A 10-ton sailboat completed a two-and-a-half-day passage from La Rochelle to Getxo, near Bilbao, encountering both 22-knot winds and extended periods of calm.7:18 During the transit, the vessel maintained a steady course in 22 knots of wind using a staysail and one reef, though the crew noted the boat felt under-canvassed in winds below 8 knots.10:21 The autopilot performed reliably in heavy conditions but struggled to maintain a consistent heading in light air and swell.12:55 A minor emergency occurred when a loose interior board jammed the head door shut while the boat was pitching in 3-meter seas; the skipper cleared the obstruction by prying the door from below.13:54 The crew experienced seasickness, which they attributed to moving between the cockpit and the cabin, and noted that their choice of food—specifically surimi—exacerbated the discomfort.16:07 The skipper identified a stiff steering issue upon arrival in the marina that requires inspection.6:30 The passage confirmed the boat's stability in heavy weather but highlighted a need for a larger light-wind sail, such as an asymmetric spinnaker or Code 0.11:56
