O que este vídeo aborda
Nika and Flo anchor their Reynke Super 10, named Carl, in the deep, 15-meter waters of Tomatlan, Mexico, after a 130-nautical-mile passage from Tinakatita.Watch Because the bay is crowded with fishing pangas and shallows quickly, they secure the boat by deploying a stern anchor to the shore using a kayak.1:27 Later, Nika visits a friend in Paradise Village Marina to see a Benetton 57 before motoring back to Tomatlan.3:44 While sailing north toward Santa Cruz, Nika encounters performance issues with Carl’s twin-keel, flat-bottomed hull design in light air.5:57 In 10 knots of wind with a short, 3-to-4-second chop, the boat struggles to maintain speed, hitting waves rather than cutting through them and dropping to 1.8 knots.6:33 Once the wind increases to 15 knots, the boat reaches 5.5 knots.7:55 The experience confirms that the vessel requires higher wind speeds to overcome the drag created by its hull shape in choppy sea states.
