A 2026 Island Spirit 410 catamaran completes its final two days of a delivery sail back to a marina in Thailand, covering roughly 25 miles from Koh Si Chong south to Jomtien Beach near Pattaya, then three miles to Monkey Island before returning.1:17 Koh Si Chong is described as an industrial anchorage used to stage bulk cargo ships, popular with Thai domestic tourists.0:28 Bobby, recovering from food poisoning, motors south on twin 57-horsepower Yanmars with crew Chloe and two dogs.2:09 At Jomtien Beach the crew anchors and goes ashore by dinghy, landing on the beach because the main fishing pier is too tall for dinghy access, a restaurant pier bans dogs, and a third pier is closed for a powerboat regatta.4:34 The regatta features lightweight two-stroke Enduro outboards; Bobby explains why he chose a four-stroke dinghy motor over a two-stroke despite the weight penalty, and notes two-strokes remain available in the Bahamas.7:19 At Monkey Island no monkeys appear, but footage from a prior visit shows aggressive monkeys boarding the dinghy and stealing a bag.11:19 Docking the catamaran uses opposite engine thrust to spin in place, eliminating any need for a bow thruster on a boat under 60 feet.13:17
