Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the sailboat Gypsy prepares for a 580-nautical-mile passage from Gibraltar to the Canary Islands by provisioning for four to five days at sea and installing a new asymmetrical spinnaker from Precision Sails.13:07 To avoid paying value-added tax on the new sail, the crew moves the boat from an anchorage in Spain to a marina slip in Gibraltar, where they also refuel at lower prices.15:13 While anchored in the bay, the crew observes a nearby navy blue sailboat drag its anchor toward rocks during a strong blow, forcing the solo captain to radio for assistance before being towed to the marina.3:34 To improve electrical efficiency during the upcoming east-to-west crossing, the crew mounts two 100-watt flexible solar panels to a paddleboard stored on the port side.6:15 The crew also expresses concern regarding reported orca interactions in the Strait of Gibraltar, a known hotspot for rudder-bumping incidents.16:53 Proper sail selection and provisioning for heavy weather are essential for managing light-wind performance and potential discomfort during offshore passages.
