Igor, thank you so much for putting these videos out. We learn so much from every video, both from you and your knowledgeable crew. Please don’t stop being you and putting out these quality videos. Your feedback on all these items on these boats will force builders and vendors to be better in future!! Can’t wait for the next update on this passage and wishing you guys safe travels!!!
Thanks Mike 🙏🍻
Responsibility is always with the company who sells the finished product/system , not the one that delivers components. The blame is definitely on Lagoon for buying lousy components to save money. Their quality assurance system seems to need a lot of improvement. I am sure that on a Selden rigg these kind of problems wouldn’t occur.
Love Igor’s honesty! …the good and the bad… My favorite sailing channel, I’ve learned so much from him he really covers all aspects of #sailinglife and he’s one hell of a #funnyguy ! Kudos 👌🏼
Thanks 🙏🍻
Thank you Igor, that was the best lesson to help me select a yacht 🇦🇺
🙏🙌🍻
Another great video Igor. Your no nonsence reviews are great watching. Thanks.
Thanks 🍻
Thanks Igor, for being honest about the boat. Hopefully I would love to crew with a good Captain like you one day. Once more happy sailing.
Thanks 👍🍻
The submarine symbols mean that it is a submarine exercise area. That is where they practice and do drills.
Thanks for sharing the experience!
Thank you Igor, really love your videos with real and handson sailing tric, tips and so on!! Fantastic how you share your knowledge!
Thanks 🙏🍻
@@IgorStropnik Maybe more important, your sense of humor!
As usual, informative and interesting. Special thanks for the attention to detail. Good luck to you
Thanks Yevgeniy 🍻
Thanks fellas, I loved it.
Thanks 🍻
Great videos very informative and honest.
Thanks Bill 🍻
Honest and true, thanks my friend🤟
Thanks 🍻
Loved your theory mate👍👏⚓️
👍🍻
Bravo!
🍻
I can see that you Igor are enjoying this trip. Across the Atlantic on the trimaran, you looked as beeing starved to death. Love your great neutral reviews.
Thanks Pius 🍻
Very nice and interesting video.👍👍👍Have a great day and new week. 😉 Greetings. 😎
Thanks 🍻Enjoy!
Great video series Igor, thanks!
What kind of watch schedule were you doing on this trip?
Thanks 🙏 Mostly 3 shifts, 3:3:2
Thank you Igor, really love to hear your opinion. As you say so easy to fix, but do they take notice.
Thanks 🍻 We will see if they take notice in the future models.
Igor, you are a funny guy, I’d love to do a trip with you! Maybe your crew will talk more when they get used to being a UA-cam stars!
👍🍻
Oil sticks. For cars engines down to the first hole from max or full line=1 quart low, 2nd hole=2 quarts low....
You’re a kick ass guy! Thanks for all of your videos brother. My goal was to retire to a Lagoon 450 a few years ago, but now I’m rethinking a Lagoon… That sucks because I really like the look and amenities since it’s going to be my house. Question; have you guys dealt with pirates and/or do you wait on that military convoy that goes through?
Thanks 🙏 No pirates in the area we sailed.
Are the rigging hardware common to lagoons or do all of the new boats tend to have these types of issues? Loved the humor in this one video.
Hardware seems to change a little bit between models. These harken pulleys i see for the first time but some issues are old and nobody seems to be bothered 😕
you might want to look into the stainless steel zip ties for the eyes on the shackles. The are stronger and UV resistant. I don't know if they are available in Europe but I think you might like them.
Good idea 👍🙏🍻
You use skate border helmet when cutting off rope from prop to protect head may be from nz
Good idea 👍
if you don't have loctite can use teflon extra thin film , the one for plumbing or hydraulic sealing
Good idea 👍 thanks 🍻
Igor great videos I’m choosing between lagoon 46 and FP 47 what one would you choose both are owners version
Thanks 🙏. I like flybridge. Rent them for a week. I will work on Lagoon 46 in Croatia this summer and you are welcome.
Thank you
i will do the delivery in few weeks too and im starting to feel anxious ab this issues. delivery is across atlantic. did they do the sea trail? hope you see this comment, can you shortly write the list of the things that tend to break with lagoon boats, thank you
Sea trials are too gentle. There is a lot info in my videos.
Is it possible that hemp, coir and even sisal are better and more resistant than man made fibres? Room for research Fellows! I love this stuff!
Dyneema is the strongest of all and light but natural could be interesting…used in old days…🤔
Do the problems concerning the ropes happen on lagoon 42? Getting one in a couple months time. If the problems are there, what solutions do you reccomend?
No problem with furler rope on 42. Also less problem with main halyard as sail is smaller. On main you can unlock the pulley so it rotates but than rope will twist eventually and make trouble. You can also reef more in strong winds as that is when forces are big and rope gets damaged.
I see an important part of boat life is having enough crew hehe
It is more fun and easier. And you eat better if lucky with somebody can cook well 😀
@@IgorStropnik Yes of course, I think more about Sunreef 60 or 80, is there anything you could think of and be a captain on permanently?
@@lordjoni187 Depends from the program of the boat. Sunreef looks good but bad sailor and high maintenance.
Hey Igor. So what is your conclusion on the how well the Neel Trimaran sailed?
Did it sail well in light air or did it need more than 10kts of wind to sail?
It sailed well but I mostly sailed downwind so would have to sail again in different conditions.
@@IgorStropnik aha. Thanks for the response! Based on your experience would you say the boat is able to sail well in light winds or does sit need more wind to sail like a lagoon/leopard/FP?
@@bret1tmcleod should be better if you keep it light. But have to try first.
@@bret1tmcleod haven’t tried it in low winds.
Is it possible to sail to extreme places like the Antarctica, Falkland Islands and South Georgia Islands and cross the Drake's passage on a regular cruising fiberglass sailing vessel which has got adequate heating onboard ( like for example the leopard 50, lagoon 52S or the Bali 5.4 or other Lagoon and Fountaine-Pajot catamarans) ?
I would never do it.
Tell me, is it possible to do that??
@@mahuyapurkait1561 I think no.
No chance it would be safe. You need an ice rated hull and sailing system. Cold and ice proof systems top to bottom on the boat. Paraffin or kerosene. Composting toilets (or just buckets lol).
American pancakes are like English Pikelets ,,, smaller fatter pancakes you put butter and jam on
Any critical control systems on an aircraft will have their fasteners lock wired or a split pin (Stainless steel must be used for longevity)! Thread lock is not a reliable solution long term! So the pulley bolts should have split pins or lock wire I think, as for Gaffa tape, it will do for the next 24hrs but don't rely on it please! I've worked on planes 50 years old and the split pins have never failed, Ailerons, flaps, throttle linkages etc, all were perfectly serviceable after many years service. Do you have detailed maintenance logs with times, hours etc and periodical inspections carried out and signed off on these boats? The engines having a 50 hr service is in line with aviation requirements too interestingly? 50 hrs is the service interval for basic maintenance, then the 100 hr is a bit more involved, and then the annual is close to a full strip and inspect/replace etc! I will send you an email soon as it would be an experience to get a chance to crew on one these trips, I am sure I would never forget a winter passage across the Bay of Biscay! You were really lucky with weather on this one! Hopefully one day the laws of probability will put it together👍
One trivia point, the Sagres cape is named after the beer Sagres, or is it the other way round😁😁 There's two main beers in Portugal, Sagres and Super Bock, my partner has family there and we have been told Super Bock is the Portuguese version of Fosters, Sagres is more your Stella Artois? Whichever it is, it's a good excuse to sample the stuff and then comment from a position of knowledge! I really liked the interaction you had going with Terry, he seems like the type of sailor I would enjoy spending a few hours and whiskey's with! Only complaint I have is "Famous Grouse" who drinks bottom shelf whiskey and advertises it? I mean for a few pounds more you could have at least got a Talisker or Laphroaig? Or am I a bit of a whisky snob? Love the videos and safe passage for the rest of the trip👍👍
Thanks 🍻We don’t do much official logs of maintenance except engine. Sagres beer…have to try it..maybe drink it on Sagres cape😊 It was the best whiskey we could get in that store and is much better than warm milk😊
@@IgorStropnik You win for sure with the warm milk argument😁😁 The thought of it is not good, give me any whisky before that please🥃🥃👍👍
Have you sailed the Hebrides? I'm not sure which whiskies you prefer, but for me it's Laphroaig and Ardbeg, both distilleries are a short walk from Port Ellen on Islay, which I have to say is in some of the best sailing areas of the UK! Fantastic scenery and whisky and the Aberdeen Angus Steaks are pretty good too! Maybe we could do a crew change there👍👍
@@rogerblackwood8815 have been looking at Hebrides for long time to do small boat adventure. How is the weather in summer? To rough for dinghy sailing?
@@IgorStropnik The weather isn't the problem in the summer, it is the Midges, small Mosquito type bugs in the millions! Google will tell you all about Scottish Midges! Obviously you are an experienced sailor, but a small boat around the Hebrides needs careful planning with the tides that rip through there😲😲 I think I have heard of 12Kt currents or more around the Pentland Firth?
Could you please enable subtitles in Polish on your UA-cam channel ??
Thanks
Just added :)
@@IgorStropnik
Thanks
keeping the engine batteries in the engine compartment? horrible design .
Agree 100%
Why Luxury yacht like this uses Japanese engine? Why does it not use Volvo engine?
Yanmar is the best. Volvo just average.
Igor, chill a bit on the smart ass stuff it’s to much.
Nobody is perfect…
In other words a shitty boat :)
Generally good boat for charter. Only minor problems that can be fixed. All boats have problems...
