Cosa tratta questo video
Yann departs Marigot, Saint-Martin, on his Bénéteau Océanis 440, *Corail*, to begin a solo transatlantic passage.2:17 Before departure, he cleans the hull by hand to improve performance after a six-week stay in the lagoon.0:56 He uses OpenCPN on a touchscreen tablet for navigation and AIS monitoring, though he notes the loss of his historical chart collection and the shift toward paid digital charts.2:00 During the first 24 hours, he navigates through the passage near Anguilla, contending with 10 to 20 knots of wind and significant currents.10:22 He maintains a close-hauled point of sail, occasionally reefing the mainsail and adjusting the genoa to balance the boat.12:18 He monitors a nearby Océanis 320, *Pamplemousse*, via VHF radio, though he loses visual and AIS contact with the vessel overnight.24:03 Despite experiencing fatigue and minor equipment concerns—including a noisy furler and a temporary display blackout—he successfully clears the island chain and settles into a routine of watch-keeping and rest.16:29
