Man, I love the new design of the Bering. It doesn't hurt to get the tour by a handsome man such as yourself. The 2 of us could run that Bering with no problem at all. We would definitely live abroad and travel the world. I get paid no matter where I live. You could take an early retirement, and we would have a great life.

Igor you are the best but also the funniest sailor I have ever met or seen on youtube. Great information on you series on Catamaran's, I plan on purchasing on in the next year and the anxiety of going from a monohull to a mutlihull has been lessened by watching your vids. Thank you Sir and keep up the on boat sailing adventures!

[@svBluePearl]

Ok , I just binge watched all of 6 hours of ‘catamaran sailing’ with Capt Igor , and as Igor used to take care of ‘our’ boat (before we bought it from the active cruises company) I now know where all the little smart things come from ! Dinghy fenders , carabiner hooks , down haul lines , added blocks etc . Igor added them and they make life so much easier ! I just need to learn how to sail because even after 2 years (from Croatia to panama) I dislike how slow the boat is ? But it’s probably sail trim as Igor says the L42 is / should be just as fast as the L46 ! Anyway , Igor practices what he preaches and I love his down to earth approach incl the spaghetti and what typically goes wrong Blue Pearl Too prev ‘Mala Kate’ Ps were taking good care of her just like you did 😊

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 Nice to hear you and boat are doing well! Wish you the best! 🍻

Most people don't let anywhere near enough chain out - even experienced skippers. If you can free dive or snorkel it's worth taking a look and seeing how the chain ended up...

[@holisticaustralia]

I really enjoyed your movie, I have a 30ft cat and would one day like a bigger boat, the 46 looks like a good size, a good idea teaching people the rules of the sea and good seamanship, I sometimes have troubles as I am usually on my own with one outboard in the centre, that means my 30ft boat sometimes feels like a 46fter. Thanks for all your good advice 🙏😊 3:51:05 Bollard I believe, in English.

That last part so typical of marinas world wide. People need to learn seamanship before they ruin their boats and others boats. Love your cat it's awesome and this was a great informative video.

[@Sailnationuae]

We just did this route (July) and watched this episode in preparation. Unfortunately as we rounded the bend and were just 10nm from the anchorage we lost our steering gear and drifted for a day before being found by Yemeni fishermen who towed us 50nm back to socotra. I remember those waves and wind speeds well! Our boat is still anchored next to the wreck, awaiting to be fixed!

[@jport3707]

[@wesleyduke4546]

Sorry to see that the kids are unwell these days. Hope they bounce back soon 🙏

[@brianballard1729]

Remember that the KEY for catamaran cruising and making effective passages is V>M>G. Velocity made good (not necessarily only to windward) and includes tacking both upwind and downwind... Most cats have a preferred angle related to wind angle, so always look to your instruments for best VMG to your destination, and tack according to best VMG.

[@IgorStropnik]

Exactly 👍 When racing Lagoons I always get the best results sailing sharp upwind and butterfly downwind.

[@bryanfriend7642]

Other then skipping the Columbia River bar which as u said numerous times about planning . Which is a must but the last 15times over this bar the boat was on autopilot and wonderful conditions all because of planning. Astoria is great and illwaco is a nice little town with a gas dock and England marine . It is a tight entrance so stay within the bouys and follow the chart.

Such beautiful cruising grounds but it suck being on edge all the time waiting for some idiot to collide with you boat. I think I would have stayed out on anchor or on a mooring ball and come to town with the dinghy. Another thing I found different from the US was not talking on the radio to announce your intentions or to ask other boaters why are they not keeping safe distance. I wander why is that... Great video. While I am waiting on my Elba 45, I am learning lots of good seamanship from your videos Mr Igor. Thank you!

[@AngeloXification]

The rules of the "road" when it comes to boats seems purely logical based on course trajectories. Maybe it's a good thing we don't have flying cars yet 😅

[@pvdneste]

with the 3-5 times depth rule you should include the distance form water to the attachment points of the anchor bridle for the depth. so: 2 meters of water would give 6 - 10meters of chain (theoreticaly) but with an attachment point of the bridle say 1m above water you will need 3x(2+1) = 9m --- 5x(2+1)=15m of chain out.

[@IgorStropnik]

It is about chain laying on ground near anchor which depends from wind strength. Also how well anchor is holding. With bad hold put much more chain as friction on ground will help. Practice and observe anchor with mask.
