I love this channel... Igor explains all practical/daily use/sailing advantages and disadvantages of all the boats he sails with.. Simply no nonsense content; excellent and happy new year to everyone !!!
Thanks Muhammed 🍻🙌🎄☃️
I’ve been in love with these boats for some time now. Its my wife and mine dream home! It’s so well designed and put together.
Best Neel 51 walk around I’ve seen. Thanks for the detailed tour!
Thanks Xavier 🍻
I love the "real" load out! So many of sailboat videos show luxurious boats, but this video shows a "luxurious " properly loaded up for a passage!
Thanks 🍻
First video watching this guy. It's clear. He's super knowledgeable, intelligent, and incredibly thoughtful. Fastest hour watching just a walkthrough and I wanted to see more of them underway. I can't tell you how many times I found myself nodding in agreement. Just one request (which I have no right to, just asking), please don't swear. I watched this with my 4yr old son because he's interested, too. Regardless, absolutely awesome video. Subbed and will be combing through ALL of your content. Thanks so much for making this video, Igor. I can smell the sailboats from my youth.
Thanks 🙏
So pleased to see another of your videos pop up Igor, always so varied and informative! Have a great sail and looking forward to following your latest journey.
Thanks 🙏🙌🎄☃️🍻
Just made my Christmas Day as this video popped up. Merry Christmas Igor, stay safe 👍
Merry Christmas Alex 🎄☃️
Excellent tour which really changed my mind about tri's
Thanks Ron 🙌🎄☃️🍻
I like your attitude of sailing for the fun of it rather than "gotta get across the finish line first". I think the viewers will enjoy it more also.
Thanks 🍻🎄☃️🙌
fantastic boat... would have over any cat... great walk round... love the engine room, proper space to keep all your tools and even have a workshop
🙌🍻👍
Yay! I love these journeys you take us on- and the food 🎉🤌
Thanks Jojo 🍻🎄☃️🍾
Nice boat! I hope you have an amazing crossing! Looking forward to more videos! :)
Thanks 🍻
Excellent job. Like other people commented, I like the no non-sense of your review. It really helps us in our hunt for a multihull. Thanks alot.
Thanks Andre 🙌
You can always catch fresh fish for food, too, I should think. It would be nice to have a water maker and black water treatment tank. Those would be the 2 things I'd find necessary. And fishing rods and lures or bait. It would be boring if you couldn't fish along the way. 🙃
We wanted, had everything except rod...🙄
47:27 Wow, that's hard core!! All those kids about to cross the ocean on Optimist skiffs!!
Great job comparing and contrasting as well as your thoughts for changes.
Thanks Mike🙏
Excellent video. Love your commentary immensely...you are quite proficient at explaining even the smallest details. Really looking forward to your travels. Be safe.
Thanks 🙏👍🙌
I own a plug-in hybrid car and I love the flexibility of using what I have more of: gas or battery. It would be interesting to have an electric screw on each of the outer hulls for trimming and may be power when your sailing against a strong current.
Cant wait to see it sailing it looks awesome !
It’s like spaceship 🚀
Great video👍🏻 I‘m looking forward to the next video!
Thanks 🍻 Next coming soon 😊
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for taking your time!
👍🍻
Another great boat tour, no bull sh.t just Igor. Looking forward to the crossing. Happy New Year to everyone !
What an epic, I'm excited, lets go
👍🍻
This boat is amazing
🍻👍
prosim! absolutely amazing this trimaran!
👍🍻
In general it looks like a great design. I would however, be inclined to trade the central engine and rudder for an engine and a rudder in each of the armas. I know it would slightly increase complexity but it would allow for better manoeuvring and give you a lot of redundancy. Additionally you could use two smaller engines which would make parts cheaper and easier to source.
Really like your pointing out the good, bad and the ugly of a boat.
Thanks Carl 👍🍻
You've convinced me I need this ship.
🙌🍻👍
hey I m watching all your videos in LOOP !!!
🙏🙌🍻👍
Merry Christmas.
That is a pretty cool boat. It looks like a floating loft. Really cool.
Agree totally 💯
This guy is great!
Welcome back Igor! Go Szlovénia!
🙌🍻🎄☃️
Great sailing!
Merry Christmas Igor! As usual, another great Boat review. If I ever do a charter I know which captain I'd like to have on board teaching me the ropes :) The Salon cabin is beautiful on this boat and the Salon itself looks huge with a great kitchen area and beautiful design. Thank you for the Christmas video, made my day!
Thanks Napo🍻Happy new year ☃️🍾
Best sailing channel
Thanks 🍻
@@IgorStropnik seriously, I’m just a couch sailor, but you detail so much that so many overlook. You really should be teaching or consulting on boat purchases. Thanks again.
@@Ok-551 👍🙏🙌 Working with designers would be cool.
Really digging your videos and reviews, Igor. Keep it up. There's a real gap on CZcams of reviews of yachts from people who have real experience actually sailing them for long distances. You learn so much more than that standard boat show reviews out there. Question: If you were to sail shorthanded (two people) on a production catamaran around the world (cruising, not racing), what would be your top three choices?
Thanks Russell 🍻 I have to test few more first like Ovni, Garcia and Outremer.
I'm waiting for Igor to get the oportunity to review a Garcia Explocat 52!
That would be so cool 😎👍
@@IgorStropnik I’ve only seen short, 3-5 minute clips on it, and not any day to day, deep reviews as of yet
This guy knows boats, that’s it, and he’s a great educator, the videos are long enough to include plenty of little details that are very helpful. Re this boat, engine room is a plus, I would loose the upper deck bedroom, and the forward cabin and bath I’m not feeling that design , overall it has some great design ideas but I would pass on it
🙏🙌🍻👍
Legendary. I see that you are aiming to the podium 💪💪if you raced it 😁😁
😀🍻 If we started when there was start 😳
Well done.
Thanks 🙏
Perfect quote... "Don't do stupid things and you will be fine."
👍🙌🍻
Just enjoy your videos so much. For someone like me who is planning to get a boat, it is great to hear you honest opinion about the different features to a boat. I am 1,98 m of height....if possible...would you also mention the headroom in the different boats as this also is of vital importance to the spacious feeling and use of the boats 🙂
Thanks Jakob 🍻🎄☃️I am 1,90m and find many boats too small. You are probably going to crash your head everywhere just like me. Big cats like over 50ft are better.
@@IgorStropnik Thank you Igor. That is precious feedback 🙂👍
Great video. About engine room:Multihulls and especially trimarans have to be light to sail well. That implies a lot of void spaces inside, wich can not be used not because of space, but because reducing mass.
Agree totally. All cruising multis are still to heavy as most sailors want a lot of comfort but that’s just fine If you are live a board and not racing.
those 2 back space looks good to place even more batteries... to get an obscene amount of stored energy...
And sink the boat
I was just thinking when Igor will do another long boat trip and up he pops, when will ep 2 be coming?
This was Christmas 🎁 and next one is new year’s 🎁
I love this boat. I just wish it was made in aluminium by Garcia. That'd be a boat I'd trust.
I am also fan of aluminium although never tried any alu boat. Want to sail alu Garcia cat.
@@IgorStropnik Yeah, the Explocat 52 looks a real machine!
Always enjoy your straight forward and practical reviews! The Neel 51 is a very interesting boat but I wonder how many lifts can accommodate that beam out here in the cruising world. The larger cats are already having a tough time finding lifts and this is even wider.
Thanks 🙏🍻
excelente video
Thanks 🙏
If I had the money that’s the boat I want.
You are quite amazing Igor, from sailing a Laser II 2000 km to helming big cats or tri's. Really like your channel, nice job. You guys eat well! By the way, the engine room on the Neel is outstanding, in a class of its own.
Thanks Rick!
Merry Igor...
Any cookery on this journey?
Love your videos.
Especially Croatia.
Merry Christmas John 🎄❄️ Only little cooking 🍳
Fantastic video and awesome quality, with great insight and advice. Out of interest what camera are you using?
Thanks Jamie! Dji pocket 2.
The blue monohull behind them is a gorgeous old Swan yawl.
I have hull # 35. If you liked this version wait for #35. You are invited to join for the Atlantic crossing.
Any upgrades on 35?
@@IgorStropnik many!
carsko ,živis sanjsko, lep pozdrav iz gorenjske :)
Sosedova trava je bolj zelena 😀 Lepe praznike 🍻
@@IgorStropnik lahko da je res bolj zelena jaz sm barvno slep samo črnobelo vidm tako da mu ne zamerm :) lepe prazike z vetrom v jadra
Is it a brand new boat ? Be interesting to hear your views on fit and finish/ build quality. Other reviewers have scored them very low in the past .
New boat. 4 more episodes coming 😊
As far as i can see and about what i heard from other reviews, there are so many sharp corners all around the furniture, it gives me chicken skin. Also the one on the top left, close the the helm's stairs. Also about the general quality of the furniture. Well. Ok. You can't expect the highest quality on a boat of that size for 700k and is not comparable to custom build multihulls. You always have to make compomises depending on how much budget you have.
Lots of storage, well that is a two edged sword. To go fast you can't use the storage, if you use the storage you slow the boat with little performance.
Agree totally 👍🍻🎄☃️
I only saw 3 cabins. Next to saloon, right Arma, and main hull.
There is one forward in main hull
Amazing videos mate, merry Christmas to ya 👊🎅🍀
Thanks Michael🍻 Happy new year 🍾🎄☃️
😊
Igor, just curious. Did you ever read " sailing alone around the world" by Joshua Slocum? Reading it for the second time. It is as entertaining as watching your videos.
One of my favourite books 👍
I like alot.
🙌🍻
I hope you get a chance to review the new Neel 52
That would be great 👍 😀
Correct Title: Neel 51 tour and review!!
👍🙌🍻
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great video. What 44 ft catamaran would you buy? Would you buy new or maybe up to 3 years old?
Haven’t found the one yet. Want to try alu cats from ovni and Garcia.
First video,killer boat. Am I picking up a Brazillain accent?
Slovenian accent
@@IgorStropnik that’s nuts, you sound so much like my Brazilian Surfing buddy. Excited to start following your journey!
thought about building a trimaran
The engine room is water tight apart from all the holes into the deck for the steering 😂
He actually said it was sealed ( english is not his first language) and he also later pointed out the openings himself as well as clarifying the point he was making about it being closed in (sealed) ie not out in the open when you have to work on the engine. You are being picky for the sake of what?
So basically you are going the "chicken route" not Bremerhaven to NYC in December. Had windforce 12 mostly all the way and required an extra day for arrival.
I love chicken 🍗
Igor if you would pick a boat to sail single handed around the world what boats would you choose? and why? and thankyou for the superb insight of what's good and bad about a boat. Srecno nova leto
Not easy question and probably easier to answer it talking in bar while drinking rum. There is a lot of boats that i would like to test before choosing the best one. But many boats can take you around the world so I think that the journey is more important.
@@IgorStropnik Yes sir it was a hard question to answer and sorry for that but as a land lover wanting to sail and live aboard to explore the seas we have to draw knowledge from people like you. You explain the good and bad so well. oh jack daniel's or cognac for me.
Can you do a commentary on the Sabo 50 please???
If get a chance i will.
Waw, ni da ni kar ne obvladaš. Net je velik, a kar se jadranja tiče ti je le malo kdo čez nožne prste. Od A do Ž, od malih (mikro) do velikih, od strašnih budžetov do "one dollar day". Globok poklon Igor....
Hvala Miro 🍻 Vesele praznike in novo leto 🎄☃️❄️
Awesome video. How does the autopilot work? can it use radar / sonar to steer the boat?
🙌👍🙏 Autopilot is perfect. No steering with radars.
Igor, if you had all resources for an all around the world sailing tour, In a 15/22 mt. cat, or tri, what boat would you choose?
Probably ALU expedition cat or mono.
I like your boat a lot so that I wanna get the same ….
👍🙌🍻
cool design ,you get what you pay for :-)
🙌🍻
Hi Igor, I have really enjoyed your videos. I was wondering if you could do a review of the Bali 4.8. One thing that I would love is to hear your comparison of the Bali 4.8, Lagoon 50 and FP 50 from the perspective of
1. light air performance ( which can I sail more..not faster),
2. blue water reliability
3. and, finally, live-aboard comfort, from the perspective of a husband trying to sell his city-living beloved on a circumnavigation adventure.
I can’t seem to find polars on any of these, so any help you could provide. Keep up the great content!
Dave.
Thanks Dave 🍻 I will probably sail FP51 next year but no plans for Bali yet.
If money was no object, what trimaran would you recommend please?
Custom made aluminium.
I have to commend you on your camera stability. up to 9:06 anyway
Thanks 🙌👍 Gimbal camera Dji pocket2.
Igor, vse bi nareeu, da bi bil v tvojmu crew :)
🙌🍻
Is it true Neel 51v upwind makes good from the parameters given in the hard time?
Only sailed downwind :(
Igor, I love your videos, you compliment and criticize as you see it...but does the Lagoon company still love you?..lol...cheers🍷🇨🇦
Thanks Wally! Not sure if they ever did...
OK, we get it, you hate lagoon catamarans. WE GOT IT! :P
Lagoons are one of the best charter catamarans.
I didn't see a forward looking window in the main cabin? Is it optional.....?
Not on 51.
@@IgorStropnik Great video , You must be proud of Slovenia and the great boats and aircraft they build there ... its a little power house when it come to tech and manufacturing...
@@rickstevens1479 Thanks! Slovenia is the best for nature and outdoor sports. And as you said Elan, Pipistrel,…
All I can hear is you know 😂😂😂 100 and still counting you know 😂
$800,000+ I'm Jealous, Igor...!
I am just a driver…
You tout the advantages of Neel trimarans over Lagoon yet you're sailing a Lagoon in your recent series of videos. Change of heart?
I just sail what i get. Don’t own it.
@@IgorStropnik I know, was just curious. Thanks
nah, I'll take a Saewind over this any day of the week
how much of this baot
a million dollars give or take
Yeah a little bit of poison ☠ wouldn't hurt while cruising on a trimaran. Lol
I hope the chain doesnt go, tzac tzac tzac.
Bridal from amas would be nice.
Igor, where were all the cushions for this trip??
Inside
Always your face seen in your blg
I really don’t see why a trimaran over a catamaran. Why keep comparing to a Lagoon? The Leopard 50 is better than this boat or Lagoon who have had bulkhead problems on their boats. Also why don’t we see it sailing?
It’s sailing across Atlantic in next episodes.
How much for this boat?
1 milion
@@IgorStropnik where can I buy?
@@NetMillionaire In France
What’s the price
1mil
@@IgorStropnik that’s cheap not really but it’s cheaper than 5mil
Canadian flag?:-)
Yes 👍
No Flush Hatches WTF? I swear man, I have yet to see a multi-hull with interior build quality of a semi-custom monohull. Always so angular, so much fiberglass, and lacking in quality woodwork. Why is that, it's so disappointing.
Nice interior makes boat more expensive and heavier. It’s about finding good balance between what you can sell boat for and aesthetic, weight and quality.
@@IgorStropnik These boat makers are not experts at finishing, and much of it you can easily change. The sailing ability is what you are buying in a million dollar performance boat, not the furniture. This Neel is a production cat made on a production line. Maybe the question you can also ask is why is the monohull half the speed of this boat. Boats are a compromise, you have to choose what you want to compromise. Look for a semi custom multihull maker like Exquisite or Sunreef and they will have nicer finishes but they will not sail so fast. Flush hatches should be expected but even here many now have fans on the top to move air and you can still hit your feet.
Ара - это про попугая или про армянина?
Don’t know 🤷♂️
listen man, i respect you, but when you are in a public space, and people walk infront of you, they are doing nothing wrong, and you need to be more understandin and dont use ironi for them. you are in e public space and people can walk where they want. wish you a save travel and calm wind.
