Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The Sailing Brothers crew completes an 82.5-mile overnight passage from their anchorage in Vanuatu to Port Sandwich on Malakula Island without using their engine.20:14 After waiting six days for a weather window to clear 30-to-37-knot trade winds, the pair departs at 2:00 p.m. to ensure a daylight arrival.4:14 They navigate the 1979-built vessel through island passages using a wind vane for steering, maintaining a course that avoids reef hazards while managing 15-to-25-knot easterly winds.12:11 The crew collects 75 liters of water from a local garden hose before departure, noting their reliance on local sources due to the lack of yacht insurance and a formal survey for their aging boat.1:14 Despite light winds between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. that slowed progress to two knots, they successfully sail the entire distance and anchor in 15 to 17 meters of water under sail power alone.16:56
