full turn to address slack.3:32 During the transit, the vessel maintains an average speed of 4.1 knots while close-hauled, eventually reefing the genoa and main sail to manage increasing wind speeds and sea states.23:58 Navigation involves monitoring shipping traffic and adjusting the course to account for a steep drop-off in depth near the destination, where the seabed shelves from 300 meters to 5 meters.23:48 The crew notes that a local lighthouse at the anchorage entrance is non-functional.22:29 The passage concludes with the vessel anchoring in the vicinity of Land Rail Point, Crooked Island, after navigating around reef hazards and managing sail trim to maintain an optimal upwind angle.18:09
