Managing the Tricky Bit EP 108 #sailing #boatlife
The end of a sailing season is never easy—especially when the wind wants the last word. In this episode, we wrestle our mainsail down in gusty, heavy winds before maneuvering our Outremer 52 into a tight marina for haul-out at a ramp, which is a first for us at Varadero Marina. With crosswinds, tight turns, and nerves running high, we learned a bunch of new things!
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to sail and manage a catamaran in heavy wind, this video shows the raw side of cruising life.
