O que este vídeo aborda
Dave and Bill sail the Westerly Yachts Ltd. Oceanquest 35 Zephyr IV from Portsmouth on a two-day loop through the Solent, overnighting at Newtown Creek before visiting Marchwood Yacht Club on Southampton Water.▶ 0:12 Leaving Portsmouth Harbour in 19 knots of southeasterly wind with the ebb tide building under them, they take the inshore passage past Gilkicker Fort and pick up the last available mooring buoy at Newtown Creek for a quiet night.▶ 0:12 The following morning they ride the flood tide west to Marchwood Yacht Club, a club recommended by a channel subscriber.▶ 1:55 Marchwood offers visitor pontoons at modest cost, swinging moorings for members, and a water taxi service between pontoons and moorings; the outer pontoon face serves as a staging area for departing boats.▶ 2:51 The clubhouse bar sells beer for £1 a pint, and the fish and chip supper is described as extraordinarily large.▶ 3:36 The return to Gosport the next morning covers the distance from Marchwood in roughly two and a half hours, mostly in light wind of 9–14 knots, with a final burst of 17 knots off Warsash pushing boat speed to nearly 7 knots.▶ 5:23
