Hello Igor, I want to congratulate you on the best sailing channel around for me. It is so informative and interesting about the things and details that one really wants to know. I love your long videos, where we can really take it all in. Your comments are exactly what I want to know. I have been interested in the Neel 51 for a long time and you are confirming a lot of things I suspected. I am extremely glad that the finish is simple and cheap. It makes for an incredibly affordable amazing boat to go anywhere fast and in confort. I can't wait to see the following episodes to learn as much as possible and enjoy this beautiful ride with you. Do not hesitate to take your time and give as much technical details as possible about all aspects of your experience with the boat. I love your relaxed and unpretentious attitude, you are a true sailor, the crew must be feeling very safe and happy with you. The owner is lucky to have you do the delivery. Once again thank you and have a great 2022!
This was the most informative sailing information I have found on RUclips - thanks for all the great info, i am learning so much!
Thanks tonewreck1 🙌🍻
Thanks Nero 👍🍻
I'm not a sailor but I watch sailng videos and Igor's videos give a nice mix of everything but has also explained in detail sails and equipment ...pros and cons .
He has experience on many different boats and can offer his own experienced preferences.
I agree with this comment 💯 I learn so much. You’re the best Igor 👍
One of few truly sailling channels around, pure sailling, technical information etc etc ... congrats Igor
Thanks Carlos 👍🍻
Thank you for taking time to explain the navigation to us novices! I’ve been enjoying your videos.
Thanks Greg!
The most informative sailing description I have come across. I almost felt like I was aboard, listening to you.
Thanks 🍻
I can’t wait for Igor to tell us how this boat sails.
I love how Igor goes into great detail on things like the radar. It's so informative and nobody else does this. Thanks bud!
Thanks 🙏
I read the fit and finish are Ikea like but that isn't necessarily a bad thing if the price is affordable....great video Igor , you are a natural on camera....relaxed and informative....
Thanks Rick 🍻
Thank you so much for your instructional videos on the Neel 51. You are a great instructor, even my mother and father love your 4K videos. I was going to purchase the Neel-51 but the price was too expensive for my budget fully equipped with all the toys. So, I decided to step down to purchase a new fully loaded Neel 47. Most people don't realize the Neel product line was designed by a famous team: team naval architect Mark Lombard and racer Eric Bruneel. I recently watched a famous youtube channel of a 45 ft monohull making an upwind passage while getting a massive ass pounding and making the entire crew feed the fish. This makes me very grateful for Neel comfort and safety. 😃
Thanks Jon! Quality product Neel.
Best sailing channel around. Living the life mate. Cheers from Australia.
Thanks 👍🍻
It’s like we get to sail with you and hear your tips and stories. I like the funny ending too with the round can sardines. 😂
Thanks 🍻
Игорь привет 😃 спасибо за твои видео, очень много рассказываеш реальных важных вещей, продолжай, и ещё раз спасибо 😃
Igor, you're an inspiration my friend. Im loving your videos.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you for this super informative video, especially on the sail configuration! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks AJ 👍🍻
Thanks ignor. I learned so much from your video than all the video I have watched (probably thousand of them). So much information and so detail and so easy to understand. Even sextant you made it so easy to understand. Thank you. Keep up good work. I can’t wait for next video
Thanks Cuong 🍻
Top man Igor, another good upload, thoroughly enjoyed this one and very much looking forward tot he next instalment of the series.
Thanks Phil 🍻👍
Igor someday we will do this with you , I have a 60 sunreef sail and I need to step my game, ha, so you just always delivering boats and sailor for life, great stuff great breakdowns keep on thy path.
Thanks Rob 🍻
Groovy and helpful vlog.
So good to see you are hooked in and wearing a life jacket.I see so many channels, even with kids, with no life jackets and no life line.
Agree 🙌👍🍻
@@IgorStropnik I could not believe my eyes…
I won’t name who, as i do love their channel.
But with a new born child in a sling… on deck throwing a rope… with no life vest and no life line… some would say: ‘but only maneuvering in a marina’.
But you slip, you hit your head… fall in… game over (unless you are lucky).
I used to paraglide and never understood why we had to wear helmets… until the day i was ground handling getting ready to take off and got picked up by a fluke gust and dragged back up the slope and my head hit a big rock and smashed the helmet to shit. I was shaken… and pulled a few muscles. But I got why there were safety features.
@@julianbatcheler9970 Unfortunately we don’t learn from others mistakes 😞
Love those videos, Thank you very much for sharing all those great info ! Keep it up💪

Another great informative video keep up the good work. Thank you
Thanks Steve 🍻🙌
Te felicito !
Es uno de lo mejores videos de navegación que he visto.
Gracias por incluir subtítulos.
Aunque a mitad del video dejan de funcionar.
Se aprende mucho con las explicaciones.
Muchas gracias !
Thanks Michel 🍻
great explanation about for-wind sailing strategy. Thanks!
Thanks 🙌👍🍻
Outstanding! You are a awesome captain! Please stay in touch. Looking forward to getting to know you and your adventures.
🍻
Dude, I would have loved to be a part of this crew! The Neel is very intriguing* I'm so glad you got a chance to check out and share your opinions on it... I'm super excited to watch your journey. BTW I could have stowed away in one of those storage compartments lol. So glad you are here have an awesome year.
Thanks Nicole 👍
When Boredom settled in the layout of the sardines was the only event of interest 🤣
👍🍻
The one sailboat, Uma, is a big sailing Vlog couple. They are great
I like this video a lot. I feel like I'm learning as part of the crew
Thanks 🙏
You are a great sailor Igor.
Thanks 🙏
Great video. Very entertaining and informative. Thank you.....
Thanks 🙏
Great video and great information, well done done
Thanks Brian 🍻👍
Thank you for your explanations of things you do during your voyage. It is very helpful because I am a beginner. I am considering purchasing a Neel trimaran as well. Safe journeys !
Thanks 🙏
Fabulous catamaran sailor. Thnx Much
Thanks 🙏
love it, sailed in Yugoslavia then, in the 1972 'ish
Hi Igor, love the vidoes. Please keep it up :)
Thanks 🍻👍
Hvala za odličen kanal in informacije.
Hvala 🍻👍
Fantastic channel, Cheers
Thanks John 🙌🍻
looks like your having a great day
🍻
Thanks, really good tips🤟

Waiting ...
Take a shot everytime he says Lagoon! He said it at least 30 times. 😊

Hi Igor. So on hull 35 there will be a king size bed in the master state room, tall carbon fiber mast and boom, high modulus sails, 13.5 kw generator plus 9kw 24v alternator on the engine, 6 lithium ion batteries 48v 33kw, a ton of solar panels, 60,000 btu AC plus diesel heater, throttle at the nav station as well as the helm, toggle steering at nav station, extra freezer in cockpit, plus, plus. Over 61 years I have never been without a sailing boat and have Neel's top selling broker on my team. Upgrading the engine to 110hp was because of me. Actually I wanted 150hp but it was not possible. In any event I am really enjoying your channel. I wish you a safe passage and fair winds. The engine room is amazing. What hull number are you sailing on?
Sounds cool! Don't know the hull number as I only sailed that boat for 1 month...just the crossing.
Oliver, Can you elaborate more on your build? I am a member of the Neel Forum and possibly seen your early post. I believe the shaft drive (V-Drive) was new for this year after hull #31. Are you working with Gregor? If you want to talk offline or another media/area...let me know. Thanks.
Nice edit Igor, nice thing about a asymmetrical spinnaker and a cat down wind is you can move the tack to the windward bow and fly it from there. Nice info for new cruisers for sure !
Thanks Maja🍻 This boat didn’t have fittings for that but grate solution otherwise 👍
Igor, schönes Video, aber bitte etwas kürzer die Videos zusammenschneiden. Dass ein Code Zero und ein Parasailor gut sind, hast Du mehrfach nun wiederholt.
Sardinen aus der Büchse? Da war der Törn mit der Lagoon 52 von Amst.-Med. doch noch ein richtiges Gaumenschmaus, oder?
Love it
🙌👍
After your comments about falling in the water at 7kts with a tether - it might be worth looking at the "Backtow" lifejackets from teamo - they're designed to flip you on your back and tow you backwards through the water (they were designed after someone drowned whilst being pulled by their tether), no personal connection with the company (or experience of using them - but the system looks good!)
Thanks Tom! Look’s interesting👍
The furniture, the feeling... We are very far fril a Nautor Swan...
Hi Igor. I wanted to ask you if I could use a few clips from your NEEL 51 trans Atlantic series in an upcoming preliminary review of the new NEEL 52 that I am planning. I enjoyed your comments on the motion of the boat, the lack of squeaking, and the comfort of the aft facing settee in the cockloon. I would love to include these in my video. Please let me know if this would be OK. Many thanks. Dave.
Hi Igor, just want to say keep up the good work. i just bought a trimaran and hope to sail around the world in it one day. Learning a lot from your comments! Keep them coming! Where can I go to to find out more information about you ? just curious, like country of birth, life history etc. Thanks. :)
Thanks 🍻All I have is my webpage and instagram.
Srecnga pa zdravga :) super kanal zame zelo poucen , vecina kanalov ti samo kaze kako fino se imajo ,vsec mi je ker iskreno podas mnenje o plovilu in sicer da poves dejanske slabosti ,ki so meni osebno bolj pomembni podatki.....se naperej tako tudi v letu 2022 , lep pozdrav z gorenjske
Hvala Gregor! Srecno! 🍻🍾
Ako ti zatreba tijelo za drzat gvardiju, posalji mi poruku. Nastavi tako i sve najbolje u novoj!!!
Hvala Sasha! Sretno 2022!
Takes note: make sure to have parasail in sail inventory. Got it!
Hello Igor , I love your videos and your Borat accent/sence of humor.
Great scenic footage great sailing teachings !
Canadian flag ? Is this a Canadian boat ?
I really like the stern view video to show the water speed and waves condition . I feel like I'm on board .
Thanks Stephen 🍻Yes 🇨🇦 boat.
Have learned a lott from you! Thanks! Loved the bit about up to date safety equipment and keep the tips about sail trimming coming. Why go on a big cat or thri that doesent have a power sail and a code cero, given what you learned in the last year or so?
Thanks 🍻 big front sails are must have on these multihulls.
ais is secondary radar information. Based on transponder you are broadcasting your name, position heading and indicated speed. All other ais are doing it. Receivers receiving and displays displaying. Those boats from Africa that are worrying you don’t transmit on ais but often receiving.
I just found out that dolphins don't have nasal passages; can they detect odor I don't know, but interesting.
Thank you
Thanks 🍻
I really appreciate that you talk about the sailing it self and how to trim the sails etc. Really informative! More youtube-sailors should do the same! :) Really longing for my first crossing! Greatings from the cold lands of Sweden where my boat is on land at the moment so nice to watch you sail instead! Igor, are your other sailors camera shy? ;)
Thanks 🍻yes not fans of 🎥
I need someone like you to be part of this project...
Tell me more about the project
Doing 6kts on 12kts following wind is very good but doing 7-8kts with 22kts wind is not impressive at all. Just about any boat can do that. Either you were conservative on the sail area or the mainsail was not enough perpendicular to the wind. Impressive is the easy motion of the boat. But a thing of concern would be a big following wave invading the cabin of even breaking the big glass door. Anyways, I really enjoyed the explanations about the radar, AIS and the sextant. Keep it up.
Thanks Antonio 🍻
Igor, nice to see the Canadian flag. The rocking of the Trimaran seems a little disconcerting regarding the chances of losing your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
🙌🍻
Great videos, so good for a novice sailor. I am 60 this year, I have no sailing experience but have my first lessons in March, a 5 day course. Once I have all my necessary certificates I will be buying a 40 foot sailing yacht to sail from cardigan Bay to the Greek Islands single handedly. I have looked at a couple of bavarias, but to be honest I don't know what to buy. What do you suggest Igor ???
Thanks for videos, keep up the good work.
Regards David 👍😁
Thanks David🍻 Choosing perfect boat is like looking for perfect wife and only you will know when you find it.
@@IgorStropnik
Oh no I'm doomed. My x wife took me under, I hope my new boat doesn't. 😩 🙃🤣
@@davidjames8560 have you looked at a Nyad? Ran Sailing ( nice channel to watch) have a beauty and a secondhand one might be perfect allowing you to adapt it to your personal taste.
Hi David..can i suggest get some experienced crew on your maiden voyage and sites such as crewseekers etc will provide you with many options. It sounds like you have a boat lined up in Cardigan bay? I am based in Greece and now 3 years full time liveaboard here with Greek residency base on Kefalonia , Ionian islands. Happy to offer any advice re Greece etc but really try to find someone to join you on your first major trip. The bavaria / med boat thing is all subjective to med mooring ie stern too along with aft cockpit and cabin layout..most importantly they are not built for going across a serious ocean..if your staying in the med and not moving much in the winter they are a safe bet and re sale is good
@@IgorStropnik skillful short reply Igor
So I'm going to order a oneoff. 65/75" perfect mix between a Rapido a d a Swan. The shipyard :JFA...
Like to hear your progress with your project. Keep us posted. Thank you
One thing you haven't mentioned in terms of perfomance multihulls - Dazcat, not that far from France might be worth a look...
@@tomriley5790 honestly, i hate everything ciming frim England. This people killed Jeanne d'Arc. And nit even European aby more...
Pozdrav Igore i hvala na videima... :) Zelim da kupim katamaran silent yacht , znaci onaj bez jedara na solarnu energiju ... E sad ne kontam da li mi je potrebna ikakva dozvola, koja ? Hvala I Srecna Nova Godina !!!
Izgleda super! Jedino jarbol fali 😀 Yachtmaster A ili RYA yachtmaster. Sretno 🍻☃️🎄
I really liked the downwind sail lecture. How do you feel about drifters?
Thanks 🙏 I love Code 0 and Parasail.
Hello from Chicago! I don't sail, have no idea how to but I watched the whole video. I just wished he had an Code Zero and a para sail even though I have no idea what they are!
😃🍻
A percice and get class on sailing.
Great teaching and receding.
Thanks 🙏
Hola amigo Igor favor el subtitulo en ESPAÑOL no anda de la mitad del video para adelante agradecería si lo podes arreglar Yo fabrico catamaranes de aluminio en Argentina provincia de Entre Rios ciudad Parana y aprendemos mucho de tus navegadas felicitaciones por los videos gracias
What kind of Catamarans do you build? Web page?
Igor is a very recent new find on youtube world of sailing chanels..gotta say delivery skippers like Igor know their shit and can cross compare like no one else..literally.. from all spects of kit to sails..and actual boats they can save you some big headaches...everytime i hear a lagoon mentioned these days i feel very sorry for their owners around the world,,thanks to parlay revival for that one and zingaro footage of a 50 creaking along the caribbean was a sight / sound to behold..anyway float on but if your buying ..first one or tenth boat..a delivery skip will give it you straight
5.5sog with 8.5tws is really fast for a boat that size. I was expecting it to be faster in higher winds from what you were showing earlier in the trip. I think if you were more familiar with the boat and had some different sails to use, it would be a bit faster, more than 1knot. From others speculation, I'm surprised at you saying its very quiet during passage with no structure creaking. the seas aren't that high but it seems like the boat is very stable, not leaning or bouncing much.
We where overloaded. It’s weight sensitive boat. Empty would be much faster. Very quiet boat.
Hello Igor! Do You Feel That a Trimaran, Moves With Waves, More Than a Catamaran? I've Noticed the Trimaran's Hull Is Lower in Water Than the Amas do. I Sense That the Boat Would Rock More Side to Side, Than a Catamaran. What Say You?
Great Videos! When I Finally Purchase My Either catamaran or Trimaran, I Hope to Hire You Out, for a 6 Month Tour, and Learn Everything That You Know. ha..!
Trimaran has more movement than Catamaran.
would you help me sail a boat back from Virgin Gorda in the lower Bahamas, to miami beach?
If I have time yes.
Wondering what air temperatures are there on open sea during day when i see you in jacket. :-)
Wind cools you down 🤷♂️
👍
Hi Igor
Did you ever been victim of pirates attack? Are there any areas you know beeing at risk of pirates in the Med?
Europe med is very safe. Africa maybe not.
Couldn't stop watching. Excellent camera work, sound and content. Yeoman job explaining and conveying all aspects of the crossing. Very curious what you think the speed would have been with the downwind sails? Think layout of Neel 51 looks ideal DT work and play, the way it rides and smoothness says a lot. I get there are people who want better finishes but the price seems good value. If you can keep speed in double digits with the right sails you are getting comfort and performance which is what makes this boat interesting to me. With satellite high speed coming, the sailing lifestyle may become more popular.
Thanks 🙏🍻 I find finish nice. No need for better.
@@IgorStropnik I agree. If need be, I can choose specific upgrades over time that mean a lot to me. With Starlink satellites on horizon, nothing stopping live aboard remote work. But aside from the great features, what kind of speed do you think you would have hit with the parasail or code zero sails. Not a sailor yet but Neel 51 opens my eyes.
@@Abebe345 once you go over 10kn for extended time it gets less comfortable on this size boats. Cruising average of 7kn is the goal. Also fast sailing is hard on crew and takes energy and concentration.
@@IgorStropnik More ultra marathon than sprint. Gives you time to look away. The high bench looks a nice place to spend time on watch.
@@Abebe345 Bench is nice 👍
what camera are you using? awesome quality!
Dji pocket 2
good. dont sail to far.
Hi Igor... Do you ever Captain a boat for an owner for months or a year?
Not yet but probably will.
😊
What wind forecast are you using. its satellite but you did not mention what forecasting system you were using?
Wind predict
Boa tarde comandante
If you wish to sail with a Catamaran, emulate Igor
Como eu faço parar conseguir uma vaga aí nesse barco
Do you ever go fishing off of the boats? If I’m sailing that many days in a row I would want to try and catch some fish. If you do I would love videos on that!
Sometimes Tuna and Mahimahi.
@@IgorStropnik next time you sail I would love to see that in action
WD40 Duct tape and don't forget cable ties but be careful the last one it can snap or be damaged by sun and sea water so don't get cheap Chinese ties. : )
🙌🍻
With a large code 0 or a spinnaker, isn't some form of backstay needed to protect the top of the mast from the forward forces
Cats have side stays angled back a lot so no need for backstay.
@@IgorStropnik thank you for that answer. But if they had a backstay rather than rearward facing shrouds couldn't the boom be let out further allowing better performance downwind?
@@davidantill6949 Yes but than you can’t have big cat mainsail.
@@IgorStropnik one could move the mast more for'ard like the Neel 51 and have a retractable (swinging up/down and potentially sideways) bowsprit for light air (snubbed) sails?
@@davidantill6949 Exactly ! That’s what i did on my 45days Scandinavia trip and it worked the best.
Do you think only one motor is enough on a trimaran ?
Good bowtruster well cooled or 2 engines but all depends from purpose of the boat
🌟🌟👍👌👌
Pretty nice and educating video but why don't you ever show the rest of the crew ??
They don’t like camera 🎥
What brand/type of sextant do you have?
Davis mark 25
Is piracy a concern sailing that route ?
Maybe close to Africa.
Do you prefer the trimaran over a Catamaran?
Probably no.
Safety checks are a good thing as long as they are actually just that. With a secondary check for trafficking of anything illegal. The later a slightly grey area. If there is evidence of this ok. As with a cop and a traffic stop. You have protections against unreasonable search and seizures. Not ok if this is a fishing expedition with civil asset forfeiture their aim. If you have weapons and you are legally allowed to have them they are legally and correctly stored. They cannot take them. As with any interaction record. Know your local laws for the area you are in be that on land air or water. Also know and stand by your rights.
How about sunreef 80 is there any boat to buy?
Haven’t sailed it yet. They look nice but probably slow when sailing.
Is this your neel 51?
No
