赛事速递 Day4: 两翼双开(横跨太平洋航行日记)

伊他卡号在用两翼双开帆型航行

在南偏东南风的推动下，我们一路顺风航行，船被迫向西偏移得更远。因此，老公决定尝试我们长久以来准备的“两翼双开”顺风航行配置。这是将我们的Genoa大前帆与一块配有滑轨的前帆结合起来的一种方式。

在海上18节风速的情况下，设置撑杆从来都不是一件容易的事。船不断摇晃，船头砸入海中，舀起海水向正在甲板上工作的我们冲过来。一小时后，总算完成了工作，但我们全身湿透——除了在驾驶舱里安全掌舵的如琳。

“两翼双开”的配置让我们能够以更好的角度向西航行，同时在风力增强时可以更轻松地收帆。然而，这种配置仅持续了8个小时。风稍微转向南，我们不得不卸下来两个撑帆杆，重新换回轻风用的大三角帆过夜，因为海况也逐渐平静下来。

清晨时，船的摇摆非常厉害。后来，我发现厨房里又有更多物品散落。比如，一个装满黄豆的密封咖啡瓶的盖子不知怎么弹开了，黄豆在架子上滚来滚去，瓶子也跟着一起翻滚。这场景还挺搞笑，就像厨房里的东西都“活”了一样！接着，我又注意到一个装着玉米面（Pap粉）的塑料容器盖子也松开了。于是，我花了整个上午清理厨房的新一轮“灾难现场”。

海关回复了我们关于在胡安·费尔南德斯群岛意外停靠的询问。他们告知我们可以在岛上停靠以进行必要的维修，但前提是乘客不能下船，船只也不能靠码头。不过，我们算是“乘客”吗？我们是一家人，而且我们是抛锚，而不是靠泊。所以，我想应该没问题。

手动舵确实是一项耗费体力的工作。即使我们四个人轮流，每人每天平均也得掌舵六小时左右。有时当风和帆调得正好时，掌舵会轻松些，但仍然需要全神贯注才能保持航向。我们原本轻松的海上生活似乎一去不复返了。特别是风力加大时，掌舵更是令人紧张。轮班结束后，我们累得只想睡觉，感觉就像行尸走肉一样。

我们从未像现在这样完全依赖手动舵。这本该是KiKi的工作。我们的自动舵是在穿越大西洋时取名为“KiKi”的。经过一次良好的校准后，它从一只呼啸的“老虎”变成了一只温顺的“猫”，于是我们用吉卜力电影《魔女宅急便》中的“琪琪”给它命名。这是KiKi第一次“罢工”，我们真希望它能重新“上岗”。连孩子们都在问：“琪琪什么时候能回来？”

With the south-southeast wind, we were being pushed farther west on a broad reach. So Pierre decided to try our long-prepared Wing-on-Wing downwind sailing. It’s a combination of our Genoa and a large headsail with a track.

Setting up the poles is never an easy task, especially in the ocean with 18 knots of wind. The boat rolled constantly, and the bow scooped up water, flooding the deck where we were working. An hour later, the job was done, and we were all soaked—except for Rulin, who was steering safely in the cockpit.

With the Wing-on-Wing configuration, we could take a better angle to the west and manage the sails more easily by rolling them in when the wind strengthened. However, it only lasted for eight hours. The wind shifted slightly to the south, so we had to take the setup down and switch back to the light-air Genoa for the night as the sea calmed.

In the early morning, we experienced a lot of rolling. Later, I discovered more open items in the kitchen. For example, the lid of an airtight coffee bottle filled with soybeans had somehow popped off, and the beans were sliding back and forth across the shelf, with bottles rolling alongside them. It was quite a funny sight, as if everything in the kitchen had come to life! Then I noticed the lid of a plastic container with cornmeal (Pap flour) had also come loose. I spent the morning cleaning up yet another mess in the galley.

Customs responded to our inquiry about making an unexpected stop at Juan Fernández. They informed us that we’re allowed to stop at the island to perform necessary repairs as long as passengers don’t disembark and the boat doesn’t dock. But are we considered passengers? We’re a family, and we’ll be anchoring, not docking. So, I suppose we’re fine.

房地产 分析师表示，2024年8月百强房企销售金额环比下降8%，同比下滑30%。1~8月百强房企累计销售金额同比下滑35%，降幅较1~7月相对收窄，主要原因是天气炎热以及7~8月属于市场淡季。从跟踪的百强房企情况看，8月单月只有16家房企的销售金额实现环比增长。8月单月房企TOP3、TOP10、TOP10~20、TOP21~30、TOP31~50、TOP51~100的销售金额同比分别下滑14%、25%、25%、16%、32.5%、56%。分析师表示，2024年8月10个重点城市新房平均成交套数为3079套，环比下降24.8%，同比下滑34%，处于今年3月以来最低水平，降幅明显扩大。2024年8月10个重点城市二手房平均成交套数为7900套，环比下滑19%。

Hand-steering has proven to be an exhausting task. Even with four of us taking turns, each person steers for about six hours a day on average. Sometimes, when the sail and wind are set just right, steering is easier. But it still requires constant attention to keep the course. Our once-relaxed ocean life feels like it’s gone. Steering becomes especially stressful when the wind picks up. After our shifts, we’re so tired that all we want to do is sleep—we feel like working zombies.

We’ve never had to hand-steer like this before. It was always KiKi’s job. We named our autopilot "KiKi" during our Atlantic crossing. After a good calibration, she transformed from a tiger into a cat—so KiKi became her name赛事速递, inspired by the Ghibli movie KiKi’s Delivery Service. This is the first time KiKi has gone on strike, and we need her back at work. Even the kids are asking for her return!
