These are our opinions on how we believe warranty rectification costs should be split between the yacht broker and boat builder in a world where financial cost seems to outprioritise human impact. Some sections apply specifically to the situation surrounding our Leopard 45 Catamaran and experience with Leopard Catamarans, Robertson & Caine and Travelopia. This may also apply to other production boat builders such as Lagoon, Seawind, Bavaria, Beneteau and Fountaine Pajot.

In case you're unsure of the ownership of the companies mentioned, this is some information sourced from their respective websites.

Travelopia Ownership: "Our brands were originally brought together by TUI Group to become Travelopia, which was acquired by Kolhberg Kravis Roberts, a global private equity firm, in 2017, with the vision to create the world’s leading experiential travel company." - Travelopia Website | About

Robertson & Caine Ownership: "Robertson and Caine (Pty) Ltd is owned by Vox Ventures, a wholly owned subsidiary of PPF, a leading investment firm in Europe with its roots in the Czech Republic." - Robertson & Caine Website | Overview

Welcome to our latest video on sailboats with aft cabins and sugar scoops! In this video, we'll be taking a closer look at these two popular features and discussing their benefits for sailors.

First, let's talk about aft cabins. Located at the rear of the boat, these cabins offer privacy and comfort for the crew, away from the noise and activity of the main living area. Aft cabins are often equipped with a comfortable berth, storage space, and an en-suite bathroom for added convenience. We'll show you some great examples of sailboats with luxurious aft cabins, and discuss the advantages of this feature for longer trips and liveaboard situations.

Next up, we'll take a look at sugar scoops. This is a term used to describe the stern platform of a sailboat that extends past the transom, creating a larger deck space for relaxation and activities. Sugar scoops are great for sunbathing, swimming, fishing, and docking the dinghy. We'll show you how to make the most of your sugar scoop, and discuss the safety considerations you should be aware of when using this feature.

Throughout the video, we'll be showcasing some of the best sailboats on the market that feature both aft cabins and sugar scoops, and giving you tips on how to choose the right boat for your needs. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a beginner, this video will provide you with valuable insights into the world of sailboats.

Don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel for more great content on sailing and boating. Thanks for watching!

Since South Africa was not an option for us anymore and it was a rainy season in Tanzania, we explored some options. One place stood out quite a lot - the airplane tickets cheap and it was kind of a good connection for us if we decide to go home to US for a while which was our plan anyways but a little later in the season. Turkey got our attention also because as we cross Red Sea and Suez Canal we will be in Mediterranean and we are planning to spend a good time in Turkey. In that case it would be goos idea to preview what awaits for us. So we did...

We left St. Lucia and headed towards St. Vincent and The Grenadines. And we loved it so much - amazing views, very nice people and the most beautiful Tobago Cays... Just... Zivile got burned and we had to make a quick stop at a doctor's office. That did not stop us form having fun and visited Bequia, Canouan and Tobago Cays... We also sail by "the billionaire island" Mustique...

Hello Friends,

On this episode we travel back in time a bit to May of 2018 when I bought my "new to me" gimbaled alcohol stove then we snap back to the present time and get to work on designing and building the closure for the stove.

Triteia came with a fixed alcohol stove mounted in the galley. While alcohol is a much slower burning fuel than propane it has a couple of advantages. First and foremost its not explosive, this is my main reason for sticking with alcohol. The other main reason for me is that I am outfitting our boat to sail all around the world and I have seen a lot of videos of cruisers struggles to get propane in far flung places.

I finally found the time to get started on installing the oven so this episode shows my process of making a template and cutting the pieces out of plywood that will later be laminated, trimmed out in teak and installed in the galley.

I hope everyone is having a good winter catching up on boat projects like myself or at least catching up on reading sailing books while you wait for your sailing season to start!

Fair Winds,
Sailor James

Sailing Solo Across the Tasman Sea : Sailing Alone Series

Hello Friends,
After more than a year exploring New Zealand it was time to push off across the notorious Tasman Sea. Plan A was to sail to Tasmania and explore its wild islands and coastlines before heading North after cyclone season had finished. Play B was to make landfall at Eden just above Bass Strait and Plan C was to sail to Sydney to clear in.

I had been nervous about this passage for a long time as the Tasman is known to be a very dangerous bit of water. I choose my weather window wisely and pushed off on my last leg across the Great Pacific Ocean.

I have a special episode coming out next that covers my entire Pacific Adventure and talks about how I got into sailing and when I first bought Triteia.

After finishing chartering, I wanted to 'go with the wind' and explore. Given the direction of the wind, my options were limited, but I decided to go off the beaten path. This is only the first half of my week, but it was one of the best weeks of my life and I hope you can enjoy it with me.

Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation is JUST beginning... all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako)

After years of dreaming about owning our own sailboat, we’ve finally made it a reality! We’ve purchased a yacht and are now planning the adventure of a lifetime, as we prepare to live, work, and sail across the Mediterranean next year.

But why did we decide to ditch the dream of buying a Monohull?

In this video, I break down the top five reasons we decided to buy a catamaran over a monohull for our upcoming sailing adventure across the Med. If you're thinking about buying a sailboat or curious about the benefits of a cat over a monohull, here's our top reasons to buy a catamaran!

We've made our decision, we hope we don't regret it...

You seriously would not believe what we have had to deal with over the past year. Many things are too inflammatory and insane to post at this time and I hope that I will never need to. The lack of content isn't due to nothing happening, it is actually the opposite.

Robertson and Caine's CEO Theo has declined to allow us to upload the positive interactions with their staff member out here, I note this as I wanted to add it to the video in the interest of balance. "Leopard" haven't sent staff out here but have said the boat will be finished before the last week of November. Travelopia have sent a large pile of gear which is most of what we need but decline to pay Nino to clean up the mess and damage their contractor caused. I will be revisiting that later.

I am waiting to see what happens between now and launch to see if we can reach a positive conclusion for everyone involved.

Since nothing useful has happened for 5 months we can not risk our first cruising season on promises, forcing us to hedge our bets and fix our own issues. Their lack of labor assistance has forced us to employ others to fix warranty and to install all of our own gear that has been held up by warranty works for many months.

With the new Leopard Catamarans Warranty team still some time away we are continuing to get things done, fixing our sailboat. While we hope to see them and possibly even some staff from the boat builder working on Liger soon, there is less than 2 months until we hope to launch, finally getting to full time cruising aboard our Leopard 45.

In this video, check out what we've been doing, including finishing the bows, having our davits reinforced by a local Trinidad welder and more work on the old mast, which is being replaced as part of the new yacht warranty works.

This week we talk tiny houses and how you can buy something you don't have to build for $10,000 if you're willing to do some work. We talk about tiny house possibilities and why a sailboat tiny house might be much cheaper and easier than building a tiny house, van build, or skoolie. Just buy a sailboat! We cover marina costs and learning to sail as well.

Join us on a quick tour of the Bali Catspace, a 40' Sailing Catamaran that is one of their most successful models. With inverted bows and a deck design that is designed for ease of movement. The “BALI door” opens up the living space of the saloon-cockpit area, and thanks to the large windows, the interior is bathed in light. This catamaran feels bigger than 40'.
.
The Catspace has lounge areas on the foredeck and on its flybridge. The helm station is up top too, to starboard, and is surrounded on the side and behind with cushions.

We have to return our charter boat to the marina in Naples Italy and since it is very enar by, we visit the ancient Roman city of Pompei. Pompei was completely covered in ash from the Eruption of Mount Vesivious in 79AD and the city was essentially preserved for 2,000 years! We have to leave Italy and in this video we tell you where we are headed next and give you a sneak peak at the new boat.
