O que este vídeo aborda
A Beneteau First 300 named Rebel is delivered from Conwy Marina in North Wales to Falmouth, Cornwall, crewed by skipper Steve, Sam, and Roy.0:36 The passage plan routes through the Menai Straits, timing the transit under Thomas Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge at two hours before high water and through the Swellies at high water slack — necessary because the tidal stream between the two bridges can reach 8 knots at springs.1:36 Shortly after clearing Carnarvon Bar, the Dyneema backstay breaks, forcing an immediate 180-degree turn back toward Carnarvon.2:11 The crew rigs a temporary backstay from the main halyard, and a replacement Dyneema backstay is delivered to Victoria Dock, Carnarvon within hours; Sam goes up the mast to fit it.2:32 The passage resumes across Cardigan Bay, passing 32 miles off St. David's Head with the tide still foul and the crew motor-sailing.3:39 They clear Smalls Lighthouse into the Celtic Sea, cross the Bristol Channel, waypoint at Longships off Land's End, and arrive in Falmouth early morning after an overnight passage.4:34 The boat is cleaned inside and out before handover to its new owner.5:26 Timing the Swellies at high water slack is non-negotiable; a spare halyard can serve as an emergency backstay long enough to reach a repair point.
