With 29 days remaining before a planned nonstop solo circumnavigation, the owner of With Phoenix | Oliver conducts a five-day sea trial from Port Townsend, Washington, to Neah Bay and into the Pacific.1:16 The refit includes a new sail inventory from Kraken Sails, featuring 9-ounce Hydranet primary sails—mainsail, staysail, and genoa—with 9-ounce Dacron reserves.1:40 A dedicated trysail track allows for storm sail deployment independent of the boom.2:07 The vessel also carries a Code Zero furler designed to split into two sections for downwind runs.3:23 During the trial, the sailor tests the Code Zero in 8-knot winds and practices stowing a whisker pole by securing it to jacklines.20:40 The passage plan involves a two-month shakedown period before committing to the Southern Ocean, where the sailor intends to evaluate the boat’s readiness and his own decision-making.16:04 The trial serves as a test for remote video editing and upload workflows required for planned weekly updates during the circumnavigation.3:51
