Cosa tratta questo video

Aubrey, the solo sailor aboard the 51-foot Formosa *Miss Lone Star*, manages engine repairs and single-handed sailing maneuvers in the La Cruz Anchorage, Mexico. After experiencing a "click-click" failure when attempting to start the 120-horsepower Ford Lehman engine, she removes and refurbishes the starter motor due to corrosion caused by a leaking exhaust elbow.14:13 Despite cleaning the battery terminals and solenoid connections, the engine fails to crank until she discovers and secures a loose ground wire.20:43 While operating solo, she navigates the 23-ton vessel in 22-to-25-knot winds, using the autopilot to maintain rudder control while manually operating the windlass to retrieve a 135-pound anchor.10:35 She notes that the heavy bow hardware and the mainsail’s size present significant physical challenges for single-handed operation, prompting plans for future upgrades like an electric winch and a stack pack.4:38 The experience highlights the necessity of methodical troubleshooting for engine electrical faults and the physical demands of managing a heavy, older cruising boat without crew.
