Cosa tratta questo video
Stefan Heiberg and his partner, Oliwia, test a Bavaria 37-foot sailboat in the waters around Malta, specifically navigating between Gozo and Comino.7:20 During the passage, the crew encounters significant swell and wind, forcing them to motor into the conditions to maintain comfort.5:47 Heiberg demonstrates proper winch operation for a novice, emphasizing the importance of clockwise wraps and ensuring the line seats correctly in the self-tailing mechanism to prevent the headsail from releasing under load.2:28 To mitigate the motion of the boat in heavy swell, Heiberg adjusts the heading by 10 degrees off the wind, which reduces slamming and increases speed.11:53 The pair eventually anchors in Santa Maria Bay, Comino, to find protection from 35-knot winds and swell.7:25 They evaluate the vessel’s size and layout, noting that while the boat feels compact and high-quality, the 37-foot length feels slightly narrow for their needs.10:44
