The Cal 25 is a 7.6-meter masthead sloop designed by C. William Lapworth and built by Jensen Marine from 1965 to 1976, featuring a flush deck with a 'pop top' companionway and a fin keel with a spade rudder. Aboard *Wind Hippie Sailing*, a 27-foot sailboat named *Gekko* (which is also identified as a 30-foot and 38-foot sailboat in other contexts), the crew sails through the reef islands of Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef, navigating challenging conditions such as 20-to-25-knot winds and strong currents. The crew relies on satellite charts and Navionics, though Navionics proves unreliable for showing reefs and bommies in the Solomon Islands.22:06 They manage engine repairs, such as fixing a faulty stop solenoid, and perform rudder maintenance, including replacing worn bushings and a corroded bottom plate.10:14 The crew uses a new Rolly Tasker headsail, which performs reliably in winds from 5 to 25 knots.8:45 They navigate narrow passes like the Torres Strait and Albany Pass by timing tidal currents and wind windows, sometimes sending a crew member up the mast to spot coral in uncharted waters.14:09
