Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of a Hunter 37C, anchored in Puerto Rico, attempts to install a Raymarine ST4000 autopilot system while preparing for the arrival of Tropical Storm Laura.4:45 The installation project stalls when the crew discovers the wheel spokes are too thick for the drive unit and the unit’s internal belt is degraded.7:40 As the storm intensifies, the crew experiences 30-to-50-knot gusts, leading to the failure of a solar panel mount and damage to the bimini, which they neglected to remove.10:11 The crew deploys additional anchor lines and monitors the storm’s progress using the Windy app.10:26 Despite the high winds, both anchors hold throughout the event, though other vessels in the harbor break loose during the passage of the eyewall.16:45 The experience highlights the necessity of removing canvas and securing deck gear well before a storm’s arrival, regardless of initial weather forecasts.
