Cosa tratta questo video
Nick sails from Mljet toward Pelješac in 18–23 knots of upwind breeze, reefed down and tacking through narrow gaps along the Croatian coast.▶ 0:53 Boat speed holds at 7.5–8.6 knots over the water against a one-metre swell, with VMG running around six knots upwind.▶ 1:29 The original destination was Corchis, but conditions were good enough to keep pushing north through Bardia, past the Old City, and all the way to Longishdon.▶ 1:39 Along the way the crew races windsurfers and Nick notes that crewmate Nico had to climb to reach the camera in the steep chop.▶ 1:39 The day ends at anchor with cevapi, a northerly wind, and gin.▶ 5:26 A friend named David, sailing a slower boat, meets them partway rather than covering the full distance upwind.▶ 2:29 The passage covers the Mljet–Pelješac corridor in strong northerly conditions, demonstrating that a well-reefed boat can sustain high upwind VMG in short Adriatic chop by picking gaps and tacking aggressively rather than laying a straight course.
