Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A crew of three aboard a sailboat begins an 18-day Atlantic crossing from the Canary Islands, navigating a confused, steep sea state that causes the headsail to collapse intermittently.2:30 The crew reports that local chandleries in Las Palmas were depleted of whisker poles by other ARC participants, leaving the vessel without a pole to stabilize the sail in rolling conditions.2:59 To avoid a band of light winds, the crew steers a southwest heading rather than a direct route to the Caribbean, planning to turn west once they reach more favorable latitudes.21:35 The boat maintains a 20-knot wind speed while the crew manages exhaustion and seasickness during the first 24 hours.5:04 Maintenance tasks include running the watermaker to check system performance and monitoring AIS, which shows improved range following a recent cable upgrade.21:11 The crew plans to execute a wing-on-wing sail configuration once they can set up a new preventer system during daylight hours.20:50
