Hva denne videoen dekker

Nandji, a Tayana 47 CC, departs Cape Town after an extended refit and sails 50 miles north to Dassen Island off the South African coast — the first leg of a planned 7,000-nautical-mile Southern Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean via St. Helena and Brazil.0:39 The new Yanmar 110 engine runs its break-in hours at 2,500 RPM during the motored passage, but Josh notes the undersized prop wastes most of the engine's power: load reads only 36% at 2,500 RPM when it should be 70–80%, with a prop swap planned before the Atlantic crossing.6:30 The next stop is Saldanha, described as a protected anchorage close to provisioning.22:42 At Dassen Island, the boat anchors in flat, calm water in a southerly — Josh calls it the best anchorage in Africa — surrounded by whales within two meters of the stern, African penguins crossing sand dunes, dolphins, and seals.10:29 The crew uses the Weather Pro app for passage timing, crediting a one-day delay for avoiding 50-knot winds in the marina.4:27 Running a new engine at varied RPMs across its first 10–30 hours matters more than chasing speed during break-in.6:34
