A delivery crew transports a Beneteau First 300 named Rebel from Conwy Marina, North Wales, to Falmouth, Cornwall.0:36 The transit plan requires navigating the Menai Straits, specifically timing the passage under the Menai Suspension Bridge two hours before high water to hit slack tide in the Swellies, where tidal streams reach 8 knots at springs.1:36 Shortly after clearing Carnarvon Bar, the Dyneema backstay fails.2:04 The crew immediately turns back to Victoria Dock in Carnarvon, where they rig a temporary backstay using the main halyard.2:18 A replacement Dyneema line arrives at the dock, and a crew member ascends the mast to install it.2:32 The vessel then resumes the passage, motor-sailing across Cardigan Bay against the tide before reaching Smalls Lighthouse and entering the Celtic Sea.3:39 After passing Land's End and Longships, the crew completes the overnight leg to Falmouth.5:26 Proper rigging maintenance and having a contingency plan for mast support are essential for offshore deliveries.
