Re: Vendee Globe
en teoria es desandando lo andado.a ver que pasa
My boat has stopped/ is grounded!
Check that you're not facing directly into the wind.
As a general rule of thumb, when you are sailing upwind, a jib will be more effective than a spinnaker and vice-versa when sailing downwind.
You may be in a storm (winds of 70 knots or 130 km / h).
There is no wind in your area.
Zoom in to ensure you have not hit an island
Even in a grounding, your speed is always visible so you can see how to move your boat with the wind. If you find yourself grounded, try to make a u-turn (180 °), or try transferring from one bank the next in order to get out. There is no automatic ungrounding, so you will have to navigate yourself back out to sea.
