O que este vídeo aborda

A 30-foot sailboat transits north along the York Peninsula, Australia, from Shelburne Bay to the Escape River and through the Albany Passage.0:10 The passage requires timing the tidal flow to navigate the narrow channel between the mainland and Albany Island, where the vessel encounters light winds and minimal current.6:50 After rounding Cape York, the boat proceeds to an anchorage at Horn Island in the Torres Strait.9:45 To ensure the anchor set in the poor holding ground at Horn Island, the operator runs the engine at 3000 RPM in reverse.10:43 This maneuver damages the transmission’s reverse plates, which had been previously swapped with worn forward plates during maintenance in New Zealand.11:03 The resulting debris eventually compromises the forward gears during the subsequent passage toward Darwin.11:14
