Evidence Performed by Shayne Vacher-Moffeit

  • Name
    Blue-Water Vessel Delivery — BVI to Sint Maarten (Anegada Passage)
  • Description

    Executed a continuous, 90-nautical-mile upwind delivery from Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda to Sint Maarten through the Anegada Passage. Supported the vessel owner as the sole experienced crew member aboard, alongside a crew of two non-sailors. Encountered severe sea states with swells reaching 20 feet. Executed critical emergency foredeck operations when the jib tack blew out—tearing the bottom three feet of the sail from the track. Successfully rode the plunging bow to manually re-shackle the tack, secure the furler, and stabilize the vessel to complete the transit under mainsail and engine power, arriving at 4:00 AM.
