O que este vídeo aborda

A 95-mile overnight passage from Yamba to the Gold Coast in a catamaran results in a blown mainsail after the crew encounters 20-knot winds and a rough, current-against-wind sea state off Ballina.9:26 The sail sustains a one-square-meter tear at the second reef point, forcing the crew to drop the sail and continue under bare poles for the remainder of the transit.12:35 Upon arrival at the Gold Coast, a sailmaker from Evolution Sails inspects the damaged laminate and determines the material has reached the end of its service life due to glue failure.15:30 The owner decides to order a new high-end dacron cross-cut mainsail for approximately 7,500 AUD rather than patching the existing one, opting to reuse the original hardware to save costs.17:25 The vessel will continue north using only headsails and a screecher while awaiting delivery of the new sail.17:04
