Hva denne videoen dekker
A 600-nautical-mile shakedown cruise from Vietnam to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, on a new trimaran results in multiple equipment failures and crew illness.0:48 During a 50-knot squall, the staysail tack snaps, causing the sail to flog violently and the furling drum to break loose.22:09 A crew member is briefly lifted into the air while attempting to secure the sheet.23:30 The vessel subsequently suffers total propulsion loss when both the diesel engine and electric drive system fail.26:21 Throughout the passage, the crew manages heavy weather by reefing the main sail and sailing downwind to maintain stability.29:31 Interior conditions deteriorate as a leaking hatch soaks the cabin carpet, while the hosts contend with seasick, feverish children.13:50 Despite the mechanical breakdowns and rough conditions, the boat maintains speeds of 12 to 15 knots under sail.12:30 The crew eventually reaches their destination after the weather clears and the children recover.5:36 Proper reefing and downwind tactics allow for boat control even when propulsion systems are offline.
