The crew of a Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite navigates the final 800-mile leg of a passage from French Polynesia to Australia, racing to reach Bundaberg before a forecasted southerly gale. During the transit, the mainsail shows significant rot, requiring the crew to reinforce areas where the sail rubs against the standing rigging.6:22 The engine’s alternator belt snaps, triggering an overheat alarm; the crew replaces it with one of three spares carried on board.12:53 To maintain speed in light winds, they deploy the spinnaker by securing the lines to the port and starboard cleats, allowing it to unfurl like a balloon.3:36 The vessel passes over the Fraser Seamount, which rises 4,062 meters from the seabed.16:06 After six days of limited sleep, the crew sights land and successfully completes the passage and customs check-in.22:36 The experience confirms that maintaining a strict schedule to beat weather windows often necessitates heavy reliance on the engine and compromises on sailing speed.
