Hva denne videoen dekker

During a 21-day Atlantic crossing, the crew of Jibsea performs routine maintenance and sail adjustments to manage light winds and uncomfortable sea states. While motoring in calm conditions, the crew services winches, replaces a furling line, and repairs a damaged webbing slug on the mainsail.3:21 As the boat approaches the Caribbean, the crew encounters sargassum and catches mahi-mahi. To improve stability in short, messy waves, the crew experiments with sail configurations, initially jibing an asymmetrical spinnaker to maintain a comfortable motion before eventually dousing it to hoist the mainsail and headsail. The crew shifts their daily routine by three hours to accommodate the heat and maintain a consistent 24-hour watch schedule. Despite the light winds, the vessel maintains an average speed of six to eight knots.4:31 The passage marks the longest duration for the crew at 21 days, with approximately 700 nautical miles remaining to their destination.
