Hva denne videoen dekker
The owners of a 1987 Trident Warrior 38-ft sailboat, Athena, encounter intermittent friction while operating their in-mast furling system.0:33 After experiencing difficulty deploying and retracting the mainsail, the crew investigates potential causes, including foil tension, mast rake, and internal bearing lubrication.1:19 They attempt to replicate the failure by repeatedly cycling the Selden E40i electric winch, but the system functions normally during testing.7:57 The crew diverts from a planned 600-nautical-mile passage to Turks and Caicos, stopping in St. Martin to troubleshoot and visit chandleries.3:32 They clear customs on the French side of St. Martin, noting that anchoring in the bay requires a fee paid via an honor system.5:24 After failing to identify a mechanical fault, the crew completes an 81-nautical-mile overnight passage to the British Virgin Islands, primarily under power due to light winds.14:30 The intermittent nature of the furling issue remains unresolved, though the system operates without incident during the subsequent transit.17:40
