Sailing KYAN II a Morgan Out Island 41 Ketch · video

Hva denne videoen dekker

Shane and Sandra depart Baltimore on a Morgan OUT ISLAND 41 ketch named KYAN II for a weekend shakedown sail on the Chesapeake Bay, motor-sailing with a mizzen and small staysail in 60–65°F temperatures and 1–2 foot chop.1:45 The 37-nautical-mile outbound leg to Kent Narrows takes seven and a half hours and burns six gallons of diesel.9:17 They anchor in the Corsica River off the Chester River, choosing the south bank for wind protection, and spend three days there before returning to Baltimore.9:24 Anchoring technique gets detailed attention: Shane explains a two-line snubber system using a white primary and black backup line clipped to the anchor chain to absorb shock load.16:00 He also resets the anchor when a wind shift from the south spins the boat, and uses a distance alarm set at 37 feet to monitor drag in 10 feet of water.17:23 The return passage through Kent Narrows runs four hours under a clearing squall.21:23 Docking the 41.5-foot, 27,000-pound ketch in a 50-by-16-foot slip with full-length side docks gets a thorough walkthrough: Shane lines up 200 feet out, slows to two knots, and alternates in and out of gear to test drift, accounting for a 10–15 knot southeast wind pushing the boat to port.24:42
