Steering Failed While Sailing Alone – Here’s How I Saved It

Описание: While solo sailing across the Gulf of Corinth, my steering system failed—and that was just the start. What should’ve been a smooth single-handed sail from Galaxidi to Patra became a high-stakes situation involving a broken cable, tangled propeller, and on-the-fly repairs in open water.

In this video:

I explain how a steering system works on a sailboat
The steering cable snaps near shore
Autopilot saves me from drifting into rocks
Then the genoa sheet gets wrapped in the prop
I repair the steering with limited tools
Dive in open water to free the prop
And reflect on why problems are necessary for a meaningful life
This is a raw look at what it's like to truly depend on yourself—and how problem-solving with your hands leads to real gratification.
