Cosa tratta questo video

Thilo and Leonie sail their boat from Sardinia to Portocolom, Mallorca, on the first leg of a planned circumnavigation. The crew departs from Carloforte, Sardinia, after provisioning and laundry, aiming to cross the Mediterranean during a stable weather window. During the transit, they encounter light winds, necessitating the use of a gennaker for extended periods, including overnight. The crew struggles initially to deploy the light-wind sail in the mainsail's wind shadow, eventually opting to drop the mainsail to set the gennaker effectively. They maintain a continuous watch throughout the two-night passage, navigating in darkness with minimal traffic. Upon arrival at Portocolom, they use the lighthouse to identify the anchorage entrance at night. The passage highlights the challenges of managing light-wind sail configurations and the necessity of maintaining a constant watch during offshore transits.
