Sailing with Evan and Amy
United States
Приєднався 23 лип 2023

Amy's first time at the helm of a Leopard 45 catamaran and she is GOOD!
11 Months ago We had our 2015 L48 hauled and surveyed in the BVI. 3 months ago we hauled out at Clarkes Court where you filmed this video. She will be there until December. Where are you guys heading next season?
beautiful boat. hope all is ok. is this video taken at Blue Haven in Turks? if so, man I was just there, i wish i could've taken a look!
Music is too loud to hear a lot of what is being said. Less is much better.
Glad to see the owner has listed it himself. Brokers are a complete waste of money, they do so little.
Um... Reading your blog, it seems to me that life on a boat was very short, that the dream is over, too bad for you. I hope you'll come through it well, and that it's not the boat that's brought this adventure to an end. Bests Regards
Beware of Leopard cats. Watch Travel Sketch's UA-cam channel to learn firsthand what it's like to own a Leopard cat. 😱
Leopards are very seaworthy and mine is structurally stiff and sound. Which is why the moorings almost exclusively buys Leopard. I declined Lagoons and FP because they creak and moan underway due to the poor bulkheads. Every boat has issues. The only question is whether you're willing to sign up for fixing a boat while you take your adventures. The only boat that doesn't have something broken is the one that hasn't left the factory yet.
I actually prefer the cherry finish to the newer vaneer ...beautiful Leopard 48 you got there ....May you have many amazing adventures on her ,fair winds and following seas
Nice looking boat for a 2013. A commentary would be wonderful.
Awesome! congrats!
Nice to meet you two 🤙⛵️🌸🐠✌️
Beautiful!! Shannan and her girls and I went over Christmas break!! Sooo great!!
The unnecessary music 😢 does my heading and it's pointless watching the video on mute 🔇. I'm out 😠🙉👎🏿

GOD SPEED
I see my boy Ollie in his mom Pinky!
Just saw your post and what a testimony! I and my daughter and her family of 6 are all excited about BWC but my wife not at all. She suffers from short term memory loss and we're believing for a miracle. Jesus is our healer and there is opportunity with her. We need a 48 or 50 foot of something to hold 10 people. We'll be on it in the winter somewhere south and in Holland, Michigan in the summer. Hopefully we find something by spring of 2024. I'm curious about the ASA training and will have to look that up.
The people at bluewatercruising.com have been immensely helpful in helping us get to this point, including finding the Leopard 48 I'm going to survey this week. Keep praying and trusting.
I love it- keep it coming
You both seem really relaxed and happy discovering all of this together. 🙂
Yes we are relaxed and happy when we're out on the water together! Its the stress of packing, sorting, moving, working and the costs that sometimes makes us crabby!
