Igor, I suspect you're the only person out there who would get me watching a 1+ hrs video of this! That's because you really keep it real and talk about the real relevant stuff. For a good amount of us this is very instructional, I suppose. Besides, it is very enjoyable to listen to you and then your amazing cooking skills, boy!: they deserve a channel to themselves!!! hahaha!
Cheers mate and keep it coming!!
Thanks Antonio!
Cape Verde was wonderful. Relax approach not tacking is sailors delight. Neel 51 built for the bluewaters
Great vid, thanks. Nice balance between fun stuff and actual hands on stuff. Practical advice.
Thanks 🙏
Loved the settlers reference
the real zohan i like it a lot! good job!
Thanks 🙏
Another great vid of the Atlantic trip !.....appreciate the intelligent and lively and educational words.... Learnt a lot just from your observations and anecdotes . Way to go !!!!
🍻👍
I am always surprised your videos dont have hundreds of thousands of views. Thanks for the video!
I like you already 😀👍🍻🍻
'South until the butter melts....' excellent rule of thumb!
👍🍻
Hi Igor, I’m from Australia, my name is Craig. Thank you very much for your informative and fun videos. Many great tips and tricks 🫡🫡
Thanks 🙏
The best UA-cam content of this type! Bravo Igore! I've learned a lot. Keep them coming. Pozdrav iz Rijeke!!!
Hvala!🙌👍
Indeed very educational... thanks Igor...
Igor from your dialogue two things are apparent 1) you have a very good command of the English language and this comes across in your use of the vernacular and no doubt, you'd be competent with swearing too.
2) You obviously love what you're doing and your sailing experiences have grounded you as a person. You communicate your skills admirably and I look forward to your future videos. My personal ambition maybe is to take the Neel 65 without mast and rigging hybridize the power aspect with electric motors in the amas and 350 HP diesel in the centre hull.
Thanks Leonard!
Thanks for sharing your opinion, great stuff.
a very nice journey 👍
Thanks Thomas!
I have been waiting for this video, so exciting it is now here 🙂
Thank you for the lifehacks and the ability to see beauty! As always informative)
🍻👍
The neel 51 is my dream boat
🙌👍
Great video!
I’ve been watching the whole trip. Very entertaining. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels from Florida, USA.
Thanks 🙏
Really good one, thanks🤟
Thanks 🍻👍
Seem that cabin gets really hot! I am enjoying all the knowledge gained about sailing and you seem to give what you really think.
Thanks Lawrence!
Zip tie, Duck tape, wd-40 fix all things, that should move, or not haha. Greatings from Poland :)
👍🍻
I microwave icecream and make icecream soup...lol. 20 sec makes it perfect.
Melted ice cream is the best

Thank you, nice video!

That bread looks so good
The best bread!
you're awesome! I'm so jelly lol
Hi Igor, Another nice hour watching you sail across the Atlantic! Sailing seems to be like flying, we can talk for hours on our chosen subject too😎 Meteorology is as important to you as it is to us in the air, it can be a killer if you get it wrong! Most planes have weather radar, can you tune your radar to see the weather ahead?
PS, the Dolphins fishing were amazing, great catch with the camera👍
🍻👍
Looks like you were sailing in the doldrums for a couple of days. Hopefully the winds were more steady in the final leg of your trip.
❤❤❤
Hi Igor - another terrific episode, thank you so much. A quick question if I may, with the electronic package you have on board, can you overlay the RADAR picture on top of the chart to get a confirmation of what you see, especially at night, fog or bad weather? Thanks again :)
Yes you can overlay. Thanks!
Honestly I wasn't following anymore because there was no more food during the trip but after 10 minutes, i'm happy to see a chicken sandwich 😀
😂🍻
Igor, top sailing, I like your reviews of the Neel 51. The question is are you a Trimaran, Catamaran or a Mono hull guy, what would you buy for cruising? Fair winds n' following seas, the fleet is looking good.
Thanks! I like them all for different purpose.
Would be interested to know how comfortable it is to sleep in the armor or is armour. The floats 😆
Love your videos Igor. On the neel 51 is it possible to sail across the oceans solo?
You can go solo.
Thank you , Igor, for pointing out the fact that you haven't encountered plastic pollution where you are sailing. For sure there are areas that are really vile but rather than sticking to the facts magazines or videos want to impress the public and transfer it to the rest of the globe. According to Nat Geo every person living within 100 miles of a shore line has chucked 130 pounds of plastic into the oceans. Correct me if I'm wrong.
We need to get rid of to much plastic.

🍻👍😃
Igor, your videos are great! Do you have any information, on the wooden trimaran from Berlin? at 30:19. I would like to learn more about that awesome vessel. mostly because I don't have Neel 51 budget.

Very good, interesting, wonder why you always refer to true wind speed instead of apparent? Whatever is good for you. Keep safe and going. Friend from Canada
Thanks 🙌 App and true are important. Probably i say true for describing general conditions we have. I like app for wind angles.
Would you repeat the brand/model of sunglasses you ware? Thanks in advance and great video series!
Thanks 🙏 Julbo race 2.0 with octopus lenses
Go to trade winds and sometimes it's btrade wins funny facts
Another nice video, greeting from a Greek that lives in Canada.
Looking to get a catamaran and move back to Greece in order to live in it and sail around the Mediterranean, what would be your suggestion for a owner operator catamaran?
Thanks!
It depends on your budget I would have thought? But buy the best you can afford! And get a professional survey done 👍
@@rogerblackwood8815 definitely less than 800.000$, from what i've seen from similar stories of owner operators the Lagoon 46 seems a good size option for what i'm looking for but any input is definitely considered and appreciated.
Rent first and go with your heart.
I'm an arborist... We literally call that redirect on the fore deck a friction ring. They should put a pulley in place of it. Friction rings are about 25percent of the cost of a capable pulley.
Agree totaly!
How much is a capable pulley? Seems a bad trade-off.

🙌👍🍻
im still wondering about engine. Neel 51 normally is powered by Volvo Penta with sail drive. Why this has Yanmar shaft drive? is this done by neel or it some kind of later upgrade? As i know Neel does not offer yanmar shaft drive as an option.
I thinks that this is a wise choice. Much less trouble.
NEEL offers a shaft drive on 51 with a larger engine. You demand whatever brand you want but it comes at a price
Vikings in ex england took a, I think, raven bird whit them back to denmark, and when return to England, the released the bird near land at it fly back to where they catch it, so was just to follow the bird and the end where they wanted.
Makes sense except bird was gone in few minutes. Maybe have a lot of birds.
@@IgorStropnik the birds are tamed.
Hola!
Que te parece mejor un lagoon 450 o un neel 47? O 51?
Un saludo!
I would go for 450 if there were no bulkhead problems.
....just thinking , what do catamarans do in the night, do they have any small light, which is seeing from like few/1 hundred/ meters or no? ... even if it doesn't help a lot...i guess it would be good when there is small good light like on the mast or so....☺😊⛵💡⭐🌟🌠✨🔦🎇🎆🌛🌗🌔⛵☺👍⭐
They have navigation lights and anchor light 💡
@@IgorStropnik ...ok....that's what i thought with the navigation one, the other i wouldn't know...thx for reply....👍☺⛵🌗💡
What was Your interdite racing-position when approaching Cap Verde? -Normally I am not interested in competition of any kind, but as You take part just for fun, let us know (just for fun) ;))
Don’t remember. We were disqualified for starting day after.
What is your option on bag for main sail or a retractable into mast?
I like full batten with lazy jack but sometime I prefer mast furling as it is fast and easy.
Are there advantages to using zip ties on schakles rather than siezing wire? That scooter on those roads looks erm... sore! Can see why you switched to a car!
Not sure. Always used zip ties.
I was wondering why Cats aren't called bimarans. After googled not what I would have guessed.
Good point 😃
So this boat doesn't fall apart like the one on the " neeltrimaranexperience " channel?
None of them do. The yacht in question was the only Neel that ever experienced any hull failure, partly because the owner exceeded manufacturer recommendations and overloaded his boat. Moreover, manufacturing at that time was being outsourced to other countries, so there may have been substandard fit and finishing. Since then, the entire manufacturing process has been done at La Rochelle, France. The model that failed was the 45 and it is no longer in production. As far as I'm aware, there wasn't another such incident and Neel has sold many yachts.
@@jamesaron1967 It wasn't just the hull, it was the whole boat, from electronics to the improper factory installation of heater that released carbon directly into the cabin, it's beyond me how they could give away it in such shape before a last check up.
@@Davids6994 I see. I 'm not familiar with the intimate details of the entire affair. I was focusing only on the hull failure that constituted the most immediate risk to the occupants.
That incident may have turned off a lot of prospective clients to Neel yachts and it's understandable, but are we to condemn all the products that the company manufactured since then? Should the company be closed down? That was several years ago; Neel sold many yachts in the following years and none have experienced such failure.
I've seen a video of a Dragonfly trimaran that had capsized. Some people were blaming the trampoline for facilitating that incident because it wouldn't permit the wind to flow through and acted as a sail. Whether that's true or not I cannot say. What is clear is that those who were sailing the yacht exceeded its operating capabilities. Same situation on the Neel 45 but it was overloading in that case.
Bottom line: in either situation it could have been both sailor and manufacturer error. I don't believe wholesale condemnation is appropriate when the company in question released many yachts that are doing fine to this day.
@@jamesaron1967 it's not just about the mistakes they made but about how they reacted to them, I followed the complete journey with updates for the last years with all the lawsuit papers that the owner published and they really didn't take much responsibility from it...if you'd have seen how they treated the customer of that yacht i'm sure you'd think twice before buying from them and it's good that people know what they could potentially go through.
Tell us more about wood trimaran.
Why unsinkable?
Wood doesnt sink
If sealed, also no lead ballast in catamarans and trimarans, so unsinkable to a certain degree, just might have to survive upside down, but the coasties will see you better especially if you paint the bottom orange....

I have been looking at this boat for 4 years now but it bothers me that they don't do a owners by making a bigger bathroom in the front like 47 and bigger owners cabin. And the height to the ceiling in the galley too
The master cabin has a head inside even if it's a bit smaller than the other heads. That's a big plus in my book. The 47 doesn't, hence the need to locate it elsewhere. In my opinion, the 47 layout is more inconvenient to have a head down a stairway into the lower center hull. The overall 47 layout is odd, which is why I wouldn't consider one. Especially the awkward external access to the side cabins. I'd like to see someone get in an out of those cabins in less than agreeable conditions.
The only thing I prefer on the 47 is the big window in the master cabin that allows viewing the nav station up front, but I'm sure Neel would accommodate the client and add one to the master cabin of the 51, if desired.
Why do you not use the main? forbidden?
It’s explained in other ep. When low wind, bad angle, sail not stable as heavy
Loctite would be better for those shackles
Yes👍
What year is the Neel?
2021
how could you suffer on a boat like that?
Am I the only viewer that wants that bread recipe?
😀🙌 There is instruction how to make in one of the series. Forgot where exactly but it’s there 🙌
@@IgorStropnik Looks like Im going ro have to watch all of your videos from the start of your channel. Lol.
Parli anche italiano?🍻
No 🍻
Russian?
he said slovenian
He looks more croatian living in slovenia nonetheless he made my life easier i went back to normal sail boat.
@@borisandric4290 Do Croatians and Slovenians look different ?
@@megamilyon6111 as a matter of fact they do and he allways when arrives in croatia says he loves croatia the most :) he looksike hes dalmatian croatian since they are very tall no just joking hes slovene :)
