Cosa tratta questo video
A 50-year-old 46-foot Baltic yacht, the first hull built by Baltic Yachts, underwent a 13-month comprehensive refit at the shipyard in Jakobstad, Finland, to mark the company's 50th anniversary.0:14 Following the refit, the owner and a crew of three attempted a 1,000-nautical-mile delivery passage from Jakobstad to Oslo.5:12 While the initial leg across the Gulf of Bothnia provided ideal spinnaker conditions, the vessel encountered severe weather in the Baltic Sea as it approached Gotland.5:45 Winds intensified from 12 m/s to sustained gusts of 22 m/s, creating steep, short-period waves that frequently swamped the cockpit.7:22 The crew maintained three reefs in the mainsail and a partially furled genoa, but the lack of a smaller headsail option limited their ability to adjust sail plan for the conditions.8:17 Due to crew fatigue and the severity of the weather, the vessel diverted to Sandhamn, Sweden, joining approximately 100 other boats seeking shelter during the Gotland Runt regatta.9:33 The owner later completed the journey to Oslo via the Göta Canal.17:20
