Cosa tratta questo video
The catamaran Mistertong sails from Anse à la Barque, Guadeloupe, to the Îles des Saintes, a 4.5-hour passage involving 15–16 knots of wind and a close-hauled point of sail.1:19 During the transit, the crew manages reefing in the mainsail to handle changing wind conditions and sea states, noting significant current and potential hazards near the rocks of the southern pass.6:24 Upon arrival at the Saintes, the crew anchors in Grande Baie, where they observe rapid depth changes and strong currents.7:56 While inspecting the vessel's interior, the owner discovers structural rot and evidence of previous cosmetic concealment behind a trampoline attachment point.25:07 The damage stems from improperly sealed through-deck fasteners that allowed water intrusion into the wooden support structure.28:35 The owner plans to replace the trampolines and perform structural repairs, though he debates whether to execute the work immediately or defer the project until reaching Le Marin, Martinique.31:39
