The crew of the 60-foot catamaran *Parlay Revival* navigates the remote Fiordland region of New Zealand, moving from Doubtful Sound to Charles Sound and finally Milford Sound.0:03 In Milford Sound, the crew maneuvers the boat near Stirling Falls and Fairy Falls, encountering 30-knot winds generated by the waterfall's downdraft.8:40 To improve sail handling, the crew splices a new continuous furling line for the Code D headsail, routing it to an electric winch to eliminate the need for manual furling on the bow.16:04 Departing Milford Sound for a 447-nautical-mile passage toward Cape Reinga, the crew faces 30-knot winds and 3.5-meter swells.11:13 Due to an incoming high-pressure system, they decide to bypass Nelson and Abel Tasman to maintain a 6.2-knot average speed and capitalize on favorable winds.18:51 During the passage, the crew employs single-handed watches and deploys warps astern to manage boat speed in heavy following seas.18:19 Splicing a continuous furling line allows for safer, winch-assisted sail handling in challenging conditions.
