Cosa tratta questo video
During the 2018 Golden Globe Race, a massive, stationary high-pressure system in the South Atlantic is forcing the fleet into three distinct groups.0:33 Entrants Ari and Gregor experienced multiple knockdowns and wind vane damage during heavy weather, with Ari breaking the breakaway coupling on his survey pendulum rudder.8:44 Both sailors were forced to lay a hull or hand-steer in 40- to 50-knot winds and seven-meter seas.8:35 Meanwhile, Mark Slats continues to push forward under storm jib despite freezing temperatures, snow, and hail.10:56 Philippe Peche has officially retired from the race after completing a 1,500-mile transit to port using only a short, stubby tiller and no autopilot.4:55 Weather models indicate the high-pressure system will remain stagnant, trapping trailing boats like Susie and Loic in light-wind zones while the lead pack faces a developing band of strong headwinds.14:00 The race leaders are attempting to clear these weather systems to maintain their easting, while tail-enders risk further separation due to the pressure gradient.
