Erik Aanderaa sails his 35-ft boat, Tessie, 60 nautical miles from the island of Halten to Rørvik, Norway, through the Folla Ocean in 35-knot westerly winds and 4- to 5-meter breaking seas.0:08 To manage the heavy following seas, he uses a 13-square-meter storm jib and maintains a beam reach to keep wind pressure on the sail while avoiding the shoals and back-bouncing swells near the rocky coastline.6:28 He relies on a Hydrovane for mechanical self-steering, noting its stability in high waves compared to electronic autopilots.11:24 During the passage, he performs a jibe to navigate around shoals near the coast, briefly engaging the autopilot to manage the boat while manually adjusting the storm jib.13:45 The boat experiences a broach as wind speeds reach 38 knots near the approach to Rørvik.14:46 Reducing sail area remains the primary technique for maintaining control in heavy weather.6:45
