Diver plunges into glowing night sea from catamaran
What this video covers
Colin installs a Sunrise Yacht Products bow shade on his Lagoon 450, Parlay Revival, while anchored in the Mentawai Islands off Sumatra, Indonesia.9:41 The shade attaches at four points — two corners to the chairs, one around the furler, one around the mast, and back to the shroud — using quick-release jammers that require no lines or poles across the deck.11:10 Installation takes minutes without tools; removal is equally fast.13:19 The shade stays up while motoring, eliminating the need to drop it every time the anchor is raised, but must come down when deploying the headsail since it blocks airflow into the saloon.14:36 Colin notes it cools the entire bow area and, by extension, the saloon through the forward hatches.12:38 At $2,300 from the Sunrise Yacht Products website, templates are pre-made for production catamarans including the Lagoon 450.15:47 The material is porous by design, allowing wind through in heavy conditions and keeping weight low, but it does not stop rain.16:28 Colin received the shade free for review and states he would buy one at full price.16:39 The episode also covers a beach barbecue on an uninhabited island, swimming off the boat, spearfishing with a local guide, and a crew change welcoming a friend from Auckland.3:55
