A 2024 Fontaine Pajot 47 catamaran transits the Don't Rock Pass in the Sea of Abaco, Bahamas, during 25-to-30-knot winds.3:10 The crew times the passage for high tide to navigate the shallowest section, where depths remained at least four to five feet below the keel.7:19 Outside the pass, the vessel encounters five-to-seven-foot seas before reaching the lee of Guana Cay.4:40 The skipper utilizes a remote control for the autopilot to monitor the chart plotter from inside the cabin during the rough conditions.2:32 Upon arrival at the anchorage near Grabber’s Bar, the crew deploys the anchor and uses the chart plotter’s track feature to confirm the boat is not dragging in the high winds.8:33 The passage concludes with a dinghy excursion where a novice crew member practices operating the outboard motor, including the use of the kill cord.12:24 The vessel remains stable throughout the transit, though the crew notes that low-tide conditions would require caution in the pass.
