No boat too small, no sea too big. You're one of the few men on the globe who knows what sailing really is about. Viking Igor from Croatia!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@richardspears9025]

I first sailed with Igor in 2006 - 17 years ago! First client!
Your sense of adventure inspires me, my friend.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks Richard! 🙏

[@BruceGeffen]

This is really AWESOME! And most definitely needs to be submitted to the Banff Mt Film Festival competition! They don't hardly ever have sailing vids, and this one could break the mold and make it happen.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 Will send them 👍

[@sailing_tassies_adventures]

You certainly live the "Go small, go simple, go now" principle. I watched all your videos, fantastic that you venture out regardless of weather. From cruising huge cats, to sailing dinghy's, fantastic.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

Hi Igor - many comments here so you may not see this but I can honestly say that I’ve never seen anyone push smallboat sailing in northern latitudes like you’ve done. I’m a fellow adventurer and am super impressed by your ability to push the limits in the North but remain safe and come home in one piece. Really cool. My wife and I hope to charter with you in Croatia some time soon.
Keep up the content please!!!
cheers, Brian

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@martineyer5336]

Wow I have seen everything now. That is crazy.

[@fingerhorn4]

This, and other of his videos, demonstrate that Igor is a virtuoso sailor. And he doesn't do it to be a hero. He does it because it gives him pleasure. Compare and contrast with thousands of others who "think" they know about sailing, and in comparison they know nothing. I would trust Igor above any other living person to negotiate the globe not just safely, but in the spirit of true adventure that does not require a vessel costing £xxx,xxx but a boat that is right for the job in hand. KUDOS!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@dougster2k]

There are a million people recording hours and hours of irrelevant journeys, and then there is Igor Stropnik, who records just a few hours of the most original, modest and spectacular journeys ever made.
Igor, you are the best of your kind, and perhaps the only one.
Suggestions:
1) After so many monohulls and catamarans, you only need to sail a trimaran and a Proa, right?
2) Come to Spain and sail all the green north coast, from the Basque Country to Asturias and Galicia.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 Have been thinking to build proa. Fantastic, original and traditional.

Ti si istina inspiracija! Since the first time I saw you videos few years back you inspired me to start doing this as well even though I have been thinking and dreaming about it for many years prior. I have since completed many sailing courses and sailed many places and enjoyed every moment and appreciated this unique experience sailing brings. Even have my own sailing dinghy now to slowly work my way up to experience this kind of adventure even though I started on bigger keel boats. Fair winds!

[@IgorStropnik]

Hvala 🙏 A se da K1 solo zravnat ce se obrnes? Ravno iscem Topcat ali H16.

[@Lecram066]

Pozdravljen. K1 solo je kar težko, moraš biti 100kg težak in jambor v veter, ter se zelo nazaj nagnt da premakneš težišče daleč..., se da, ampak težko v slabem vremenu. Za ta namen prodajajo neke vrste nahrbtnik-vreča, v katerega zajameš vodo da dobiš dodatno težo na hrbtu in stem tudi težišče prestaviš, s tem se da lepo obrnt katamaran. Enkrat sem prakticiral z vodotesno vrečo/nahrbtnik 40l, prodajajo v Dekatlonu, gre tudi ok. K1 ima velika jadra in solo v hudem vremenu je kr hudo, se tudi da, če sta dva pa rata raketa :D Osebno imam F2 in sem solo šel v zelo hudem vremenu, pozabil koliko je bila hitrost vetra. Vglavnem, 2x me je prevrnilo, ko me je tretjič, nisem imel več moči da bi sploh splezal nanj :D še sreča da je veter pihal proti pomolu... Ti si itak mojster na katamaranu, se vidi na posnetkih! Upam da se kdaj vidimo in kako rečemo, do takrat pa veliko pustolovščin a ne :)
