Hobie Cat 16 - Sailing 7 days Italy - Croatia

[@IgorStropnik]

How do you like Speed, Map and Compass overlay data? Should I keep it in future videos?

[@andrejbar5087]

Odlična stvar Igore, svakako zadrži te prikaze, meni jedino nedostaje još sat, jer bi lakše bilo pratit narativ i orjentaciju zbivanja (prije mjesec dana sličnu rutu sam prošao od Makarske do Pule). Hvala na ovom videu, odlična naracija, kvaliteta slike, tona i rad kamerom.

[@IgorStropnik]

@@andrejbar5087 Hvala 🙏

[@derekalexander5691]

For sure!

[@thedailyfaded5168]

Definitely keep them in videos. Of all the sailors I watch on RUclips, you’re the only one who does that and it’s crucial because when I’m sailing I’m always checking those things myself. Sailing geeks for the win.

[@IgorStropnik]

@ Thanks 🙏🙌👍

[@stigclemens]

Dear Igor, You're a true inspiration. The idea of sailing dinghy over longer distances is genius. Quick sailing, easy access. Pure adventure 😍

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

First thing I learned when studied for skipper licence was Cardinal Points. And there is guy navigating a catamaran through shallow waters like there is no tomorrow :D

The best sailing videos RUclips! I was searching for your last Croatia video with the Hobie FX ONE and then found this one. I've watched the other one 3 times at least. Your adventures inspired me to learn to sail last year and I now have a 14 foot Wanderer dinghy cruiser. My first mini adventure is planned for the end of May this year in the English Lake District. Keep up the great videos!

[@mrblurleighton]

Wait? What happened to "SANDELINE!" I watched your 3hr vid a couple times and laughed every time you shouted that.
Watching you sail Europe has convinced me a s a Caribbean resident to get a small boat I can camp on, and island hop for a while as well. So many places I've never been that just aren't that far away now that I've seen what you do. I guess I don't need a 40 footer to enjoy the sea after all. /s

[@IgorStropnik]

Sandiline is the best 😃 It’s about sailing but bigger is more comfortable.

[@mrblurleighton]

@IgorStropnik I have plans for something bigger but I might try to have some fun even before I can afford that. I enjoy camping and sleeping outdoors anyways.

[@martinhoflich6150]

thanks lgor for taking us along with you , that was a very nice journey not many would have the balls to do

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@masterblaster2626]

Hey Igor, congrats on reaching your destination, and thanks for posting the video. I can't help but by struck by the difference between the huge luxury Cats that you periodically sail and the little tiny 16 foot Cat that you sailed in this video ... its like you turned in a giant when sailing the 16' Cat! Of course, the "real" sailing is done with the little Cat, and you seem to project that in your video. Personally, I've always enjoyed your "adventure" sailing videos with the smaller boats. Hope that you have more in store for us. Safe sailing, as always!

Lovely. Enjoy all your videos. I've got an inflatable catamaran called a catapult from the 80s. Sailed in France, the isles of Scilly and Scotland with it, great fun. I'd love to know the make of the dry suit, looks perfect for this kind of sailing

[@ebenezercunningham9073]

Looks drier than the last one with the higher trampoline haha. I think I remember you mentioning the Hobie 16 would be.

Much drier. Fx is better for sailing so need to build FX with H16 trampoline.

[@egyvalaki5215]

Wow, very inspiring video for an amateur like me. I respect all the courage you've had during this trip. Sleeping in such conditions, seeing all those big waves behind you...omg. Your video raises a lot of questions, but first one is... why in September??? Thanks for sharing, keep it safe.

Hi Igor. Maybe one day you can make a video where you list off your favorite catamarans, least favorite catamarans, and maybe even some monohulls for the poor folks like me hahah. thanks
