Cosa tratta questo video

A monohull cruising the French Riviera experiences severe rolling in a crowded anchorage due to the swell period and the boat's beam-on orientation.15:44 After a generator coolant hose failure leaves the battery bank depleted and the boat without power, the crew repairs the hose and runs the generator to restart the engine and alternator.1:29 To mitigate the uncomfortable motion, they relocate to a more secluded cove and deploy a stern anchor to keep the bow pointed into the swell.10:44 This configuration prevents the boat from beam-rolling, allowing the crew to sleep.17:00 They prioritize this setup over more protected anchorages that are notorious for fouled ground tackle, ensuring they maintain a clear path to open water for an emergency departure.28:34 The crew maintains anchor watches and monitors weather forecasts, noting that while the stern anchor provides stability, it complicates rapid departure procedures.17:42
