Nebunii fac scufundări în Vanuatu (și scăpând prea târziu) - Sailing Greatcircle (ep.295)



O zi impresionantă când vedem pentru prima dată localnici din insula Vanuatu Rusalii își riscă viața sărind cu capul înainte dintr-un turn de lemn și avem propria noastră aventură fiind împușcați de dublul volumului de vânt care navighează spre Santo.

  1. What is wrong with your audio? Your voice and your mouth are a good 2 seconds apart. Is that an editing problem?

  2. You were going 20 knots SOG!??!!??
    The Captain is going to be so mad you didn't reef!!!!. You needed that Solent, not a full sail!!!.
    You're so lucky you didn't break anything! Good boat.

  3. Wowww. It’s quite a dilemma though. What to do when you are too late with reefing already ? Any good advise anybody ?? Anyone who has never been in such a dilemma ??

  4. I like the technique of totally furling the headsail and then readying the main halyard for a fast drop. Then on a nice surge, or small surf I reduce apparent, then turn up into the wind with good steering, then run forward, main fully eased and drop the main totally once the boat has got to about 60 degrees apparent. Then, if you are fast enough, you can bear away again in about 15 seconds, with most of the main down and use the steerage way you still have to bear away again and unfurl a full genoa. If you decide to leave some main up you can reef it properly when you are surfing downhill again with the genoa out full. For this I use marks on the halyard to let me know where to drop it to – but I can only do this with a very deep reef so as to not break the battens. (My cat is 38ft so everything is a bit easier and faster to do). Easier to do the full main drop if worried. I did this last about 2 years ago when about 35 knots came in fast – the sea state was still flat and the main was mostly down at 60 degrees apparent, then I ran back to the helm and bore away with leftover steerage way. I try to do it early whilst the sea state is flat still. Leaving it till later has not worked out well for me. Cheers Phil

  5. The things men do to get womens attention.. talking about the dudes jumping off the tower, not when they don't reef early enough 😀
