Cosa tratta questo video

Maren and Karl Otto Book, competing as double-handed sailors in the Race to the Arctic, discuss their strategy and expectations ahead of the multi-leg offshore race. Their boat carries the highest time-on-distance rating alongside a Class 40, with Zordo as their closest competitor on corrected time.1:06 The rating system scores at 12 knots of wind in a circle, which they consider a poor fit for a long-distance race; a functioning weather routing scoring system would suit them better.0:23 They carry a full sail inventory — five asymmetric spinnakers, two staysails, and four jibs — reasoning there is no point leaving sails at home.2:18 The first leg looks messy until past Egersund, near Stavanger, after which they expect a downwind finish.2:45 Both acknowledge double-handed sailing on this boat is physically demanding; Karl Otto jokes he swore off double-handed racing after a previous world championship, only to sign up again.1:49 Their stated goals are to sail the boat well, practice sail changes, keep the boat in one piece, and finish as high as the weather allows.0:49
