Cracks, Voids, Dry Fiberglass & Damaged Hull Sections - Yes That Bad! | NEW Leopard Catamaran Review
In the next part of our review of buying a new boat from Leopard Catamarans, I address the vertical hull cracks that were present on our bows and transoms. I show you what was discovered when they were ground back in the shipyard in South Africa and how the subsequent repairs were messed up and had to be revisited in Trinidad where more issues were discovered.

During our time in Trinidad our escape from the boat yard was the jungle, a place far removed from the noise, dust and industrial atmosphere. Spottin monkeys was always a source of entertainment, especially for our Aussie Shepherd Rose! #dog #boatdog #boa...

Teaching the Dog to Cheers!
There's no denying our Australian Shepherd dog Rose is pretty smart, with a big personality and plenty of attitude! As a result she often feels less like a boat dog, and more like having another human aboard. Thanks to our new crew member Lukasz, she's d...
The Trinidad You Should Get to Know!
In our opinion, Trinidad's natural beauty is massively under rated! When it comes to Caribbean jungle and waterfalls, and in fact jungle landscapes in general, it's world class. When our new crew member Lukasz arrived in Trinidad to join us living aboard ...
