O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of a Beneteau 57, *Vanishing Point*, encountered a mechanical failure of the anchor roller while departing Cat Harbor on Catalina Island.3:41 The through-bolt securing the anchor roller assembly lost its nut, causing the side plates to spread and the bolt to bend.9:22 Unable to perform a repair at sea, the owners opted to use mooring balls in Avalon rather than anchoring for the remainder of the trip.4:50 During the return passage to L.A. Harbor, the crew experienced a mainsail jam in the Leisure Furl boom system.12:37 The jam occurred because the boom angle was incorrect during furling, causing the sail to drift forward on the roller drum and bind against the mast.12:44 Additionally, the owner successfully configured three onboard cameras and a FLIR unit to display on the Axiom chartplotter.7:20 The vessel returned to its home slip to address the anchor roller damage and finalize the boat's systems.13:52
