O que este vídeo aborda
The crew of SV Delos departs Tonga for Fiji with a guest, Dan, who is new to offshore sailing.▶ 2:16 During the passage, the crew deploys a ballooner sail in 17 knots of true wind to stabilize the monohull in following seas and minimize rolling.▶ 7:46 The crew uses the PredictWind app to monitor weather patterns and adjust their course.▶ 5:39 Mid-passage, the crew catches an albacore tuna, and they later discover a wasp infestation on deck.▶ 14:15 Upon approaching the marina at 2:00 a.m., the engine fails to start.▶ 16:56 The crew diagnoses a faulty starter motor, which they attempt to repair by cleaning terminals and swapping in a spare, eventually successfully restarting the engine to reach the dock.▶ 17:13 The passage serves as an introduction to offshore life for the guest, who experiences seasickness before acclimating to the conditions.▶ 11:50 The experience highlights the necessity of carrying functional spare parts and the challenges of maintaining older engine components during long-distance transits.
