I think I saw some where that you might be ready to let your 48 go around December? You should let me know, we should be ready and in FL.

Hi SWS, Yes we will have it back in Florida around December and will be ready to sell her. Keep in touch! Randy

HI Rich, Our biggest fan!!!!Thanks so much for your comment. The hard work has paid off and you have seen it first hand so you are biased!!! Thanks for your support as always. Hmmm, Lennie and Randy at work. Would that be interesting? Randy

We just toasted with a bottle of Whispering Angel to you guys :) Forgot to take a picture and video, but we'll do that some other time!

Send a pic!!! Randy

Hi Brent and Ana! I have talked to them as well. They reached out to me about some options and a problem they had. Small world. Love your videos and the one you did on the new 50 Lagoon is the one that inspired us to make this video. It is very popular in a short time like yours and Its nice to know we are showing people good info. Your travels are our inspiration and I would like to call you to discuss some heavy weather sailing tips that you excel at. my email is randy@svhappytogether.com can you send me a contact number. Great to hear from you guys! Randy & Lennie

Hello Rod and thanks for your comment. You need the larger motors. The boat weighs 10,000 LBS more than the 48 and the 48 was adequately powered with the 57's. Whenever a manufacturer offers a power upgrade it is because they know you need it but offer the lower power for cost savings. The salesman has probably never powered a 50 with 57 hp motors and I wonder if they have even built one? You need the HP to handle a 4 bladed prop to get into oncoming wind and waves with enough power. This boat has a lot of windage. These are my thoughts and we have cruised now for 3 weeks on the boat and feel the 80 hp is correctly sized. Good luck! Randy

HI Richard, For sure! We will be in florida most of 2019 outfitting the new boat and shaking it down! Randy

Hi Bill, Never heard of this I will check it out. Randy

Hi Morgan! Thanks so much for your comment. I am glad you agree with our decision and we look forward to sharing many more videos of the outfitting of the 50! Randy

Hi Roger, Thanks! Randy

Out of curiosity - why are you using 'Just Catamarans' Florida for your after market stuff vs. 'Leopard Catamaran' out of Cape Town? You might prefer to e-mail at rogerajaquin53@gmail.com

Hi Geoff, Dont reming me. I still think boating is a good value!!!! Randy

Oops! You have Lennie.. No other crew required! Big hugs for Lennie and fist bump for you Randy!

Hi Chip, Back at you and thanks from both of us!!! Randy

Hi Aspergo, How goes the sailing? Randy

The sailing is thebomb.com To all those who follow this channel, I would like to encourage you. 8 months ago I had ZERO sailing experience. Then encouraged by Randy and Lennie's channel, I went down to my local marina and started sailing. In March I had done 300nm on board a 38' Fast Lyons as deck-hand. I then did an internationally recognised Day Skipper course, which I completed together with a VHF Radio License in April. Next week we (my family of 4) leave for Split, Croatia on our very first bare-boat charter. We will be sailing on a Dufour GL 460. Thanks to SV Happy Together !!! Guys, if you're following this channel, and dreaming of sailing, dont wait. Get out there and JUST DO IT. You don't have to start sailing on a $million catamaran. You can start out small, like I did. To date I have over 500nm, and after Croatia it will be a bit more.... Fair Winds and following seas.

Hi Daredevil, Thanks so much and I appreciate you have been on our channel a long time! Thanks for watching! Randy

Hi SBS, Thanks! Randy

Hi Glen, if you pay for your cabin it’s yours!!!!!! LoL. Thanks for watching. Randy

Hi Lindo, Thanks for watching and hello to Netherlands! Randy

HI Red Bear!!! Thanks! Randy

Hi Doug, Thanks so much! I am glad you are enjoying the channel! Randy

Hi Martial, Thanks! Randy

Hi Quintin, Awesome! Randy

Live in the same city and have had the privilege of visiting Robertson & Caine on numerous occasions. Always an impressive factory!

John Green, John Green, please could you drop me a mail quintin@qgproperties.com if you ref. To the Cape Town branch I would so dearly would like to get in to see the production and do not know who to contact

HI Mr. Redeie23, Thanks. We hope to be able to sail her in Cape Town in the fall...Randy

Hi Jason and Suzanne, Thanks and we cant wait to see you in Annapolis! Randy

Hi DD, Thanks! Randy

Hi AJ, One of my favorite followers!!!! Thanks and I hope to see you around soon :-)

Hi Mark, Thanks so much! Randy

Hi Bestian, Thanks! Randy

Hi Lang, I was thinking you meant the boat but now I get it. The scene from our house right??? Thanks! Randy

Sailing SV Happy Together yes 🖒😊

we will receive our L45 mid sept but need to fit a ton of extras, so, we will be pushing off somewhere in first week of nov....perhaps we will see each other at the marina! :-)

Sailing Sisu what are you talking about !!!!!!!! You have a lepoard coming also... No wait.. I'm jealous. I have to settle for a used one. Which of course would make someone else jealous 🤔 We have to stop being jealous we're on a frikin sail boat doing what we love... more beer please🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Jim, that got a good chuckle out of me! you are so right! ok, i am not jealous anymore :-P

Leopard sure does make a beautiful boat, I'm hoping to join you in my dreams! ,,,,,,/),,,,,,

Hi Sailing Sisu.....It looked like you Robert and Jim worked this out😁 Randy

Hi Thomas, Thanks! Randy

Hi Greg, There was really no reason to upgrade. We did it because we enjoy the process and excitement of buying and outfitting. One day there will be a "last boat: for us but we don't know which one it will be. Annapolis for sure! Our outfitting video gave all the costs but you may have seen that by now. We lost a net of 200K over 4 years. Come to Annapolis! Randy

Hi Robert, Thanks! Randy

Hi Jake, I am number 21.....I am sure it will float at least:) Randy

Hi James, Thanks! Randy

Hi Cigarman, I am not sure. Lennie and I bought a Precision 21 with a 5 horse outboard in 1998 and had a blast! It was called Baby Kat and we paid $3500 for her and loved every minute of it! Randy

Hi Wakey! Thanks Randy

Hi Yacht Carpenter, Thanks and.....We sure do a lot of work to these new ones also....we could use your help!! 😁 Randy

Hi Gil, Hello to Espania!!! Randy

Hi The damn spot, Lennie's and my first sailboat was a precision 21 that we bought 20 years ago for 3500 bucks. We had a lot of fun. I have a picture of it coming up in a future video. Its all good! Randy

Hi Carmas, Thanks! Randy

as soon as I saw you post that video of the 50 months ago, i've been expecting this news hahahaha you and your family are going to enjoy. I have worked hairdos enjoy while you can... God Bless

Hi Joe! Me too!!! Randy

Hi Sean, Thanks and I know you do.....your mom is in Boca right? Randy

Sailing SV Happy Together that’s me!

Hi JC, Okay done. She is on hold for you! 😁 Randy

Hi Michael, I agree that the 45 is a perfect "big" boat for 2 people. Lennie and I considered it but then decided against going smaller. The 48 is a great boat for a big family but we are used to running it. It will be interesting to see how we like the 50 in terms of size. Its a monster! Randy

Hi Andrew, That is a great question. Its typically about 20% more than the boat cost with factory options. So in this case about 175,000 of options. A few to name....Solar 12K, Watermaker 25K And the list goes on.... Randy

Hi Rob! Thanks for watching. Randy

HI Alfredo, Of course! I will document it well! Randy

Hi Mark, Life is full of problems even with a few bucks. Trust me. Thanks for watching our videos. Glad you like the new boat. Randy

HI Tony, On the 48 we dont notice it at all. Maybe on the 50? Either way...THe forward cockpit is worth it as its the best part of the Leopards and why many people buy them. Thanks for watching. Randy

Sailing SV Happy Together I hope all goes well with your new boat the forward cockpit is an awesome part of the leopards I can fully understand you buying another they are quality boats , happy ventures and fair winds enjoy cheers Tony sv tartaruga

Please excuse my ignorance but why would the forward cockpit slow you down?

Hi Barry, Thanks! Randy

Hi Danie, Ha, Cute but.....this is actually our 15th happy together! Look forward to meeting. Send us an email in early november for updates on our travel dates. Randy

Hi Richard, December is closing in.....Randy

Richard Chasse 48 is one number. 4, 8. Is two numbers....just saying, haha.

Hi Kim, I think it will be there. I talked to the owners of the first 50 in AUS and they are putting it in the show! Randy

Hi Mr Sketch, Yes I will do a video of factory versus aftermarket also. I will show a detailed outfitting video as well. Keep in touch. You have my email if you have any questions. Randy

Hi Jim, We took the 4 cabin performance version. We are very excited! Randy

HI Phillipe, Leopard is usually 9-12 months out on delivery but currently they are oversold and they are 24 months out on the 50 if you order now. We do not have a bowthruster nor do we need it. Our 48 maneuvers perfectly without it. I will have to see how the 50 does before I consider it. Problem is its another piece of equipment to maintain and power so I prefer not to have it. I dont think it will be necessary. Thanks for watching! Randy

Hi Richard, Change is in our nature so when they offered the 50 with new styling and features we went for it. The 48 was really a perfect boat for us but when you see the stuff we did to the 50 like the utility room it helped us make the jump. Randy

Silly me. Should have read the comments first😅😅

Hi Eben, I know Sisu!!! Randy

Hi Dan, Yes that is him. Thanks for watching!! Randy

Hi Jctevere, Thanks for your comment! We think the 48 is a big boat and the 45 is better suited for 2 people but we learned how to handle it just fine. The 50 is an even bigger boat but we are ready for it and travel with guests a bunch so we are happy with it. We did not custom order the performance version as it was an option from leopard. It is a bit less money and weighs almost 1600 pounds less so it was a good decision for us. Keep in touch and let me know if you have any more questions. Randy

@@SailingSVHappyTogether Awesome - thanks for the information and your feedback - Happy Sailing!

Yes we are all Kent fans.....😁 Randy

Hi Moz, I am sure they have lots of Florida resources but we are happy to help if they need it! Randy

Hi YM, No it comes ready to sail and has many options but we are adding, Solar, Watermaker, Scuba compressor, lithium batteries, different chargers. Lighting and other features that add about 20% to the boats price. Randy

Hi Jords, It may be only 50 SF of space but more importantly the boom is much lower on the deck so you can access it which is necessary more often than not. Randy

Hi Misha, The option on the 50 is 4 or 5 cabin. They don't offer a three cabin version. Upon inspecting the boat we don't believe we are missing anything because on the 48 it was one big hallway with lots of storage. The 50 cabin is much wider and has a bigger head but less storage. We opted for the utility room in the port forward hull so we are only getting three sleeping cabins. The extra space we had in the master is now doubled in the utility room so for us it works the same with larger more comfortable cabins. Thanks for asking! Randy

Wow that was a fast reply , must have caught you online at the right moment . Can i ask when do you take it off Just / kent ?

Hi Misha, We receive the boat at the end of March and will start outfitting it with Just Catamarans. Randy

Good enjoy Sir ! look forward to your upcomming blogs very soon then mainly because Leopard are promo ing the upper deck version there s not much info on the non fly bridge model out on youtube. again thank for the prompt reply .

I forsee a few boozy nights ahead with Kent He He He .

Hi Rob, Funny! It will be for sale in nov-dec. Thanks for watching! Randy

Hi Russell, The forward cockpit serves two purposes. It is where we spend all our time at anchor because usually the bow is pointed to the best view and into the wind so its a great place for meals etc. But more importantly we leave that door open all the time and use it for access to the foredeck so you dont have to walk around and up the side of the boat. For anchoring and getting to the lines and fenders etc. We love it. Randy

Hi Frik, We will be there in late november. Stay in touch! Randy

Hi Mark, Well, see, its sorta, no its because....Yep your right. No reason just fun. We are on the 48 this week in mexico. I am cruising down the pacific coast towards Guatemala as I am answering these comments. We are still wondering why we are making the switch. We love this boat! Randy

Hi Sailing Bug, That sounds bad. We had the velcro headliners on our 48 but they never failed. The 50 is built much like your beautiful 45 so I will check out the connections when the boat arrives. I hope that is all you suffer through for now. Where do you do your sailing? Randy

Hi Roger, We are thinking November-December ish....Randy
