Cosa tratta questo video

A 290-mile passage from Madeira to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria took one day and 21 hours, with the boat maintaining an average speed of over 6 knots and reaching a maximum of 10.3 knots.14:03 The crew encountered 25 to 30 knots of wind and 2-meter seas, necessitating two reefs in the mainsail during the initial leg.1:23 Near the Selvagens Islands, the crew experienced a temporary failure of the navigation instruments and compass, which they attributed to magnetic interference.6:35 During the transit, Javi identified the source of intermittent saltwater in the bilge: the PSS dripless shaft seal vent tube was not sufficiently elevated above the waterline.17:33 When the boat heeled or rolled to starboard in heavy seas, water surged out of the tube into the bilge.18:48 Javi resolved the issue by rerouting the vent tube to an existing antisiphon valve line that discharges through the stern.19:07 The passage concluded with a high-speed approach to Las Palmas in large following seas.14:03
