What's Left on our Leopard 45 After 21+ MONTHS of Repair Time

After launching just before Christmas we dove straight into work, assessing what remained unresolved on our Leopard Catamaran after the extensive warranty related haul out, getting her clean and ready to sail. This includes tensioning the rig, assessing collateral damage and showing you the current state of things like the door, mainsail and table.

While we appreciate the genuine efforts of people who have helped us on our journey, including certain individuals at both Leopard Catamarans and Robertson & Caine, the last few years have been the worst of our lives. I share some of my current thoughts and opinions as eloquently as I could (keeping in mind this is an emotional subject), frustrated over losing years of our lives to this awful experience after working hard to achieve a dream of sailing the world, and still hoping that our experience affects change that means no other owner goes through something like this, whether publicly as we choose to do or privately as many who've reached out to us have done.

I also touch on our 2025 cruising plans, including where we hope to sail our Leopard 45 before the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season comes around again.
