The Sailing Brothers crew, aboard their catamaran, completed a 47-mile passage in the Bahamas in 18-to-25-knot winds, maintaining 4 to 6.5 knots, and later sailed north along the east coast of Australia, planning a circumnavigation toward Asia and the UK.1:02 They funded a £15,875 refit, ordering new tri-radial sails for £3,200 and a 20-kilogram Rocna Mark 2 anchor, with plans for new standing rigging and deck paint.1:14 Aboard their Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite, they performed DIY osmosis repairs on rudders and keels in Fiji, using West System epoxy and Transocean sealer.5:22 They completed a 1,300-mile passage from French Polynesia to Tonga, relying on a wind vane for steering despite losing AIS functionality, and a 600-mile passage from Samoa to Fiji, prioritizing a longer, safer route to avoid a lee shore.0:29
