O que este vídeo aborda

A crew preparing for a transatlantic crossing from the Canary Islands performs final boat maintenance and logistics in Las Palmas, La Gomera, and El Hierro. To facilitate downwind sailing, the crew installs a Dyneema soft shackle and a low-friction ring at the top of the furling gear, allowing them to fly two headsails simultaneously on separate poles.7:53 They also fabricate an emergency tiller from steel angles and hardwood to connect to the rudder stock and replace a broken marine toilet.9:09 The crew spends two weeks in Las Palmas before sailing to La Gomera and El Hierro to wait for a favorable weather window.7:12 They plan to sail toward Barbados or St. Vincent, choosing the latter to simplify COVID-19 testing requirements while cruising the Grenadines.17:46 The crew uses the time in isolated anchorages to prepare meals, scrub the hull, and conduct minor sail repairs before departing on a weather window that allows for a more northerly trade wind route.12:31
