A 47-foot Fountaine Pajot catamaran serves as the platform for a week-long sailing festival in the British Virgin Islands, involving 11 boats and over 120 participants.3:15 The vessel features twin motors, a flybridge, a generator, and a watermaker.4:12 During a transit to Scrub Island, a 40-knot gale causes the winch tops to blow off under load, requiring mid-passage reassembly.17:32 A dinghy mooring line fouls the propeller during an anchoring maneuver at the Bubbly Pool, necessitating an underwater clearance.15:56 The crew also participates in a regatta, finishing in third place.15:16 Separately, in Norway, the owner tests a Seldén CX25 gennaker furler, noting that the ability to detach the gennaker from the drum simplifies rigging compared to the previous GX15 model.10:38 He emphasizes the importance of taking multiple turns on the winch when handling furling lines to prevent rope burns.11:31 The owner concludes that while the catamaran offers stability and comfort in heavy air, he prefers the experience of his monohull, Tessie, for North Sea sailing.22:17
