Cosa tratta questo video

A Beneteau 57 named Vanishing Point departs LA Harbor on a Tuesday evening for an overnight passage to San Diego, approximately 65 miles.▶ 0:11 The Raymarine autopilot builds the route, threading west of three oil rigs between the northbound shipping lane — a tight corridor the crew considers bypassing by going east inside the rigs.▶ 0:34 Wind drops from 20 knots to near nothing at departure, then fills to 10–15 knots at 60–70 degrees, pushing the boat to 8.8 knots SOG with noticeably improved motion once the sails dampen beam swell.▶ 1:37 The crew arrives off Point Loma around 4:30 a.m. and enters San Diego via the main channel, passing Zuniga Shoals — a roadstead anchorage where liveaboards anchor outside the marina system, exposed to southerlies that periodically beach boats on Coronado Island.▶ 3:50 In San Diego, a Rigworks crew tunes the rig; Mark and Chris also replace seized, rotted sheaves in the deck organizer, which had prevented the headsail from fully deploying.▶ 6:33 The return to LA sees 16–18 knots true, 15–20 degrees of heel, and speeds in the high sevens.▶ 11:44 On arrival, the in-boom furling mainsail jams when the sail foot catches on a guide roller between the boom tracks — freeing it requires slackening the foot to clear the roller.▶ 15:36
