Cosa tratta questo video
Djé and Nad sail their catamaran from Méro, Dominica, to Guadeloupe, navigating the channel between the islands during a period of 18 to 30-knot winds.11:23 To manage the conditions, they maintain a reefed mainsail and a full genoa, occasionally adjusting the headsail to maintain speeds between 6.5 and 8.5 knots.1:07 The crew reports that the vessel remains significantly more stable and comfortable under sail than under engine power in the choppy, two-meter seas.19:55 During the transit, the boat encounters localized squalls and cross-seas, resulting in water entering the cockpit, but the rigging—recently tensioned in the Grenadines—performs reliably.16:46 Upon reaching Guadeloupe, the crew struggles to find an available anchorage due to high boat density and extensive fishing gear, eventually anchoring after several attempts.27:46 The passage confirms that proper sail trim and consistent speed help the catamaran handle rougher sea states more effectively.
