O que este vídeo aborda
Nikki and Jason Wynn test the performance capabilities of a new catamaran in light wind conditions to compare its efficiency against their previous cruising boat, Curiosity. In 12 knots of true wind, the performance vessel maintains 9.5 knots of speed using a main, drifter, and spinnaker staysail.3:00 The crew demonstrates the ease of handling a top-down furler for the drifter, which eliminates the need for a traditional sail sock and allows for simple furling via a winch.7:50 The boat maintains 12 knots of speed in 16 knots of true wind while sailing at a 110-degree true wind angle.11:41 The transition to a performance catamaran aims to maximize sailing time in light air and minimize motoring, potentially shortening passage durations by days.4:21 The test concludes with a navigation through a turbulent pass and a retrieval of a dropped headset from the water.16:51 Performance catamarans offer significantly higher speeds in light air compared to traditional cruising designs, allowing for more consistent sailing in varied weather.
