Hva denne videoen dekker

A 38-ft sailboat, Paragon, encounters 40-knot winds and heavy seas while on a passage from Greenland to Reykjavik, Iceland.0:12 During the transit, the CPT autopilot shear pins break under the strain of downwind steering, forcing the crew to hand-steer until repairs are completed.4:30 A massive wave strikes the cockpit, smashing a stratiglass panel and flooding the space to seat level.19:08 The water enters the engine room through an air vent, soaking the electrical system and frying the boat's 80-pound inverter.21:01 With the inverter inoperable, the crew loses the ability to charge camera and computer batteries.22:36 The vessel maintains a speed of approximately 5 knots under a reduced staysail, with the crew alternating three-hour watch shifts.14:33 Despite the damage and the loss of AC power, the boat remains structurally sound as it continues toward its destination.21:43 The incident demonstrates how cockpit flooding can compromise engine room electronics through non-watertight ventilation points.
