In this video we break down what Leopard Catamarans has given us beyond the rectification of warranty and collateral damage on our Leopard 45. While these gestures were appreciated and are being recognized in the interest of fairness and transparency, is it enough?
I put this together with the best...
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 ...
This is it, the 10 day period before our scheduled launch and final chance to leave the hardstand this year, one of the most stressful, sleepless times I've had in my life, where unexpected problems piled on and we struggled to get this boat to where it needed to be, putting in everything we ha...
We have been crazy busy since the mast went up, working long days to get our Leopard 45 Catamaran across the line and ready to at least be back in the water by the end of the year.
This episode we share 10 jobs that have happened in the week or so between Leopard Catamaran's warranty repair t...

After over 2 years of issues with the mast on our Leopard 45 Catamaran, the new ZSpars mast goes up with the assistance of their top rigger, the wonderful Frenchman Jean Gui.
It wasn't without its problems, with parts needing to be machined, new ca...
We BUY a NEW Outboard motor for our dingy. It's been 6 years since we bought a new outboard and we are really nervous about our decision. IT´s been almost a year trying to decide what to buy and the day has finally arrived. Join us as we take you through the process of unboxing, setup, test and...
Over the next two episodes we're going to take you through a play by play of what it was like getting a whole new mast on our sailboat, from stripping down the old mast to stepping the new mast. For those of you who are new, we also touch on why it is that our barely used boat is having the mas...
We get right back into the teak work on our Beneteau sailboat. Last week we did the long hours of sanding all the teak toe rails till they were nice and smooth. Then we went through the process of using wood filler to fill in all the gaps in the teak.
This week we are straight back at it with sandi...
There are many parts of a sailboat that require ongoing maintenance, but few are generally as laborious as working on teak. Whether it's decks, toe rails, seats or interior wood. Teak requires constant maintenance. The debate around Stain vs Varnish continues and both have good qualities. Check...
As the end of the hurricane season looms our crew and the Leopard Catamarans / Robertson & Caine redemption warranty team work together to get our Leopard 45 repaired and finally finished, after years on the hardstand and years dealing with hundreds of warranty issues.
This episode we backfill ...
Living aboard a sailboat can get complicated very fast. We have spent enough time sailing the world to witness it first hand to us and other sailors. So sometimes it makes sense to just simplify your day to day life on a sailboat so that stress doesn't get the better of you.
It often those sma...

Our story started as 3 friends setting out to explore the world by sea, and became what some have called a David and Goliath fight to have the warranty issues on our new Leopard 45 Catamaran rectified.

Most things you do on your boat will have only minor impacts to your sailboat performance and your wallet. But sometimes there are certain things, that if ignored, could end up costing you thousands of dollars in repairs and render your sailboat useless.

After about 6 months with no one working on Liger from the boat builder or broker, a combined team of staff has arrived in Trinidad from Robertson & Caine and Travelopia, the companies behind Leopard Catamarans and the Moorings.
After having to miss the Annapolis boat show due needing to be her...
It's rare if not unheard of for someone to ever have the chance to visit the factory where their sailboat was made. It's even more rare if that factory has been abandoned. Well, we get that chance and it's an emotional experience.
We also finally replace our water tank that has been ...
Abandon Ship, we are sinking, the boat is going down! All words that bring complete fear, loss, sadness and the reality that Mother Nature needs to be respected.
We sail the world with the full understanding that we are susceptible to the risk of losing the boat for any number of reasons. We strive...
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 ...
Sleep on a sailboat can mean the difference between good and bad decisions, decreased safety and just overall quality of life. There are few things we value this important on our sailboat, so we take it pretty seriously when it's time to make improvements.
We also reveal a huge addition and su...
With the most dangerous part of the hurricane season looming over us, we are desperate to get north as fast as possible. We have been traveling up the ICW for the better part of a week now and we still have hundreds of miles to sail before we reach our destination.
What seems like endless amounts o...
In this episode of Sailing Zephyr, we face a tough decision: should we brave the leftover swells and winds from Hurricane Ernesto to continue our journey, or make a quick dash to Florida and wait for a better weather window? 🌊
As we weigh our options, we make a stop at Guana Cay to clean the hull,...
