Cosa tratta questo video
A Dufour 500 Grand Large named Josephine — 15.10 m LOA, 14-tonne displacement, 2.3 m draft, 75 hp engine, 500 L fuel capacity — departs from the Lungotevere near Isola Sacra, Rome, bound for Sardinia via two overnight stops.1:49 The first leg covers roughly 70 miles to the anchorage at Isola di Giannutri, arriving after ten hours of motoring in near-calm conditions with light wind and residual swell; the crew anchors in 32 meters of water.3:07 At 4 a.m. the following morning, rising easterly wind and building seas prompt an early departure before conditions deteriorate.4:11 The second leg runs 90 miles to Porto Vecchio, Corsica, motoring at 6 knots in no wind, passing the Porto Vecchio lighthouse and the beach at Santa Giulia.5:51 The passage illustrates a standard delivery-crew approach: monitor wind before committing to a leg, depart early to stay ahead of deteriorating weather, and run the engine when wind is absent rather than wait.
