Cosa tratta questo video
A GGR 2026 competitor delivers a pre-dawn log from somewhere in the Atlantic, reporting that the Hydrovane self-steering allowed the boat to round up and sail the wrong direction multiple times overnight, requiring repeated course corrections.43:35 The sailor is tracking roughly 220–240° when the target is 190–200°, losing latitude to excessive westward drift of 25–30° caused by a persistent southerly wind with no easterly component.44:05 Speed runs around 4–5 knots under half a staysail and a third of a Genoa, with plans to add sail at daylight.44:17 Estimated position is near 4°30'N, 23.5–24°W, roughly 1,400–1,500 miles from the intended southward track toward Trinidad.48:36 An AIS-VHF interference problem is noted: the Ecomax AIS receiver buzzes when the VHF is on, a fault the sailor also experienced on a previous boat (Treka) during the Mini Globe Race, and the fix is mounting the Ecomax low rather than at the spreaders to limit range to 10–20 miles.59:42 The sailor notes the GGR fleet is down to 13 entrants after two Chichester class retirements and one other withdrawal.1:16:11 The log then drifts into extended off-topic reminiscences about past work, travel, and provisioning.
