Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of Mirage takes the boat offshore specifically to test two downwind sails: a Code 0 and a Gennaker, both new to owner Vlad.Watch The boat is equipped with an automatic furling system for the Code 0, which Vlad describes as unfamiliar and untested.0:23 The session begins with the mainsail half-open to the first batten while the crew assesses the angle — settling on 90 degrees as the right position for the Code 0.0:53 Once deployed, boat speed reaches 9.8 knots in 21–22 knots of apparent wind, with the sail up in roughly two minutes.4:31 The crew discusses furling technique: bearing away to reduce load on the furler before rolling the sail, and using the Gennaker for angles where the Code 0 is less effective.5:36 A key point raised is that the furler requires pressure to be eased before furling, achieved by bearing off slightly.6:26 The Gennaker is then deployed and tested at deeper angles. The session is labeled Part 1, indicating the evaluation continues in a subsequent installment.
