Bobby launches his new Island Spirit 525E catamaran, named Maverick, in Thailand after years of waiting.0:12 The travel lift lowers the boat into a slip with inches of clearance on either side — tight enough that Bobby describes it as near the maximum width most marinas can accommodate.2:33 During the exit, the travel lift straps, too buoyant in the shallow low-tide water, float up and snag the hull; a crew member enters the water to clear mud-caked hardware before the boat can move.3:57 Once free, Bobby and crew check all through-hulls, open seacocks, and inspect bilges — no leaks.2:55 Fuel tank sensors are calibrated by filling each tank in quarter increments.5:42 The boat's electric motors push it to nine knots at 600 RPM with minimal noise and no vibration.8:38 Lifelines are missing because the installation crew failed to show; Bobby limits the first outing to a short motor loop without sails and returns to the dock.6:10 A full sea trial is scheduled for Monday.10:22 Bobby also mentions a flotilla event in Koh Chang, Thailand, November 8–15, with Lagoon 380 and Lagoon 480 charters available, and notes his Ta Chaio CT-56 Naughty Dogs is for sale in the Chesapeake at $150,000.11:09
