Hva denne videoen dekker
A Neel 43 trimaran, provided by Performance Yacht Sales, makes a passage from Florida to Bimini, Bahamas, to test the vessel's performance and handling.1:23 The 43-foot trimaran features a single engine and a powerful bow thruster, which assists with maneuvering in tight quarters and at fuel docks.4:34 During the crossing, the crew encounters 18-knot winds and significant Gulf Stream current, which pushes the boat north and necessitates a tactical approach to reach the island.15:10 The boat maintains speeds of 8 to 10 knots while sailing, though the crew experiences seasickness during the rough, head-on sea state.15:09 Upon arrival in Bimini, the crew completes customs clearance online, incurring a $100 after-hours fee, and docks at the Big Game Club marina due to the vessel's 24-foot beam.18:28 The trimaran’s design, which includes a dual-sheet main system for leech control and a storm jib, allows for responsive handling and high speeds in varied wind conditions.4:54
