O que este vídeo aborda
Istvan Kopar approaches the Hobart drop point in Tasmania, sailing his yacht through the D'Entrecasteaux Channel between Bruny Island and the Tasmanian mainland. The vessel, a Tradewind 35, maintains a clean hull despite some barnacle growth on the counter stern. Kopar utilizes a twin-spreader mast rig with a staysail stay and carries an orange tri-sail lashed to the cabin top. His Windpilot self-steering system remains operational, and he successfully manages his fuel reserves by sailing until reaching the wind shadow near Kingston Beach before engaging the engine. The boat previously sought a port of refuge to avoid severe weather conditions. Kopar, an experienced sailor on his third circumnavigation, has faced significant electronics failures during the race but reports the rigging, mast, and steering systems remain sound. Other race participants, including Susie Goodall and Uku Randmaa, have also navigated recent heavy weather in the Southern Ocean.
