What this video covers
Susie Goodall departs Hobart, Tasmania, in her Rustler 36 to continue the Golden Globe Race, following a 12-hour stopover for repairs and resupply.16:27 During the stop, she repaired a bevel gear on her Monitor windvane and confirmed the system is tracking correctly with centered blades.4:58 Goodall maintains a Selden rig with a roller-furling headsail and hanked-on staysails, noting that she would prefer a wider variety of genoa sizes for future legs.9:30 Her storm tactics have evolved to favor sailing through heavy weather with small headsails rather than hoving to or deploying a series drogue, a strategy she employed during a 12-hour hand-steering session in the South Atlantic.10:47 She carries a backup white mainsail, though she continues to use her original yellow sail, which remains in good condition with intact battens.13:04 Goodall plans to head east or northeast to avoid a significant weather system forecast for November 2nd.3:41
