I have a friend who drove a similar Catana to the Canaries a year ago by an absolutely similar route!) I myself, when I get around to it, will do the same all the best)
Thanks Igor. Another no nonsense informative video and some great sailing. I would be interested in your opinion of the Seawind 1600 cat if you have had the opportunity to sail on one.
Nice to See that Leopard 50 Irvette. It was launched when we were in Cape Town in Late 2020. I have spoken to the owner Paul quite a bit before they sailed north. Not totally sure I like some of the features of the new Catana 50. I do like the opening front windows. That will help while on anchor for sure. No back space is not for me even though we have canvas up there on our boat … The ikea furniture style is also not for us. Pity you guys did not sail to Porto Santo then Madeira then down to Canaries. A lovely couple of islands you must sail to some time. Maja has been to Morocco and really enjoyed her holiday there. We had a Catana 53 with curved dagger boards docked next to us in Thailand and that I think is a very nice Catana with the helms still at the back. we have a big 82 m2 screecher up front on our bow spirt on a harken furler. It moves us in the winds less than 11 knots. We have a lot of that here in Asia.
Igor, do you have an idea of what kind of sailing vessel it was doing 13 knts...According to their MMSI, Addiction is a swiss boat 20mx9m. Must be a cat? I am asking because it looks like Addiction stopped in Las Palmas Gran Canaria as well not far from where Mystic is. I thought maybe you had a chance to discover what brand it is. Just curious... Thx for your great video again!
your videos are always a good weekend food. thanks a lot for your work. could you let us know, which one is the one of choice for different purposes? in detail, i would like to know what you think of neel compared to catana-like cats
Interesting boat. This catana looks like the best deal in performance cats at the moment. That dinghy is stupid. What happens when you get a 200kg dinghy aground, or you have to carry it up the beach?
@@IgorStropnik Pozdrav Igore, Ti ne možeš bez katamarana. Volim jedriti ali nikada nisam bio na katamaranu ,dok nisam napravio jedan kratki transfer ,naravno sa S.Fegićem. Baš je bilo super.⛵⛵⛵Pozdrav...
Wow, there is not much boat in these 50ft :) considering that this boat costs around EUR 1m, performance should better be really good. I wonder how big is the market for this kind of design, looks like it is neither particularly fast nor particularly comfortable/practical.
Try putting net instead of sand in the water. Orcas always come from behind and are clever. If you let your net into the water with 20 kilograms at the corners, the animals actually know what the net can do and usually let go. They are very clever. Only protect them from behind with a net and then you're good.
How on earth do you spread out a net of any horizontal (or vertical, for that matter) depth? You have to lay a net, not just drop it over the stern. You won't be laying a net when orcas are around!
@@moonhand8311 prepare net on Land. If orcas come from behind, you only have to lower the net into the water with the weights. The net will never be vertically downwards as you are in motion. It's all about keeping the animals away. You can also use soap if the net bothers you. These are just Tips that have worked 3 times so far.
Love your presentations that's worth a 'like', but the boat is not. (Man what a mess these people make, as a sailor I think everything should be stowed away and clear 100% of the time.. then you mention "Theres' no storage space" thats bad) this boat is doing maybe 1 kn more than those cruising cats in 50 ft. And thats logic. water line length determines more than anything. The Bali style cockpit is a nice feature, but then the galley.. the nav station, the front cabin, the lack of hatches its all not great. Catana missed the opportunity to deliver. (thats my opinion anyway). Still wondering what type of boat passed you at 13 kn.. If I have to gamble its a long boat 80-100 ft
How do you like Speed, Map and Compass overlay data? Should I keep it in future videos?
I like it Igor, though not needed as you drop NERD info every 10 minutes in your videos.
If not too much trouble in post production. keep it! 😁
Really enjoyed all your commentary on the boat's pluses and minuses as well as routefinding to the Canaries. What a dream trip!!
Thanks Ben 🙏🙏🙏🙌👍🍻
Perfect....I'll be watching tonight and hello from Texas, USA.
Hello🙌👍🍻
l love the long waves on the Atlantik. Man you have a dreamjob and you know what you are talking about , a true seaman ✌️
Thanks 🙏🙌🍻
Beautiful catamaran. Greetings from Romania

Odkril kak mesec al dva nazaj in pogledal kr nekaj tega, pol pa se narocil. Res vrhunski prispevki Igor 👍
Hvala🙏

Great cat good perfonmance speed and conford...🥇
👍🙌🍻
The lack of deck hatchets is to avoid unwanted sun heating in to the hulls in warm climates.
Maybe sliding solid cover would be solution.
An owner of one of these CAT's on another channel stated the top speed he's reached on theirs is 23.9 knots.
I would like to see video.

Beautiful as always Igor. Any tips for someone who never sailed catamaran before?
Thanks 🙏 Take sailing course 🙌👍

I like Catana more as 2 rudders, 2 engines, easier to manoeuvre, more comfortable on waves.
Interesting boat. This catana looks like the best deal in performance cats at the moment. That dinghy is stupid. What happens when you get a 200kg dinghy aground, or you have to carry it up the beach?
Yes, i prefer Highfield with 25hp yamaha hand steering
Thanks Igor for call me a geek and nerd 10 times.
😃👍🙌🍻
Orcas by day & narco speedboats by night the straits are like the wild west !
Exactly 👍
Interesantan Katamaran 👍👍👍Pozdrav⛵⛵⛵

Ok...next year from Monfalcone to Agadir on a Hobie cat 😂
Why not 😃🙌👍🍻

It’s on comfortable side and sails better than charter catamarans.
my plans for this evening just got upgraded
Thanks 🙏
Some depth charges will fend off the orcas

If you let your net into the water with 20 kilograms at the corners, the animals actually know what the net can do and usually let go. They are very clever.

Igor When did you leave Gibraltar? We are in Gibraltar too planning to sail in same direction
I can see on the screen ( 56:17 for example ) 12th of Aug 😅
In August
Why on earth are multi-million pound catamarans still using impeller wheels? A joke.
