Replacing Our Main Sail During a Leopard Flotilla. E56
In this episode, we have a lot of fun partying with other Leopard owners on the Spring 2022 Leopard Owners Flotilla in The Bahamas.
While we were there, we replaced our main sail with a new one that we bought from Leopard. We also replaced our stack pack with a used one. And guess what! They are both the wrong size? It took us 5 hours to replace both. What a pain. Now we have to take the sail down and send it back. Even more of a pain.
Luckily, we made lots of friends on the flotilla, and a bunch of them jumped in to help.
Special thanks to Chris Pendl on Cascadia and his friend Andrea for working well into the night helping us replace them the first time.
Katie Baker and her assistant Christina from Leopard, and Carly Gory for arranging such and awesome week of activities and specialty drinks.
We also hung out a lot with friends and fellow Leopard 45 YouTubers Todd, Erin, and Will from Sailing Symphony and Jim and Stephanie from Labmariner. Both great channels and fun to watch:

AND, special thanks to:
Tim and Catherine from Lucky
Stacy and Terry from Blessings
and Landon and Shawn from Sippin Pretty for sweating their butts off for hours in the hot Bahamian sun to help us take down the new sail and put the old one back up. We love all of you people and can't wait to sail with you again soon.
