Cosa tratta questo video

After a two-month stay in the Azores, the crew of the Millennial Falcon prepares for a passage to Madeira.1:00 Before departing, they perform a hull cleaning in the marina to remove significant growth and replace the zinc on the propeller.9:01 During a short shakedown sail to test the hull and systems, the helmsman struggles with prop wash while docking in a crosswind, nearly colliding with the pier.3:33 The crew adopts a strict lifejacket policy modeled after the Clipper Race, requiring gear to be worn at all times unless conditions are below 22 knots with two people on deck during daylight.10:01 Upon final departure, they encounter 13 to 20 knots of wind and confused two-meter seas.12:36 They initially carry a full sail plan with a staysail but douse the staysail when the wind shifts aft to improve downwind performance.15:26 The crew engages the Hydrovane to manage steering and reduce battery consumption.13:39 Proper boat preparation and slow, methodical setup prevent early-passage exhaustion.13:45
