Gone with the Wynns · video

Cosa tratta questo video

A performance cruising catamaran navigates a 469-mile passage in Southeast Asia, contending with light winds and dense concentrations of unlit, non-reflective fish aggregating devices (FADs).1:08 Because these obstacles do not appear on electronic charts or radar, the crew avoids nighttime sailing to prevent collisions.9:42 The vessel utilizes a suite of five Doyle sails—including a main, Solent, self-tacking staysail, Reacher, and top-down furling asymmetrical spinnaker—to maintain movement in winds as light as five to six knots.7:16 The crew manages engine temperature issues during the final approach by alternating between diesel and electric propulsion.14:51 To navigate into the anchorage after dark, the crew relies on cross-referencing multiple satellite imagery apps against unreliable depth charts.16:24 The passage concludes with the boat anchored in El Nido, Philippines, in preparation for a scheduled haul-out for service.14:00 Proper sail selection and the use of satellite imagery are essential for maintaining progress and safety in regions with high concentrations of unmarked navigational hazards.
