Hva denne videoen dekker

A custom aluminum expedition sailboat lost all electronic navigation, autopilot, and instrument data nine hours into a 267-nautical-mile passage from Seyðisfjörður, Iceland, to the Faroe Islands.▶ 4:11 The crew experienced a total system failure, including the loss of GPS, wind, speed, and depth readings on their MFD, forcing them to hand-steer for the remaining 36 hours of the trip.▶ 4:15 They attempted to troubleshoot by isolating the autopilot and checking the ITC5 junction box for corrosion, but the electronics remained offline, save for a brief, intermittent 15-minute recovery.▶ 13:42 In 10-foot following seas, the crew maintained one-hour steering shifts, using a compass and a flashlight to navigate.▶ 9:50 They arrived at the Faroe Islands at midnight, relying on prior local knowledge to navigate the entrance and dock in a narrow slip despite a two-and-a-half-knot cross-current.▶ 14:43 The crew successfully docked without instruments by visually compensating for the current and using Navionics on a mobile device to verify depth.▶ 17:09
