Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Bobby's Island Spirit 525E, hull number five, sits 99% complete at the factory in Pattaya, Thailand on April 3rd — the promised delivery date — but a missing electrical wiring harness from China has pushed completion to late April.10:12 The harness normally takes a week to source; the supplier quoted a month, and Thailand's Songkran holiday adds another 10-day shutdown on top of that.10:39 The tour covers the flybridge with Starlink and solar panels already installed, Selden winches with in-mast furling, shaft-drive electric motors, sacrificial keels, six underwater hull lights, and a four-cabin layout with a dedicated owner's office Bobby plans to use as a podcast studio. The hardtop, aft teak decking, and keel attachment are deferred until the boat reaches the marina.2:10 While waiting, Bobby will sail hull number four — a six-cabin Island Spirit 525E operating in charter out of Phuket — for up to two weeks.11:24 He also installs a stereo head unit on his Highfield dinghy, fixes a blown fuse, and rewires the fuel gauge from the hot bus to the ignition bus.18:14 Hulls seven and eight remain available, with fall and winter/spring deliveries respectively.8:05 A single missing wiring harness can ground an otherwise finished boat for weeks when the supplier is overseas and a national holiday intervenes.
