Nahoa encounters steep, short-period waves and 34-knot true wind while sailing off the coast of Brazil, resulting in a top speed of 19.6 knots and a cockpit swamped by a breaking wave.9:12 To manage the boat’s speed and prevent pooping in following seas, the crew deploys a makeshift drogue consisting of two long mooring lines tied together with a large knot at the end.11:57 They also install an old boogie board across the transom to deflect water.13:21 The crew notes that the boat’s tendency to hobby-horse and struggle to keep pace with the wave train contributes to the risk of taking water over the stern.11:32 Throughout the passage, the crew maintains a focus on crew rest and safety while navigating toward a favorable current.7:01 The experience reinforces the importance of gaining offshore experience incrementally, starting with local sailing before progressing to ocean crossings and more extreme conditions.19:50
