Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Bobby completes a three-night charter of an Island Spirit 525e around the Thai Islands, anchoring off Ao Po Marina in Phuket before a final stop at Konaka Yai, where strong current at the anchorage catches the group off guard.Watch The electric catamaran's 210 kWh battery delivers an 80-mile range at 6 knots — Bobby contrasts this with smaller hybrid catamarans he describes as limited to marina maneuvering on battery alone, with motors roughly half the 65 kW rating of the 525e's twin drives.1:18 After returning the boat, Bobby reveals his own new boat, under construction at a factory near Pattaya, has been delayed again past the end-of-month deadline, held up by a single missing component; he plans to drive 12–13 hours through Bangkok to film the boat at the factory.6:24 He also shares observations on Phuket as a potential base: Bang Tao and Kamala suit expat living better than the tourist-heavy south, but Phuket runs roughly 50% of a typical Thai budget rather than the 30% discount common elsewhere in the country.7:37 Bobby also notes his sailing app is available as a web app to patrons pending iOS App Store approval.9:40
