Hva denne videoen dekker

Andy, sailing a Catalina 30 named Solé, completes a solo trip from Little Fisherman's Cove on Santa Catalina Island back to Long Beach. During the stay at Little Fisherman's Cove, he utilizes a bow and stern anchor configuration for the first time, noting that he should have deployed more stern rode.1:41 He encounters poor anchoring etiquette when a neighboring vessel anchors within 30 feet of his position.2:57

During the return passage, Andy manages a close-quarters encounter with a tanker, observing a Closest Point of Approach (CPA) of 0.22 nautical miles before the distance increases to 0.8 nautical miles.7:15 He experiences difficulty with his autopilot while sailing with the wind aft of the beam in 15 to 20 knots of wind.7:51 Hand-steering allows him to maintain speeds at or above his 6.7-knot hull speed.9:39 He concludes that reefing or striking the mainsail in those conditions would likely improve the autopilot's performance.8:38
