Highs and Lows of our first month sailing Welcome back to Sailing NV, where we’re refitting and Open 60 race boat. After a 2 years on the hard in Fiji, we’re finally back in the water and transiting to life afloat once more… but the refit isn’t entirely over so this week we take you with us through the highs and lows of our first few weeks back on the water, taking you to the top of our nearly 30 metre carbon mast and down to the bottom of our nearly 5 metre keel as we finally find ourselves anchored in crystal clear water once again for the first time in 2 years! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enjoyed this video please consider supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or Ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or with a one-off donation via paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caio! We are Timo and Jo, an Italian and English couple with countless ocean miles under our belts. We're refitting an ex Vendée Globe Open 60 race boat originally designed & built & raced by famous Hungarian sailor Nándor Fa. He competed in her in the 1992 Vendée Globe (round the world single handed race known as “the Everest of the seas”), finishing 5th, becoming the first non-frenchman to finish. We are currently in Fiji giving this old gladiator a new lease on life, transforming her from an ex race boat to a performance family cruiser, which we'll need to make both dog and baby proof! We’re planning to set sail again in Oct 2022, so with limited time&money we have plenty of challenges ahead to turn our dreams into reality&get back on the water!
