Acorn To Arabella · vídeo

O que este vídeo aborda

Steve and the crew of the wooden schooner *Arabella* sail from Newburyport, Massachusetts, toward Maine, using the passage to practice boat handling and navigation. Before departure, Steve performs a rig inspection, seizing wire to prevent hardware from unscrewing and using brass scrap to protect lines from shroud chafe.0:17 During the transit, the crew practices maneuvering under power and sail, including departing a mooring in Cape Porpoise under the guidance of a consultant. The crew utilizes a Mantis shackle and coated Dyneema line to secure the anchor chain to the bowsprit, replacing temporary zip-tie depth markers with permanent webbing. While sailing down the coast of Maine in 10- to 12-knot winds, the crew discovers that *Arabella* maintains a steady course to windward without an autopilot or anyone at the tiller when the mainsail, staysail, and mizzen are properly balanced.
