Very interesting video. I'm looking for a Leopard 48. This one is well equipped and yes the engines and generator are of concerns. The rigging should also be explored further. I'd be doing a 48V conversion, adding solar and batteries to it. Do you know if it has shaft of sail drives, if SD does it have the 50's or 60's on it?

Glad it was helpful! You make an interesting point. I also follow economics, and it's amazing how much money got printed. Furthermore, a difference between a new "bare" boat with no extras and a used boat fully loaded with comfort and safety upgrades would cost as much as $150,000 more. I struggled with this point when shopping for my catamaran. It will be interesting to see what the market is doing over the next 12 months. Thanks for watching.

The engine hours are probably correct, you cannot change hours on Yanmar’s as its stored in engine module. These charter cats get engines changed during their charter life. The bow sprit can be purchased direct form Cape Town, did an upgrade myself for around $12k including sail, split tramp, and strut. You will need to upgrade spin halyard to double and swivel anchor. Those engines are great, the Common rail engines are problems for offshore, old style injection has no computer to fail. Yes, I’d do the rigging, it’s probably at the end of its life, get a kit from Cape Town, they know the specs. That boat does not seem to have life raft, or its not under the bunk in aft cockpit. Cherry is great looking. L48 with a code zero is great upwind, sure like any other cat, in bigger seas, will have slap, but she will sail at 42 AWA, does better around 48Deg.
@catamaranmentor 9 ай бұрын
Great comment thanks. The more information the better to help buyers. The actual engine hours are lost. I went over the engine hours history and when the history stopped as engine displays changed. My view is based on the trend of engine hours from when it was in charter and they did have records at that time. But they start and run now so a mechanic could do a compression test to help people asses. Thanks for watching. Any ideas for futures videos that help buyers would be appreciated.

Hi Darren, thanks for watching and commenting. We have a 36KG Manson Anchor NZ made (like a Rochna Style) which is a real beast plus 100m of chain. It was actually hard to pull it out of the thick solid mud after the storm. We anchored with over 10X Scope. Unless I was very confident I would choose anchor over a mooring. Anchors can drag slower but many many stories of boats wrecked from moorings breaking off. Thanks for the thought thou. How did you enjoy the video? Did you watch the whole length?
@DarrenBainbridge Жыл бұрын
There are mornings, and then there are proper MORNINGS. Would differently be up to you and the owner to work things out though. Have sheltered in Islington Bay myself in a blow. Seems like you didn't get as strong a winds as I would have expected in the cyclone. Simular number to what sheltered from. To be honest I skipped forward a far bit. Was really interested in how you feared in the winds at anchor with the big cat.
@BrassLock Жыл бұрын
I enjoyed your problem solving AND the fact that you gave yourself a "badge" (or a "tick" 😊) of self approval, which encourages you to tackle the next daunting challenge. Here in Chiang Mai we have an un-insulated roof, so to compensate a little, I've installed three enormous bamboo blinds to create some shade on the concrete wall facing the sun. We don't often get much wind, but when we do, they seem to be from either thunderstorms, or of the "katabatic" variety, blowing off the nearby Doi Suthep mountain. Of course the gusts blow the blinds around like crazy, so I have to monitor the winds just like sailors do, and quickly reef the blinds before a squall gets to do any damage. There are lots of other maintenence tasks to do around our house, and pets to nurse due to their age. So I can imagine what it's like trying to keep your maintenance schedule under control (because your floating home will only survive if you do) whilst at the same time getting sufficient fun and rest into the remaining time available.

Hi Dav Snow, Thanks for your very insightful comment. Great to have viewers like you enjoying the video. I do find the maintenance a major challenge so you are right I guess I have to prep talk myself. Sailing does have lots of analogies to other aspects of life like your blind example.

You should have an anchor swivel on that chain.
@catamaranmentor Жыл бұрын
Interesting comment thanks, a lot of people say an anchor swivel is another failure point and there was a bent one on Coco when I brought her which I removed. For this anchor I did drop it by myself which means I might have dropped the chain down on top of the anchor too much with out somebody on the helm reversing as chain goes out. But I did back back on it and felt it set. It was a very tidal anchorage so also possible it wrapped as tide changed directions. All food for thought. Do you use and prefer anchor swivels? Ps Elon Musk says the best part is no part 😉😎
@kennethhammond6683 Жыл бұрын
@@catamaranmentor Yes some say that a swivel its just another part to fail, A boat is really just a large parts bin, to my way of thinking in this case the anchoring system and technique failed, without a swivel why that is so could be leveled at a number of things, the actual anchor type, the amount of chain deployed in the conditions, to much chain out in conditions of calm and counter current with the chain moving back and forth over the anchor causing a tangle, or deploying the anchor and then dropping 50 metres of chain on top of it, it is up to each skipper to determine what equipment they are comfortable with and what technique works consistently well for them. PS i see Elon's latest launch sunk his Rocket. This looks like a classic case of the boat winding the chain around the anchor. Under different circumstance it could cost the boat or worse.

I agree with your decision to move into deeper water away from the shoreline. I also agree with your decision to stay within the 30 feet deep, large harbor.
