I've watched UA-cam sailing channels for a decade. Each time they quickly show some details about how to actually sail I pay close attention. I wish that I had these videos a long time ago and it's greatly appreciated.
I am really impressed how well Igor explain everything. Easy instructions, interesting knowledge basis and a likable attitude. Thanks very much for your posting these videos Igor, I rated you content no1 on youtube learning to sail.
I just bought a boat in and trying to visit Croatia. Your videos theyr perfect. So some Croat friends out hear in San Pedro,ca are teaching me Croatian before my visit. They said to greet everyone meet I meet with "yebbi si pederu". They said it's warm hello.
Your love of sailing and Croatia are apparent in your videos Igor. Genuine thoughts and insights are a breath of fresh air. I watch many sailing channels and really appreciate your honesty regarding the boats you sail. Keep up the good work.
Best video on sail trimming we have run into after years of studying videos and getting first 4 ASA certs done - wish I would have seen this before our first non instructor charter of a 45ft cat.
I've been sailing monohulls since I was a young boy in the early 1970's with many miles under various keels. I have a bare boat catamaran coming up and these videos of yours are fantastic. After the BVI, I want to come and sail Croatia.
boy lucky that you live in such a great area! I have a good friend from Bosnia that keeps telling me to meet him in Croatia, he says nothing but great things.
Thanks Igor, for a excellent tutorial on how to sail a catamaran. The explanation was very clear and to the point. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next tutorial.
Remember.... spaghetti on boat are good only in boiling water.You have to spend time to coil rope because that's really dangerous, you can skid or stumble over bord. I use snaps hooks and a couple of ropes to have the deck clean and safe. Great video! and not for for rookie sailors only. I subscribed to your channel🖖
Great walkthrough - I'm going to be going through this training early next year and plan on living on trimaran soonish, so learning these skills is critical - love this
Love your channel bro. I learn so much about sailing. Looking at buying a catamaran in the near future... You state an honest review about all the boats, love it! I have been a boatie for almost 20 years now. Own a 6.4 Aluminium half cab with 150 Mercury, Love the fishing and continues exploring. Keep-Up he good work and enjoy yourself! Greetings from a Bosnian, Down under, east coast Moreton Bay
Excellent video taking your viewers through all points of sail with a self tacking jib. This is quite the sailing lesson in one video, and your attention to details is key. I hope many who would like to sail but think it’s too difficult to learn watch this video. With proper instruction, sailing is not difficult. Seamanship is different, and comes over time with experience, but learning to to move the boat under sail is not complicated once the fundamentals are understood, which is what you have taught here. We’ll done Igor! A bit different from monohulls, but the principles are the same.
Really enjoy your channel. You provide excellent hands-on technical commentary on what you are doing, and why. Thanks! My only critique is that here in the US we never sail with our fenders hanging off the topsides.
finally some real teaching hands on video. I follow Multihull group , nice as well. Really love theses tuning details, and tips. great Igor !!! Thank you
Wow how times have changed, grew up on a 70s piver tri. Had a high use radar, OP was a thing out of the stonage.. worked sometimes!!! Hand 🔧 everything and we weren't fast but heavy by skippers choice. Oh SF Bay, always cold and windy, lots of fog and low clouds but always fun, I think!! Don't miss the maintance of that boat.
Mirko's wine cellar is definitely not for the average american tourist. They would have to rub themself with olive oil before they squeeze through the tunnel 😂.Absolute love this hidden gem and also the secret beach entrance! Nice beginner tutorial also from you Igor, as a non skipper/sailor i learned a lot!
Bok Igor, a really great video!! Hvarla! You are a really good teacher. If i will have a catamaran, i will need your help for sure. Cant't wait for another video like this! Greets, Michi
So Good, Thanks In two weeks we will put in water our Lagoon 500 after winter, here in Vigo and it's perfect to remember, even your cat is much easy. Thanks for your videos
@@IgorStropnik I agree. It would be great to teach good seamanship with stowing the lines. That spaghetti of main halyard and genoa sheet is a disaster waiting to happen. Very scary. What would you do in an emergency with that spaghetti. I hope you have a good knife on you, or within reach.
So thankful for such a good video and information in it. Have you considered to make a How to video about 1. anchoring and 2. sailing in stormy conditions. Once again so thankful for your work. I am sure, you have really helped people to have fun sailing and avoid damages to the boats etc.
at 22:50, it looks like a good time to release the spinnaker ....The spinnaker would have balanced the boat out nicely for smooth sailing......You don''t have to release the line for jenoia.. Siinikers would resresove this quite nicely, and pull uou along respectively.
Great videos, Igor. We chartered a Moorings Cat in 2007 when there were very few in Croatia. It looks like there are many more nowadays. I wish you would mention the islands and establishments you are visiting.
Hi Igor . Love your videos . Have been a nautical nut all my life. You are an excellent teacher and Captain and all around Nice guy .Keep up the great videos and teaching .
Love it Igor! So when you say "once the boat has speed, I can steer better", that's known as authority. You gain authority on the rudder when moving faster through the water.
!!!!!!! 53:00 "Make sure there are no other boots around" ........ That is possibly the most important thing in a tack or gybe. Anyone that does watersports knows what I am talking about!😂😉
Thanks Igor for your compliments. If you need extra info about code 0 material, handling etc, we can help you out. For example, 1:2 halyard is a must have for the code 0, otherwise you cannot get the tension for the antitorsion rope in the luff. Take care. Best regards from Supreme sails
Hi Igor! Great video! Thumbs up! 👍 If I may suggest something, I'm sure that many of us would really appreciate a video dedicated to handling a catamaran, anchoring, docking!
Thanks, I want to film it but kind of hard to dedicate time. I am filming something similar now but I want to film all that with drone. Would need some support to film it like boat, more cameramen, ..,
I agree about the lack of an epirb! Many people don't understand that the AIS emergency system in not the same. I think the innovation of the battery is actually a good one if they have the solar to charge the battery in less than a day using it combined with sail you could really make some miles. My concern though as is yours that battery! Although hitting a submerged container at 5-6 knots could rip a keel off!
Perfect how to teach sailing catamaran. Myself I have a Lagoon 420 and learned much by your videos! Can you Tell me where the Place of Mirko is? I Never heard before,
Very good Igor. As a cat owner I prefer to use the throttles only in a marina or mooring with rudders central. More control and not unpredictable directions from driving with helm turned in another direction. BTW FP cats do have a connection for the bridge on the inside of the bow near the front and it works well. André in Sydney
Nice video Igor I’m sure those guys learned a lot during this trip ! Really nice. We don’t have a bow spirt so we don’t use a code Zero or code D but us a asymmetrical spinnaker which we fly off one of the bows. We have wishard bow eyes on each bow. We can push up to 65 degrees before the luff starts folding and down to 150 degrees. Most of our sail across the Southern Atlantic Ocean was done with this sail. Sadly a mistake lead to the sail being up near Brazil and a squall destroyed the sail making the rest of our crossing across the top of South America very tough with a main and Genoa in light winds at 140+150 degrees. (We have ordered new asymmetrical and symmetrical sails from Australia.) . In terms of the water makers the pleated sails are to filter the saltwater and the carbon filter (particles) is for reverse flushing with possible chlorine particles not to damage your membrane.

Hi Igor, thank you for all you have brought me in these videos. I wonder if you can tell me when this video (week or month of year?)? I'd like to charter in early season like this. Not thrilled about Jugo winds, but this looks great! Please share time of year! And I hope we can buy you a beer someday! Havala Von Ma Pumiji!! Dovedjenia!
Hello Igor, great videos and explanations about catamaran sailing in every detail. It seems that cats are not good sailers regarding upwind and straight downwind. However, I want your opinion on Bali 4.6 double mainsheet system. How to manage the twist and angle of the sail to the wind. With traveler, it is easy you adjust the traveler and the twist with the main sheet. But when it comes to the double mainsheet system I find it confusing which side does what and when. Thank you and keep doing these videos.
Excellent & timely video! We're leaving in two days for Split and renting a Moorings 45' catamaran. Can you tell me where Mirko's place is? We want to go there!
Hi Igor, very good video, clear explanation. Just one remark: I don't like people to push buttons putting their arm through the weel. Even on auto, strange things can happen and this weel is not forgiving. Thanks.
Another great and informative video. Great job, Igor! Would you mind sharing the details about that Code 0 from Supreme Sails? Looks really nice. Thanks!
I just got back from helping to crew a Lagoon 42 from Lanzarote to Mindelo. You referred to a self-tacking Genoa which maybe you meant self-tacking Gib? The Lagoon I was on had a self-tacking Gib and a Code zero and despite the advice given, we sailed in classic tradewind conditions wing on wing with the Gib cleated on the port hull and the code zero out to starboard and created our own customised backstay with a line holding down the boom to both aft quarters. What struck me after sailing a lot of mono hulls with in-mast reefing was how potentially dangerous it was handling the mainsail on the Lagoon, particularly with the owner insisting that it was ‘safer’ to raise the mainsail heading dead downwind rather than upwind. As an aside - I have never herd you mention just how noisy it is on passage in the aft port cabin! Oh my God - how can any manufacturer think that banging and clattering is acceptable lol 😂
Excellent tutorials on Cat, as usual, brilliant voyage. Is there any way I can find more info about your friend the best winemaker? I mean the name of the island or the name of the guesthouse? Thanks for sharing 🙏
Hi Igor, I learned so much from this video, thanks a lot. I will be at Biograd at September this year and I will contact you at Oktober for end of Saison 23.
Is it some sailing course or just new crew? Very informative video in nice environment.. And with good food :) I see there are many compromises on the cat (mainsheet holding the boom, self-tackling jib), yet it is on my bucket list to sail one
Nice video.. fun to watch.. small things though.. there are no ROPES on the boat, they are lines.. and the self tacking JIB is a JIB, not a Genoa.. A Genoa is a jib that overlaps the mast. but other than than, good video.
Thank you for this “life” instruction. I am used to sail singlehanded much smaller catamarans up to 30 feet with a helm and with handoperated winches for the codezero only. When I see this sailing in a much bigger boat I think I am more looking at the work of a process-operator than sailing. Also the rigging of this boat is kind of strange to me. The squaretop mainsail is causing the troubles with the hoisting it past the boomvang. It also limits the use of the traveller on backwind courses. Then there is the short traveller for the selftacking jib that doesn’t allow for proper setting of that sail on broad reaches. All in all I wonder howmuch of the total sailarea is not 100% efficiently useable. So I learned a lot from you about what to look for if I would ever be tempted to buy a bigger boat.
I also wonder how much the squaretop makes it more risky to gybe. On my boat with conventional narrowtop mainsail, short battens and double mainsheetsystem gybing is what I do many times with great ease. Actually my boat is quite light and it is more difficult to tack when there are some waves. Then I gybe. Even in windspeed 6 Bf. The faster the boat goes before the wind the less appearant wind. But I realise now that the full battens and the squaretop makes that a very different operation.
squaretops with fullsize battens on much smaller catamarans like Nacras and A-cats (or on high performance cats and tri’s are great) but those cats are much much faster so their apparent windangle is also much sharper. They never sail flat before the wind but use their gennakers whereby the speed increases so much that the mainsails are positioned as if they sail upwind courses to the apparent wind. The riggers of these larger cruisingcats seem to have just copied this sailplan without considering it’s functionality to these larger boats.

What struck me after sailing a lot of mono hulls with in-mast reefing was how potentially dangerous it was handling the mainsail on the Lagoon, particularly with the owner insisting that it was ‘safer’ to raise the mainsail heading dead downwind rather than upwind. As an aside - I have never herd you mention just how noisy it is on passage in the aft port cabin! Oh my God - how can any manufacturer think that banging and clattering is acceptable lol 😂
Exactly 👍 When sailors sail these cats for first time they go…what?! Why!? Shouldn’t be like that. Future is furling main in cats.
Hey @IgorStropnik. Where is this location of the pirate wine cellar please? Nice video by the way.
Thanks 🙏 I will post video about that place soon 👍
Excellent tutorials on Cat, as usual, brilliant voyage. Is there any way I can find more info about your friend the best winemaker? I mean the name of the island or the name of the guesthouse? Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thanks 🙏 Hvar.
Hi Igor, I learned so much from this video, thanks a lot. I will be at Biograd at September this year and I will contact you at Oktober for end of Saison 23.
Thanks 🍻Ok, thanks 🙏
Is it some sailing course or just new crew? Very informative video in nice environment.. And with good food :) I see there are many compromises on the cat (mainsheet holding the boom, self-tackling jib), yet it is on my bucket list to sail one
Just people learning. There is no perfect boat.
Nice video.. fun to watch.. small things though.. there are no ROPES on the boat, they are lines.. and the self tacking JIB is a JIB, not a Genoa.. A Genoa is a jib that overlaps the mast. but other than than, good video.
Thanks, lost in translation…
Also wind on the BEAM, and REACHING.
Great video!. Have you ever sailed an adventure catamaran ? They look nice but I haven't actually seen anyone sail one.
Thanks 🙏🍻 Haven’t sailed it yet.
Which kind of camera did you used for that video? Pic and sound is very good.... thanks
Thanks 🙏 DJI Pocket 2.
Thank you for this “life” instruction. I am used to sail singlehanded much smaller catamarans up to 30 feet with a helm and with handoperated winches for the codezero only. When I see this sailing in a much bigger boat I think I am more looking at the work of a process-operator than sailing. Also the rigging of this boat is kind of strange to me. The squaretop mainsail is causing the troubles with the hoisting it past the boomvang. It also limits the use of the traveller on backwind courses. Then there is the short traveller for the selftacking jib that doesn’t allow for proper setting of that sail on broad reaches. All in all I wonder howmuch of the total sailarea is not 100% efficiently useable. So I learned a lot from you about what to look for if I would ever be tempted to buy a bigger boat.
Thanks Alfred 🙏🙌
I also wonder how much the squaretop makes it more risky to gybe. On my boat with conventional narrowtop mainsail, short battens and double mainsheetsystem gybing is what I do many times with great ease. Actually my boat is quite light and it is more difficult to tack when there are some waves. Then I gybe. Even in windspeed 6 Bf. The faster the boat goes before the wind the less appearant wind. But I realise now that the full battens and the squaretop makes that a very different operation.
@@alfreddaniels3817 I am not fan of square top. I prefer normal sail as it is easier and safer to jibe and rise.
@@IgorStropnik your video made me realize that too. 👍👍
squaretops with fullsize battens on much smaller catamarans like Nacras and A-cats (or on high performance cats and tri’s are great) but those cats are much much faster so their apparent windangle is also much sharper. They never sail flat before the wind but use their gennakers whereby the speed increases so much that the mainsails are positioned as if they sail upwind courses to the apparent wind. The riggers of these larger cruisingcats seem to have just copied this sailplan without considering it’s functionality to these larger boats.
