O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of Jade, a 15-meter sailboat, prepares for a passage from the Canary Islands to Cape Verde by staging in San Sebastian de la Gomera and El Hierro.2:34 To manage fatigue during the transit, they install a dedicated aft berth and pre-prepare meals.4:15 During the crossing, they use an Iridium Ingo satellite system to monitor weather files, which forecast winds increasing to 25 knots.8:03 When light winds initially prevail, the crew deploys a 120m2 code zero sail to increase speed by two knots, later switching back to the genoa as wind speeds rise.6:33 The vessel encounters 4-meter swells, causing water to wash over the decks and soak the cockpit cushions.14:42 During the passage, the primary GPS unit in the navigation suite fails, forcing the crew to rely on redundant tablet and phone-based systems.17:37 The crew maintains an average speed of 125 nautical miles per day while carrying a 25-ton load.17:04
