Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the 60-foot carbon trimaran La Vagabonde conducts offshore training drills in Malaysia to improve boat handling and reefing procedures.6:59 Operating without a diesel engine due to saltwater damage, the crew relies on electric propulsion and sail power.1:31 During practice, the helmsperson discovers that the trimaran maintains enough steerage at 20 degrees off the wind to allow for reefing, a significant improvement over their previous catamaran which required heading directly into the wind.11:09 The crew simulates high-stress conditions by performing sail maneuvers while dealing with external distractions and debris.13:06 They note that the trimaran’s responsiveness allows for immediate control during sail hoists, even before the anchor is fully retrieved.16:17 The vessel currently lacks a functional davit system for the dinghy, complicating storage.21:33 The crew concludes that consistent practice drills increase confidence in managing the large rig and complex line systems.15:39
