O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of SV Delos departs French Polynesia for a 950-nautical-mile passage to Beveridge Reef, with Tonga as a potential alternative destination depending on swell conditions and mooring availability.▶ 2:00 Using PredictWind models, the crew monitors a low-pressure system expected to bring 20-to-25-knot winds and 5-meter swells.▶ 0:55 During the initial days, the crew struggles with light, inconsistent winds, forcing them to motor-sail and adjust their route to avoid a windless hole.▶ 8:33 To maintain speed while running dead downwind, they deploy a dual-headsail configuration using the Genoa on the port side and a ballooner on the starboard side, supported by downwind poles.▶ 17:11 The crew also monitors their new Battle Born lithium battery bank via a Bluetooth-enabled hub and system-monitoring app, which provides individual battery voltage, temperature, and state-of-charge data.▶ 10:30 Despite initial seasickness and technical challenges with an asymmetrical spinnaker hoist, the crew manages the vessel’s transition from a 10-month period of inactivity to offshore sailing.▶ 7:24
