Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of the hybrid electric catamaran *Second Star* explores the Exumas in the Bahamas, testing the vessel’s performance across various points of sail and conditions. While anchored off Little Farmer's Key, the crew utilizes the boat's forward cockpit for protection from wind and sun.10:33 During a passage toward Georgetown, the vessel maintains speeds of 8 to 10 knots in 13 knots of apparent wind while sailing downwind.17:47 Later, the crew tests upwind performance, maintaining 7 to 8.5 knots at a 35- to 40-degree apparent wind angle in 21 knots of apparent wind.20:24 The forward-positioned helm and glass separation from the galley prevent interior lighting from compromising the helmsman's night vision.18:36 The vessel’s self-tacking jib simplifies maneuvers during upwind beats.20:41 The crew also engages in freediving and snorkeling near local reefs and caves, noting the importance of community and communication for liveaboards operating charter vessels.6:17
