Cosa tratta questo video
During a high-wind sail near the Coronado Islands, the crew of *Into the Mystic* lost control of the starboard jib sheet after the line pulled completely through the lead block.7:13 Because the sheet lacked a stopper knot, the sail flogged violently in the wind.8:46 The skipper turned the boat into the wind to depower the sail, allowing him to retrieve the loose line and re-thread it through the deck hardware.8:52 The incident highlighted the necessity of securing stopper knots at the ends of all jib sheets to prevent them from unreeving during heavy weather.6:22 Following the incident, the crew also replaced their spreader lights with LED units, requiring the skipper to ascend the mast in a bosun's chair.10:01 They established a two-person communication system for mast work and successfully installed the new lighting, which improved deck visibility for night operations.18:48
