Another great video Igor. I enjoy them all. Great to hear you appreciate the boats overall. They're really all beautiful. Appreciate your fine critique too. Useful for buyers/charterers. And Croatia... perfect👌

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏

[@viralml]

"Party going on... it's 8 in the morning" that cracked me up!! Gracias Igor!

[@IgorStropnik]

😂😀

[@cestmoi1262]

If (and that is a big IF) I were lucky to cruise the Adriatic for a couple of weeks I would want you to be the captain and guide. What a winning combination!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks!

[@helenacohen11]

We are planing to come from New York and do sailing ⛵️ on catamaran this August. Great knowledge of all islands! I wish you would be our captain! 👍

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏 Maybe we meet. I am there in summer.

[@helenacohen11]

Sounds good! We are in negotiations with company Helm regarding sailing on lagoon 46 in August. Was wondering if you are available in August? Also, have to say, you look like U really love to do what you do! Which is great 👍

[@IgorStropnik]

@@helenacohen11 I work on Lagoon 46 all summer from Trogir. You can rent our boat and I am skipper. Send me email [e-mail]

[@grakov]

Odlično. Sam ne preveč povedat, da ne bo povsod gužva :D Če bo rabu pa kako pomoč za kako daljšo furo se pa javim. Sicer sem še bolj zelen ampak nočne bom pa že zmogu :D

[@IgorStropnik]

Hvala! Na sreco je veliko lepih zalivckov za vse.

[@112jov]

Your video quality's superb! 👌

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks 🙏🍻👍

[@switchmuso]

25:18 What an interesting boat! Looks almost military in design, emanates!!... Somebody do a walkthrough...

[@switchmuso]

It's got wipers on the windows...

[@switchmuso]

32:35 what a ship! You should sail this around the world!

[@IgorStropnik]

I agree 👍Dream boat

[@rogerblackwood8815]

Hi Igor, really enjoy all the videos i've watched so far. Food seems to be in your videos as much as sailing, the master chef on the Amsterdam, Barcelona video seemed to look after you very well👍 I bet you are very well known in those waters, you even had your name on the table for you, that was very cool🍷🍷

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks Roger! Master chef was amazing and also food in Croatia. Thats why Trx and elastic bands sail with me...😃

[@switchmuso]

All your videos should have a million views... I'm amazed more people haven't realised that this is THE NEXT BEST THING to actually experiencing it onboard.

[@kiterjamon]

Hi Igor, beautiful videos. Croatia looks great through your lens. What if you had to choose between Lagoon 46 and Saona 47 FP? Greetings from Romania .

[@kiterjamon]

In 2005, I visited Korcula- Orebic and saw kitesurfing for the first time ... with my own eyes. It changed my life 😀.... for the better . So thank you Croatia .

[@IgorStropnik]

Not much difference. I would go for more racing boat with more sails and more speed.

[@IgorStropnik]

And Bol on island Brac for Kiteing😀

[@thierrymenudier9379]

Hi Igor, i am interested in buying a Catamaran between 42 and 48 to sail in Caribean. i am looking fort comfort more than performance.Acording to you which ones i should buy?

[@IgorStropnik]

Lagoon 42 or 46 and FP Saona 47.

[@petern7380]

What's the food cost?

[@IgorStropnik]

30-50eur / person

Thanks🙂

[@robaust3049]

A fantastic commentary on both the lovely scenery and local knowledge of Croatia. Also, honest and practical feedback on the Lagoon compared to other Catamaran models. This is a great channel.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks Rob!

[@kevinbirch8607]

Great video as normal. Always good to have honest opinions on the boats and locations visited. Lagoon have started to get a reputation on the build quality of their boats. The 450's are suffering terribly from cracked bulkheads.

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks Kevin! I hope all charter cats get better in future.

[@travelandvino2738]

What are your thoughts about the bulkhead issues reported by lots of 450 owners?

[@IgorStropnik]

I had no problems yet so have to find a boat with problems to look at it.

[@pavelsedlacek153]

Nice video👍 Actually.... It was my boat(sun odyssey51 quint II) with 10 woman True is, I have there 11 Dancing in the morning... All by myself with my 9 year old son... And with lot of sailing.. Great weak with a great women's on the board..

[@IgorStropnik]

😀 Lucky you! Your son has good dinghy driving skils!

[@stefflmrk]

Beautiful ..... and the more rural you go, the BETTER it is (in my mind) . . . or as Igor would call it . . . just P A R A D I S E ☺️😉👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻 and how right you are! IF just more young guys like you (with your mindset, had to correct this . . . otherwise it sounds a bit strange🏳️‍🌈) would still exist. 🥴😇🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷😎🔥

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks! Yes Croatia has many nice places that most tourists never hear about.

[@melcrose]

This video actually made my wife want to come to Croatia for vacation. THANK YOU.

[@IgorStropnik]

😀 Thanks Jeff!

[@gabec77geo]

We spend some time in Croatia almost every year, I agree it is a great place to sail for leasure and spend time without any worries. I never sailed a cat yet. Though the 46 looks much bigger than we need :D (depending on the need for comfort and size of the budget)

[@IgorStropnik]

Croatia is the best!

[@Magaman88]

Great vid as always. Seeing as you sail Lagoons quite often I wanted to know your take on the latest issue being discovered by owners relating to cracked bulkheads. It was originally found by Sailing Parlay on KZbin and has been going viral (to a degree).

[@IgorStropnik]

I heard but need to look at it live first.

[@nevenmarovich3173]

Great travel youtube and this time Kornati islands and nearby wonderful places. Great itinerary .. Well done Igor !!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks Neven!

[@cestmoi1262]

Will you have a vlog on "restaurants that I did not stop at", LOL. Bet it would only be a few minutes long.

[@IgorStropnik]

😀

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Igor, I would love it if you taught me how to sail during your summer on a beautiful Croatian 🇭🇷 island!

[@IgorStropnik]

Thats what I will do. Croatia is the best!

[@mahuyapurkait1561]

What is the length of the largest sailing catamaran that you can sail alone all by yourself and with no help??

[@IgorStropnik]

Probably any size. It depends more from rig and how equipment is arranged. You can sail Lagoon 77 solo but dificult morings would be hard.

[@mahuyapurkait1561]

Igor, nice video man. Keep it up. Which one is better Leopard 45 or Lagoon 55 ??

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks! Havent sailed on this two yet.

[@johanmarais9950]

Excellent - please inform us about scuba diving in Croatian islands

[@IgorStropnik]

Very good diving for boats and airplanes but all very deep...30m+

[@slomaj]

Great video again👍Just tell me something please..we are going to sail in Med next year..some people say it’s expensive-anchoring(not talking about marinas🙃)..is that true?That everywhere you stop,you’ll pay fees..that’s why people are avoiding Croatia and her islands.We’ll I’m Slovenian and I love islands there.Regards from Vienna(need to get a SA visa here)

[@IgorStropnik]

Thanks Maja! In Croatia some bays are under concesion so you pay fee but you can easy find free bay. But it is anoying when sombody shows up and wants money for nothing....just pick up anchor and go...I have local experience so easy for me but for new cruisers it can be tricky to figure it out.

[@slomaj]

@@IgorStropnik thank you Igor..so hard to know what is true and what not,that's why I asked you.Enjoy your journey..amazing places..

[@IgorStropnik]

@@slomaj Thanks!

[@stephenwhite3190]

Hi Igor, Good to be reminded just how lovely Croatia is. It is 12 years since we were last there in 'Rassy Lady'. The Lagoon 46 is not a boat that we would want to own, but great for a charter holiday with our family. Maybe when Covid is finally under control we can charter with you. All best wishes, Steve & Maggie.

[@IgorStropnik]

We met in Rab? I was on Laser sailing. Nice memories and nice to hear from you! You are very welcome to Croatia!

[@stu2355]

I have just seen your looking to get a Lagoon 42, am very envious, but i would ask if you are aware of issues the lagoon 450's are having with cracked bulkheads you should check out Sailing Parlay revival kzbin.info/door/YrqanbSklKodK2Onpt6KgA , also anoter good channel for sailing on a Cat is Let's Dance Sailing

[@twolittleducks2198]

@@stu2355 Hi Stuart, thank you for your reply, there isn’t a sailing channel we don’t watch 😳😳 and we have been following Colin on Parlay revival since he bought the boat, very upsetting and worrying, we have spoken with our broker who has reassured us building techniques have changed over the years !!! We have agreed a factory visit this year and one next year to see our boat in build 👍👍 so lots to look out for and inspect.
