Having just bought our boat. It was time to learn to sail her and try out all the sails that came aboard along the beautiful Spanish coast. We had the gentlemen from Advanced Wing Systems on board to show us how to handle the Advanced Wing Sail and trim it properly. We checked out our Asymmetrical & Code Zero sails and just enjoyed our time in the Valencia Mar Marina where we were docked for the duration of our stay in Valencia, Spain. This is just a snippet of what it was like for us!

I looked at that boat at the Annapolis boat show in 2022. I loved the design. However, there were never any available for purchase. So I bought a Leopard 45. I moved my boat up to Annapolis from Ft. Lauderdale and inadvertently ended up staying in the marina where the US importer of the Vision 444 is based. Anyway, due to my viewing of Vision 444 videos, the KZfaq algorithm decided to show me this video.

We are actually here in Annapolis this year (and were in Fort Lauderale most of the summer coincidently! (I'm a bit far behind on these videos...new stuff is coming in like a week or two!). The hull has been awesome. We love her. We purchased #4 from an investor who unfortunately put a prototype rig on it and we have been battling that, but should have the standard rig on it shortly which will make life much easier for us! Hope you love your Leopard and enjoying the cat life as much as we are!

Wait what??? There is water coming through the hull? Your boat is beautiful and thanks for sharing but can you please say something about that wet elephant in the room?

Ha! Fair enough. I was curious if anyone would even catch that as they skipped through :) I'll talk about it more in an upcoming video on our haul out where we believe we found the root cause, but yes. Not a fun find!

Ah thanks so much for replying and sharing your lovely boat. But I must admit at this moment I’m wondering what’s going on with it…. a halyard pulled through the carbon fibre mast, water through the hull…. I’m sure I’m wrong but it’s sounding like incorrect infusion? In any case may I please make two suggestions? In your “about” section perhaps say something of the type and size of the boat? And another is to slow the long text section display time. Thickheads like me aren’t fast enough readers. :) But thanks again for sharing your adventure and lovely boat with us.

@@tonyfromaus7855 Great suggestions. I want to move to voice overs instead of the text explanations. It's all mostly pictures so far on our journey. Trying to do more videos. Just don't have the "tech" yet to make it sound okay! Will add the details! It's a Vision 444, Hull #4 which splashed in 2021. And there are lots of issues to discuss, but mostly due to the uniqueness of the Rig and Motors that came with her when we got her. She is very sturdy hull, which is good. B/c we have certainly tested her!
