Hi Igor, nice nice and slow, great video to watch.... Regards Buggy

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@joegiammanco448]

Love these videos. You have good humor. I enjoy your perspectives. Thanka for filming and posting.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@dgfreshx]

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@toddhurdon2016]

The only thing better than exploring on a leopard 50 is island shopping!

[@54cwalt]

Many thanks Igor! I’ve wanted to sail all my life. This is the year!!! I’m enjoying your videos and the tips you present. 💝

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 🙏🙏🙌🍻🍻 Enjoy sailing ⛵️

[@whocares190]

Igore Vi ste Top , kada budemo spremni za katamaran zovemo vas . 👏

[@IgorStropnik]

Hvala 🙏

[@oraclebjj]

Every remote Caribbean island video i see i have to comment the same each time. It's beatiful to see (once or twice, especially leaving a dark wintery wonderland) but 7days of blazing sun and salt blown air, zero amenities. Zero restaurants. Zero shopping. Zero entertainment. No friends. You're quickly going to have to be comfortable alone doing nothing. Absolutely nothing.i know, I've been there for two weeks. And I'd had enough.

[@IgorStropnik]

Videos don’t show reality but only paradise.

[@scrubbingupwithdr.michaelk9550]

I always learn something from your videos.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@craigwallace2167]

Great vid as allways, allways enjoy you content

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@stefanhoezda3342]

Another great job. Thanks

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@oraclebjj]

Otherwise a great video. I enjoyed your casual unpretentious narration, great for noob sailors and those that wish to one day. Keep up the great work!💪🏻👍🔥😊

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@kj3rd2657]

I would try a holes clamp with rubber cover to hold that noise maker rod in place. 😮

[@IgorStropnik]

Or just put a real vang.

[@akathesquid5794]

Devil's Backbone. Brave on a new boat.

[@IgorStropnik]

Once you have done it it’s not that difficult.

[@antoinesabourin5139]

Great video Igor, informative and entertaining! Regarding sailing performance, do you know if this Leopard 50 has folding propellers or fixed ones? Thanks!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 This one has feather props.

[@raysville7256]

You were only quiet for 4 seconds

[@oraclebjj]

😂 i thought the exact same thing.

[@artyspost]

You use oil as a lubricant on the diesel filter seal and use diesel on an oil filter seal

[@antandshell]

Bahamas is paradise.

[@IgorStropnik]

Yes 🌴🙌🍻

[@DarkSevariant]

Sand Dollar and the bones inside, are dove shaped. It's full of little white doves 🕊🕊

[@kirstenbosch7591]

Thank you!

[@IgorStropnik]

Welcome 🙏

[@shep3481]

Nice work Igor - (2) 800 hp Yanmars 😂

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 80😃

[@shep3481]

You’re experiencing the paradise my wife and I dream about(and many others I’m sure). Your videos give us inspiration - that one day we can find a catamaran and make it there🙏

[@IgorStropnik]

@@shep3481 You can do it 👍

[@fredjr213]

Dunmore town aka Harbour island is where I learned how to sail, lasers and sunfish has a young kid and teenager.

[@IgorStropnik]

It’s nice place and nice beach 👍🙌

[@user-wv4pj2cb9k]

Nice

[@raulromeroaguirre]

Great video Igor, are you planning to go to pig beach?

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 Yes need to see those famous pigs.

[@Hopa-ig9uo]

Hi Igor what's the orange strap going around and on the cat for. Cheers

[@IgorStropnik]

To attach to for safety.

[@anthlaron]

What is the orange/red line running around the deck of the boat? What is it's purpose?

[@IgorStropnik]

You clip your harness in storm so if you fall of boat you stay attached to it.

[@anthlaron]

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the reply.@@IgorStropnik

[@sasanikolic3054]

So what do you think about the Leopard catamarans? And what do you think compering to FP?

[@IgorStropnik]

I like leopard 50 and Saona 47.

[@konferowicz1967]

This sucking out oil....don't you worry about some dirt left on the bottom? Usually when you change oil in engines drain is located in the lowest part of engine ....just wondering if it's something like Yanmaar did not think through

[@IgorStropnik]

There should be drain also and agree would be better. I have seen many pro mechanics always use our method probably because it’s easier but this Yanmar engines run forever anyway.

[@mwide100]

Igor do you prefer Neel 51 or Leopard 50? Which is more comfortable ? Which is better performance?

[@IgorStropnik]

Leopard 50. If you want performance look for other boat as this two are cruising boats.

[@mwide100]

@@IgorStropnik thank you

[@RGF56]

I take it you are changing the oil and filter at 52 hrs but the next is scheduled for 250 hrs ? I would have thought 100hrs would be the interval so 150 .

[@IgorStropnik]

First change is in 50h and than every 250h. Thats what manual says.

[@cestmoi1262]

26:44 Those little bugs are called no-see-ums in Florida. Self explanatory.

[@IgorStropnik]

Don’t-want-no-see-ums 😀

[@criscaires6713]

Which is better to live in, lagoon 46 or leopard?

[@IgorStropnik]

Leopard 50.

[@sv_endless6340]

Just LOVE your Videos. My plan, is to buy a specific sailing catamaran, then owner operate it and charter it out through out the whole year, maybe exception of 2-3 months sailing across the atlantic, charter it in bahamas and then crossing atlantic and charter it there, doing this for about three years. still working out the logistics of it. seasons, weather and so on. But i think it could work well. BAHAMAS from NOV to APRIL and CROATIA from JUNE to SEPT

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 You can do it 👍🙌

[@robinwhyte5458]

I enjoyed the video and the insight on the Leopard 50. Would like to know how the Code Zero performs. Just FYI. Bahamian’s pronounce Cay as “Key”. Also Conch is pronounced “Konk”. Otherwise the Bahamians will look at you funny.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 Locals told me about konk 👍 Code 0 is essential on this boats in light winds. The best ones are made by www.supreme.si

[@claudiof.barbano5530]

Better Croatia /Greece, or Caribbean?

[@IgorStropnik]

All nice 👍

[@mahuyapurkait1561]

Leopard 50 or Neel 52/51 ??

[@IgorStropnik]

Leopard 50
