O que este vídeo aborda
Attempting an inside passage at Portland Bill in light winds, a sailing vessel gets caught in a five-knot tidal current and is dragged into the race.5:15 The crew intended to hug the shoreline to avoid the rough water associated with the confluence of two tidal streams, but the loss of wind speed rendered the engine insufficient to maintain their track against the cross-current.10:59 The boat is pulled into heavy overfalls and confused seas before clearing the area.10:40 The crew concludes that the safest approach to Portland Bill is to maintain an offshore berth of at least five miles to avoid the eddies and race.11:21 Following the incident, the vessel continues west, covering 132 nautical miles in 38 hours before diverting to Falmouth due to a forecast of light winds.23:18
