One would have to be incredibly naive to go into boat ownership not expecting problems with the boat at some point. Boats are not like cars where you can just pull into a service station. From my understanding, Leopard and Robertson & Caine have worked with the people you mentioned to resolve their problems. Thanks for watching.
@billregan1981 You obviously are clueless of the ordeal multiple Leopards have and are experiencing daily. Approaching 2 years on the hard at multiple marinas in multiple countries. Not minor problems a reasonable person would expect. Remember, if you do not show support to others in their time of need, your time will surely arrive. And when it does, do you expect others' support? It is beyond imagination what they have been through, and still to this day, issues are still being repaired. Disregarding the quality issues, what about the effects on their peace of mind and loss of enjoyment of 2 years of their lives!!!!! What is that worth?
@@nooneanybodyknows7912a little dramatic perhaps? And vindictive? “If you do not show support to others in their time of need your time will surely arrive” 😮 Boats have problems, this is not a secret. Some more than others. I believe the boat you mentioned has crossed the Atlantic a couple of times now, so how bad could it be? In the scheme of problems in life, having your boat need repairs isn’t all that bad; try to keep some perspective. These folks are the extreme outliers, there are Leopards, Lagoons, Beneteau, Hanses, Pearson, Catalina’s…the list goes on, out there cruising everyday. Sail on!
Why do all the catamarans coming out have cheap-looking woodwork with what looks like plastic laminate on the cabinets and sharp corners? I am sure the boat is well-built and works well, but the interiors look like a cheapened assembly line glue on cabinetry....no thanks.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Well, the boats have to built to a certain price point. If everything was solid wood the cost would go up. Maybe some would be willing to pay, but the production builders are looking to turn hundreds of these a year, not just a couple like a boutique builder.
Buyer beware! Watch Travel Sketch's TH-cam channel to learn firsthand what it's like to own a Leopard cat. 😱
