Lagoon 46 Catamaran, Sailing 2600nm, Ep2 

Responsibility is always with the company who sells the finished product/system , not the one that delivers components. The blame is definitely on Lagoon for buying lousy components to save money. Their quality assurance system seems to need a lot of improvement. I am sure that on a Selden rigg these kind of problems wouldn’t occur.

Igor, thank you so much for putting these videos out. We learn so much from every video, both from you and your knowledgeable crew. Please don’t stop being you and putting out these quality videos. Your feedback on all these items on these boats will force builders and vendors to be better in future!! Can’t wait for the next update on this passage and wishing you guys safe travels!!!

Love Igor’s honesty! …the good and the bad… My favorite sailing channel, I’ve learned so much from him he really covers all aspects of #sailinglife and he’s one hell of a #funnyguy ! Kudos 👌🏼

Thanks Igor, for being honest about the boat. Hopefully I would love to crew with a good Captain like you one day. Once more happy sailing.

Thank you Igor, that was the best lesson to help me select a yacht 🇦🇺

Thanks for sharing the experience!

Another great video Igor. Your no nonsence reviews are great watching. Thanks.

As usual, informative and interesting. Special thanks for the attention to detail. Good luck to you

Thank you Igor, really love your videos with real and handson sailing tric, tips and so on!! Fantastic how you share your knowledge!

The submarine symbols mean that it is a submarine exercise area. That is where they practice and do drills.

Thanks fellas, I loved it.

Honest and true, thanks my friend🤟

Great videos very informative and honest.

Loved your theory mate👍👏⚓️

Bravo!

I can see that you Igor are enjoying this trip. Across the Atlantic on the trimaran, you looked as beeing starved to death. Love your great neutral reviews.

Very nice and interesting video.👍👍👍Have a great day and new week. 😉 Greetings. 😎

Oil sticks. For cars engines down to the first hole from max or full line=1 quart low, 2nd hole=2 quarts low....

Great video series Igor, thanks! What kind of watch schedule were you doing on this trip?

Thank you Igor, really love to hear your opinion. As you say so easy to fix, but do they take notice.

Igor, you are a funny guy, I’d love to do a trip with you! Maybe your crew will talk more when they get used to being a RU-vid stars!

you might want to look into the stainless steel zip ties for the eyes on the shackles. The are stronger and UV resistant. I don't know if they are available in Europe but I think you might like them.

You use skate border helmet when cutting off rope from prop to protect head may be from nz

if you don't have loctite can use teflon extra thin film , the one for plumbing or hydraulic sealing

You’re a kick ass guy! Thanks for all of your videos brother. My goal was to retire to a Lagoon 450 a few years ago, but now I’m rethinking a Lagoon… That sucks because I really like the look and amenities since it’s going to be my house. Question; have you guys dealt with pirates and/or do you wait on that military convoy that goes through?

Are the rigging hardware common to lagoons or do all of the new boats tend to have these types of issues? Loved the humor in this one video.

American pancakes are like English Pikelets ,,, smaller fatter pancakes you put butter and jam on

Igor great videos I’m choosing between lagoon 46 and FP 47 what one would you choose both are owners version

i will do the delivery in few weeks too and im starting to feel anxious ab this issues. delivery is across atlantic. did they do the sea trail? hope you see this comment, can you shortly write the list of the things that tend to break with lagoon boats, thank you

Do the problems concerning the ropes happen on lagoon 42? Getting one in a couple months time. If the problems are there, what solutions do you reccomend?

Is it possible that hemp, coir and even sisal are better and more resistant than man made fibres? Room for research Fellows! I love this stuff!

I see an important part of boat life is having enough crew hehe

Hey Igor. So what is your conclusion on the how well the Neel Trimaran sailed? Did it sail well in light air or did it need more than 10kts of wind to sail?

Is it possible to sail to extreme places like the Antarctica, Falkland Islands and South Georgia Islands and cross the Drake's passage on a regular cruising fiberglass sailing vessel which has got adequate heating onboard ( like for example the leopard 50, lagoon 52S or the Bali 5.4 or other Lagoon and Fountaine-Pajot catamarans) ?

Any critical control systems on an aircraft will have their fasteners lock wired or a split pin (Stainless steel must be used for longevity)! Thread lock is not a reliable solution long term! So the pulley bolts should have split pins or lock wire I think, as for Gaffa tape, it will do for the next 24hrs but don't rely on it please! I've worked on planes 50 years old and the split pins have never failed, Ailerons, flaps, throttle linkages etc, all were perfectly serviceable after many years service. Do you have detailed maintenance logs with times, hours etc and periodical inspections carried out and signed off on these boats? The engines having a 50 hr service is in line with aviation requirements too interestingly? 50 hrs is the service interval for basic maintenance, then the 100 hr is a bit more involved, and then the annual is close to a full strip and inspect/replace etc! I will send you an email soon as it would be an experience to get a chance to crew on one these trips, I am sure I would never forget a winter passage across the Bay of Biscay! You were really lucky with weather on this one! Hopefully one day the laws of probability will put it together👍 One trivia point, the Sagres cape is named after the beer Sagres, or is it the other way round😁😁 There's two main beers in Portugal, Sagres and Super Bock, my partner has family there and we have been told Super Bock is the Portuguese version of Fosters, Sagres is more your Stella Artois? Whichever it is, it's a good excuse to sample the stuff and then comment from a position of knowledge! I really liked the interaction you had going with Terry, he seems like the type of sailor I would enjoy spending a few hours and whiskey's with! Only complaint I have is "Famous Grouse" who drinks bottom shelf whiskey and advertises it? I mean for a few pounds more you could have at least got a Talisker or Laphroaig? Or am I a bit of a whisky snob? Love the videos and safe passage for the rest of the trip👍👍

Could you please enable subtitles in Polish on your RU-vid channel ?? Thanks

keeping the engine batteries in the engine compartment? horrible design .

Why Luxury yacht like this uses Japanese engine? Why does it not use Volvo engine?

In other words a shitty boat :)

Igor, chill a bit on the smart ass stuff it’s to much.
