“It’s day two and we still have plenty of food” you’re killing me 🙌🙌👊

[@IgorStropnik]

Junk food is going low..

[@roscopico]

You know the crew is all men because they never put away the food. Just threw it in saloon and ate from there :)

[@avail1.]

thanx very much...you friends have real nice attitude out on ocean, where only place you can get away from each other is in toilet, or grab an anchor and jump. it was nice you explain in phases appreciate honesty🖐

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks Ross!

[@HopeOfJoe]

Great sail, Igor. And honest about the Lagoon 50 and some shortcomings on the boat. Thanks.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks :)

[@denislevochkin9494]

I very like your videos! No false, very calm voice, good humor and it is really interesting to watch yachts on the water not just some walkthrough somewhere in a bay. Good job, subscribed!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 😊

[@lightning9279]

Thanks for the honest review. Channels with this same boat refuse to give the honest truth.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 😊

[@minimal1511]

the amont of food reminds me of my shopping before self-isolation quarantine. i think i will bake bread at home for next two or three years.

I hope you and your team are safe and enjoying journey. I am really enjoying your video. I much prefer yours than other edited and animated clips. Thank you and I look forward to hear other stories soon.

[@bowlinggreenoil]

In my experience, you were to far north. I've had consistent winds at 16 degrees.

[@IgorStropnik]

We had to many cyclones north of us. Also cyclone Sebastian passed north. 16 would make no difference only longer distance to BVI. Boats that crossed on 19deg 2 weeks after us had good winds.

[@Anthony-wf6oj]

Check your Bulk heads on Lagoon 450s before crossing atlantic. They cheaped out on construction of the boat leading to cracked bulk heads.

[@IgorStropnik]

Everybody talking about it.

[@cestmoi1262]

On pollution I agree with you. There are places that are absolutely atrocious. But these activists transfer these places to the rest of the planet and come up with idiotic statements. As usual, you are a realist. Love to watch your videos.

that looks so awesome, its a little diffrent from the little dinghys tho ;) but great video anyways love your vid keep up the great work

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 😊 Little dinghys are much more fun.

[@jazomir]

I was always told not to bring cardboard boxes on to a boat to avoid bringing cockroaches or their eggs on board.

[@IgorStropnik]

That is true. We got rid of it as soon as possible. Now after few months there is no cockroaches on boat.

[@drkyoto]

You’re a great singer!

[@tronwars7130]

Just one thought though, shouldn't those boat failures have been picked up on inspection before doing a long sail?

[@IgorStropnik]

You try to find as many but some show up later as crossing ocean...

[@Nowehi305]

Great video👍

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 😊

[@sebjo9273]

would you rather cross the atlantic with a lagoon 55 or an amel 60 ?
short handed

[@IgorStropnik]

Never sailed Amel 60 but i would chose it over Lagoon because of easier access to boom and main sail, no need to climb on flybridge, probably faster, more fun to sail. With Lagoon you get catamaran stability, catamaran problems if wind is 180deg and very nice saloon living area. I would take Amel 60 for my next trip because I would like to try his good reputation and I was not happy with Lagoon 50 performance and technical design.

[@107jester]

What was the total on that grocery bill? 8wks provisions for 8 men,,,very curious what that cost was!

[@IgorStropnik]

Atlantic crossing food and water was around 1600eur. There is Lidl shop on Tenerife with normal prices.

[@daniellibby3849]

Great video!!! My wife and I are looking for a liveaboard catamaran to sail around the world. Our top 3 are Leopard 50, Lagoon 51, and Seawind 1600. Of the 3 which do you feel is the best, or is there one you would recommend I look at?

[@IgorStropnik]

Haven’t sailed any of this 3 yet and also haven’t sailed a cat that I would say she is the one.

[@thomasmcclellan1466]

what is your favorite catamaran 40-50 feet? Great videos!

[@IgorStropnik]

Lagoon 450 for charter cruising and Outremer 45 for fun and performance.

[@motor_viking]

hi looking many of you uploads , we are thinking of getting a cat , around year 2005 to 2012 looking and lagoon 500 and Fountaine Pajot Salina 48, in that rice range what is a good long distance cat in this price range , we have sailed before and the goel is a atlantic crossing in 2022 hope you can give a advice

[@IgorStropnik]

Lagoon 470, 570, 380 and 450 are good boats. New boats not that good except they look good and apartment comfort.

[@IgorStropnik]

And Lagoon 500 could be good boat. Never sailed it only walked on it in marina.

[@motor_viking]

@@IgorStropnik what about the flybridge is this good , just thinking that it could be cold and difficult to be social with the others on long routes

[@IgorStropnik]

Flybridge I like a lot on 450. On 450 you can close it well and takes 30+ knots easily. There is enough space for 8 people to hang around but you don't see what is going on downstairs so dangerous with kids. L50 fly is not that good. Sport top has other advantages like easy access, good overview of people on board.

[@ygodbout1]

Going 7 knots on 25 knots of winds. That's the slowest catamaran I've ever seen.

[@IgorStropnik]

It was frustrating. With winds from side it is maybe fun.

[@rightright6582]

@@IgorStropnik why 7 kn on 25 wind speed. this is wrong absolutely...could you explain.

[@rightright6582]

@@IgorStropnik why 7 kn on 25 wind speed. this is wrong absolutely...could you explain.

[@IgorStropnik]

@@rightright6582 7kn is good speed for any sailing vessel. But in 25kn I would expect more from L50. Sail plan and hull shape is too conservative. But it is OK as this is comfortable cruiser for charter. We sailors just want boat to sail,fly,glide througt water. Old lagoons of this size would double the speed.

Igor, where is your new solo adventures? Hope this summer could make my own)

[@IgorStropnik]

7 months old but it is normal to brake things on long legs like this. Other boats we meet broke much more.

Are you guys transporting this boat for an owner/operator or chartering company....or just sailing for kicks?

I have lemonade every morning. Supposed to be healthy.

[@seanruffolo6083]

9 knots in 27 of wind... yikes. Everyone always says lagoons aren't much slower than the performance cruisers but every blue water lagoon video says otherwise.

[@IgorStropnik]

L450 and L42 are better but still not performance boats. L50 is big disappointment regarding speed.

To much food. You can survive 10 days with no food as long as you have water.

Did u ever try it? You can survive much more. We ate most of the food and it's good to have a little reserve.
