Neel 51 Trimaran Atlantic Crossing, ARC Regatta - Ep.2/5

Great boat. I would just have fitted another fridge in all that storage space.

Not very fond of the unprotected helm station. Of course many sailboats suffer from that flaw.

Do you lock the crew in the bilge? We haven't met them once.

Be thankful of fruit it proves its not GM

If the fruit spoils fast means it wasnt sprayed with all kinds of shitty stuff. Good for you bot not for ocean crossing.

I like how Igor is reviewing absolutely everything. Even the sardine cans.

Very informative video, thanks a lot! One question though: What is the problem in getting close to Africa? If I would be close to it I would love to get closer and see the big sand dunes and maybe other exciting landscapes.

😊

Safety checks are a good thing as long as they are actually just that. With a secondary check for trafficking of anything illegal. The later a slightly grey area. If there is evidence of this ok. As with a cop and a traffic stop. You have protections against unreasonable search and seizures. Not ok if this is a fishing expedition with civil asset forfeiture their aim. If you have weapons and you are legally allowed to have them they are legally and correctly stored. They cannot take them. As with any interaction record. Know your local laws for the area you are in be that on land air or water. Also know and stand by your rights.

Is this your neel 51?

WD40 Duct tape and don't forget cable ties but be careful the last one it can snap or be damaged by sun and sea water so don't get cheap Chinese ties. : )

Can you single hand that trimaran?

Love your informative long videos! Thank you for sharing.

A percice and get class on sailing.
Great teaching and receding.

Igor, you're an inspiration my friend. Im loving your videos.

Hi Igor
Did you ever been victim of pirates attack? Are there any areas you know beeing at risk of pirates in the Med?

good. dont sail to far.

I love how Igor goes into great detail on things like the radar. It's so informative and nobody else does this. Thanks bud!

So good to see you are hooked in and wearing a life jacket.I see so many channels, even with kids, with no life jackets and no life line.

I have sailed mono and cat but never a tri... they look like they should sail more like a mono?

5.5sog with 8.5tws is really fast for a boat that size. I was expecting it to be faster in higher winds from what you were showing earlier in the trip. I think if you were more familiar with the boat and had some different sails to use, it would be a bit faster, more than 1knot. From others speculation, I'm surprised at you saying its very quiet during passage with no structure creaking. the seas aren't that high but it seems like the boat is very stable, not leaning or bouncing much.

I really liked the downwind sail lecture. How do you feel about drifters?

Take a shot everytime he says Lagoon! He said it at least 30 times. 😊

Do you prefer the trimaran over a Catamaran?

How can we join you and how much is it?

Great video. Very entertaining and informative. Thank you.....

If you wish to sail with a Catamaran, emulate Igor

Thank You , Igor you are great Catamaran sailor.

You are a great sailor Igor.

Fabulous catamaran sailor. Thnx Much

I like this video a lot. I feel like I'm learning as part of the crew

Thank you for your explanations of things you do during your voyage. It is very helpful because I am a beginner. I am considering purchasing a Neel trimaran as well. Safe journeys !

Hi Igor. I wanted to ask you if I could use a few clips from your NEEL 51 trans Atlantic series in an upcoming preliminary review of the new NEEL 52 that I am planning. I enjoyed your comments on the motion of the boat, the lack of squeaking, and the comfort of the aft facing settee in the cockloon. I would love to include these in my video. Please let me know if this would be OK. Many thanks. Dave.

🌟🌟👍👌👌

great explanation about for-wind sailing strategy. Thanks!

Hello Igor! Do You Feel That a Trimaran, Moves With Waves, More Than a Catamaran? I've Noticed the Trimaran's Hull Is Lower in Water Than the Amas do. I Sense That the Boat Would Rock More Side to Side, Than a Catamaran. What Say You?
Great Videos! When I Finally Purchase My Either catamaran or Trimaran, I Hope to Hire You Out, for a 6 Month Tour, and Learn Everything That You Know. ha..!

Igor, nice to see the Canadian flag. The rocking of the Trimaran seems a little disconcerting regarding the chances of losing your breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Love it

The one sailboat, Uma, is a big sailing Vlog couple. They are great

Do you ever go fishing off of the boats? If I’m sailing that many days in a row I would want to try and catch some fish. If you do I would love videos on that!

Couldn't stop watching. Excellent camera work, sound and content. Yeoman job explaining and conveying all aspects of the crossing. Very curious what you think the speed would have been with the downwind sails? Think layout of Neel 51 looks ideal DT work and play, the way it rides and smoothness says a lot. I get there are people who want better finishes but the price seems good value. If you can keep speed in double digits with the right sails you are getting comfort and performance which is what makes this boat interesting to me. With satellite high speed coming, the sailing lifestyle may become more popular.

It’s like we get to sail with you and hear your tips and stories. I like the funny ending too with the round can sardines. 😂

Thank you

Wing to wing adjustment seems to hinder vision.

Have learned a lott from you! Thanks! Loved the bit about up to date safety equipment and keep the tips about sail trimming coming. Why go on a big cat or thri that doesent have a power sail and a code cero, given what you learned in the last year or so?
