Cosa tratta questo video
To prepare for a storm while docked at Zladen, Croatia, Nick from 45 Degrees Sailing implemented a redundant mooring strategy to manage 30-knot winds and potential shifts in wind direction.1:02 He secured the yacht with two bow lines and two stern lines, then added a windward midships spring line to act as a shock absorber and prevent the boat from drifting or slamming against the dock.2:00 He maintained a significant distance from the dock to allow for the swim platform to be raised and to prevent contact during heavy surging.4:21 Additional precautions included lashing the dinghy, removing the passerelle, and tightly furling the headsail with extra wraps of the sheet to prevent accidental unfurling.8:31 He also secured deck cushions and cleared loose gear to reduce windage.8:52 By proactively adjusting lines as the wind shifted from the southeast to the northwest, the boat remained stable at 90 degrees to the dock throughout the storm.6:17 Redundant lines and proper tensioning prevent structural damage and collisions with the dock during high-wind events.
