NEW Yacht Windows Leak & Separate From Hull... | LEOPARD 45 CATAMARAN REVIEW
If you have concerns about a window leaking we HIGHLY recommend Flex tape. It's a rubberised, waterproof tape that held the window for longer than the factory installation managed.

Over time a number of issues have been detected with the windows and skylights fitted to our 2021 Leopard 45.
In this video, Tynan shares some of his experiences from Cape Town when he was working with Trent to detect leaks and attempt to get defects rectified, we explain which window has been replaced 3 times so far (and still leaks!) and detail the terrifying experience the boys had out in the Atlantic Ocean when the owners cabin window started separating from the hull while sailing the yacht to Europe. We also take a quick look to see if ours is the only Leopard Catamaran that has experienced issues with the windows separating from the hull.

Escaping the Boatyard – I Hiked Trinidad’s Jungle Barefoot
If you've ever stepped foot in a boatyard, the first thing you'll notice is how industrial they are. Dusty. Noisy. For months I've been working on our boat - grinding, sanding and getting covered in more epoxy, gel coat and antifoul than I care to think ab...
Seeing Wild Monkeys in the Trinidad Jungle
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...
Dog Loves to Jump into Jungle Waters 🍃 #boatdog #dog #trinidad

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 ...
