A performance multihull, *Trade Runner*, encounters a series of intense squalls during an overnight passage in the Flores Sea between Sumbawa and Sulawesi.5:25 The crew reports wind speeds reaching 35 knots, necessitating constant sail adjustments and heading changes to maintain control throughout the night.4:34 Upon arriving at the island of Sapuka, the vessel anchors in a lagoon.8:26 While at anchor, a local commercial ferry without AIS or navigation lights maneuvers toward the boat.9:58 Despite the crew signaling with spotlights and VHF radio, the ferry captain attempts to pass in front of the anchored vessel.10:43 The wind pushes the ferry onto the multihull, resulting in a collision that damages the starboard bow.11:32 The crew notes that the ferry captain had sufficient room to pass astern but failed to account for windage on the four-story vessel.12:18 The experience highlights the unpredictability of local commercial traffic in Indonesia. The crew concludes that relying on the logical decision-making of other captains is a safety risk and that immediate evasive action, such as powering forward on the anchor chain, is preferable to assuming a collision will be avoided.19:21
