Bobby's Island Spirit 525 returns to Ocean Marina in Thailand after a week-long delivery run to Malaysia and back to legally import the boat under a cruising permit and avoid sales tax.Watch The delivery crew arrived a day early on a tailwind, logging roughly 1,000 miles round-trip — a hard shakedown that surfaced several defects.0:21 The starboard fuel tank sending unit failed and was replaced and recalibrated at the fuel dock; the tank holds 700 liters total and was refilled with 500 liters.4:24 A DC-to-DC charger was software-limited to 2,200 watts instead of its rated 3,000 watts and was corrected by reloading firmware.13:10 The 240-volt panel was miscalibrated and reading low.13:29 Two engine-bay blower motors overheated because the sealed stern hatch restricted airflow; Island Spirit's technical team cut two new vents to fix it.14:10 The electric spinnaker furler has a faulty control board on order.14:36 In-mast furling and a bow furler deploy both mainsail and jib in under a minute.7:25 Bobby anchors at Koh Larn in six meters of water with 30 meters of chain at 5:1 scope, sets a bridle, and confirms the hook with a reverse-thrust test.10:53 A crew member gets seasick in calm conditions.9:23
