Lagoon 46 Catamaran, Sailing 2600nm, Ep4 

Thanks Paul 🍻

Flybridge is amazing. No experience with bali.

Ok 👍 What is your email?

For reefing main you need to go upwind a lot to have no power in sail. Thanks 🙏

Thanks 🙏 Agree with you 🙌🍻

@@IgorStropnik Regarding the quality of L46 mast and rigging: we were once sailing with good speed in the fresh wind. Several of us were on the flybridge, suddenly one of the guys tells me that something fell off the mast, bounced of the saloon roof and fell out of sight. I did not see it, but went to check the deck and luckily found a big nut. I thought it fell off the top of the mast, but it was the nut of the big bolt that attaches the boom to the mast! Luckily the bolt was still there and I was able to put the nut back and tighten it with a wrench, still while sailing at full speed. We were really lucky, if we did not notice the nut falling off, then the boom could disconnect from the mast! Lucky twice, because the nut could have gone to the sea. Should not really happen, can't imagine that in 2022 there is no solution to prevent nuts just falling off like this. If they don't know any better solution, just put 2 nuts! :) And about full-batten main vs in-mast furling: I keep hearing how many problems there are with in-mast furling, that the sail can get stuck and it is then impossible to take it down, etc, but full-batten main resting on the boom is not entirely problem free either. Just last year I had a situation where we could not drop the main because as we started dropping it, the main halyard has wrapped itself around the metal fixture that attaches shrouds to the top of the mast. After that there was no way to lower the main. Luckily there was little wind, we could anchor with the sail still up and then sort things out. We almost ended up going up the mast, but then managed to free the main halyard (after about an hour of trying different solutions). I also had numerous situations where main halyard would wrap around something high on the mast while the sail was down, all on L450/L46. Even if one tries to keep main halyard tight all the time, there are still moments where there is slack in it and a couple of seconds is enough for this situation to happen. I still prefer full-batten mains because of better shape, but both systems are not without problems.

@@awanderer9000 Agree 👍 Quality is worse and worse 😞

Few videos on my channel about Croatia. May to October.

@@IgorStropnik sorry I was not clear, I mean which tour/islands you suggest for 1 week charter (maybe 2 weeks) in Croatia

@@claudiof.barbano5530 the ones I do in my Croatia videos.

Cruising cats should have furling mains. They don’t because full batten looks better and easy to sell. Nautitech 46 fly has option of furling…this is the future

Thanks 👍🍻

Thanks 🍻

Or just design it better in first place

Haven’t try yet.

👍🍻

It is now. That was delivery of new boat.

Will try. Thanks 🍻👍
