It's been nearly five years since we first set eyes on this boat - a former Vendée Globe racing yacht built for speed and survival, not comfort. Since then, we've been slowly transforming her into a home for our growing family. In this episode, we take you inside the refit that turned a stripped-out offshore racer into a warm, liveable home. From cutting open ballast tanks and moving the head to building double beds, smart storage, and even a family-sized bathtub - we're sharing what it really took to make this boat work for full-time cruising with two young kids and a rescue dog. Whether you've followed our journey from the beginning or are just discovering us now, this video is a look back at the decisions - big and small - that shaped our floating life. After five years living aboard our ex-racing sailboat, we wanted to share how we turned it into a floating home for our sailing family. ??

This week we're finally revealing the exact engine model we chose - the Nanni N4.65 - and all the boat modifications that decision required. We walk you through how we matched horsepower to our hull design, the challenges of modifying our engine room, and the extra components we've added to make this upgrade work for our full-time off-grid sailing life. We also tackle the big questions: sail drive vs shaft, and of course? the money. This was a huge step for us, and we're so excited to finally share all the details. Let us know what you think - and if you're planning a re-power yourself, feel free to ask us anything! 00:00 Intro 00:49 Hull design & horse power 01:58 Engine size & engine room mods 12:41 Getting the engine into the boat 13:46 Additional components 17:45 Money 18:07 Shaft or sail drive 19:32 Announcing our choice of engine model 20:37 Next steps... 21:58 Special announcements - ?

After years of coaxing our old engine through breakdowns, maintenance struggles, and endless repairs? it's finally time. ? In this episode, we reveal the engine we've chosen to power our off-grid sailing life - and explain exactly why it's the right fit for our family, our boat, and the remote places we sail to. We're a family of four (plus our rescue dog Solo), living full-time aboard our ex-Vendée Globe Open 66 - a retired race boat we've been transforming into a fast, off-grid home. Every system matters - and this engine upgrade is one we've been dreaming about since day one. ? If you're thinking of re-powering your own boat, or just curious what goes into choosing the right marine engine for long-term cruising, we're sharing everything we've learned along the way. - ?

7 people, 1 dog, and a former Vendée Globe race boat - sailing through the remote northern coast of Borneo. No marinas. No charts you can trust. Just a wild stretch of Southeast Asia? and a big transformation coming for NV. In this episode, we set off with three new crew members and prep the boat for true off-grid living - cooking from scratch, anchoring in uncharted bays, and a fast sail on the last leg. We even fire up the beach pizza oven. And behind the scenes? We're getting ready to announce which engine we've chosen to carry NV into her next chapter. ? Think you know what we picked?

We've had so many people say this boat wasn't meant to cruise. But here we are, slow sailing, raising kids, making it work. It's not always easy, but it's 100% ours." Join us as we cruise slowly up the coast of Borneo on our ex-Vendée Globe ocean racer - now home to a young family living off-grid aboard (including a baby, a dog, and some very fresh crew). It's not a race anymore - it's a life. From baby naps and beach cleanups to training new crew and replacing engines, this is what slow sailing life looks like when your boat used to race around the world. This episode is all about slow mornings, barefoot beach walks, training new crew, and the challenge of living off-grid while raising little ones on a boat that once sailed solo around the world. "This isn't a race anymore. It's a life." "Even though she's not racing right now, this boat still loves to move - and these days, she's training her next crew." "It's sad to realise that for Nemo, trash-covered beaches are just normal - it's all he's ever known." ?

We've been in Kota Kinabalu, on the north coast of Borneo, for many months now-firstly awaiting the birth of our newest crew member, Tao, and then trying to resolve some persistent issues with our engine. After years of problems with our 30-year-old engine, we've finally decided it's time to treat NV to a new one. But changing an engine isn't just about picking the right model-it's also about tackling the logistics. First on the list: finding a yard that can haul us out. That's no easy task in this part of the world, especially for a boat like ours with nearly five metres of draft. Fortunately, we'd actually hauled out about 100 miles north of here, in a sleepy fishing town called Kudat, about six months ago. But that haul-out wasn't exactly straightforward. The yard is mostly used by local fishing boats. While it's becoming more popular with yachties, it lacks some of the facilities you'd expect elsewhere. Plus, the owner doesn't speak much English, so communication can be a challenge. In fact, to even get confirmation that they could lift us, we had to go there in person. Then there was the issue of how they support boats out of the water. They use concrete blocks stacked on top of each other, which wouldn't be stable enough at the height required for our deep draft. Luckily, they agreed to dig us a pit-but it was too deep, filled with water, and when they first set us down, they refused to support the keel. That caused some damage to the hull where it rested on the supports. Thankfully, Timo was able to repair it easily, and in the end, the haul-out was a success. But all of this is to say: it's not a simple situation. Given how complex our last haul-out was, we're not entirely sure the yard will agree to lift us again. And when we've called to try and arrange it, they haven't confirmed anything-so we've figured we'll need to go there in person, again, to try sort it out. The boat yard is about 200 kms from Kota Kinabalu and about 4hours drive depending on traffic. We didn't video the conversation, but thankfully the yard manager said yes! There was a boat just about to go in our place but he said when they're done in about 3 weeks time, we can go back in our pit! So we celebrated by going to visit some friends of ours at there eco resort and jungle camp called Tampat do Aman, half an hr from the boat yard, close to the coast near the north tip of borneo where the Sulu and China sea meet and whose daughter is Nemo's best friend By the way if any of you are headed up this way or plan to spend time in this yard, we can highly recommend visiting Tampat do Aman for a few days of recuperation and exploration, to learn something about the local culture and meet the local wildlife. I'll let the owner Howard tell you a bit more about this special place he's created... 00:00 Intro & recap 01:46 Driving to Kudat 03:43 Visiting the boat yard 06:06 Visiting our friends eco resort and jungle camp Ampat Do Aman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you'd like to support us on Patreon, our website https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv or if you'd like to help us buy something we need, you can check out our amazon wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1G2NJ0EGJLKR0?ref_=wl_share ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you'd like to visit our friends Eco resort/jungle camp Tampat Do Aman you can contact them on whatsapp on +601116057737 or email tampatdoaman@gmail.com or visit their instagram Tampat_do_aman #boatrepair #boatlife #sailboat

We're finally giving up on keeping our 30 year old engine alive and looking for something new and bigger! This means we need to organise the following things - it will be coming from Europe so we need to work out the logistics of shipping it to us - it is going to be bigger than our old engine so we'll also need a new sail drive, which means we'll need to find somewhere to haul out again (Kudat?) - modify the engine room to fit a bigger engine - find a method to get the engine into the boat, eg local crane, rotate our bimini structure 00:00 Intro and recap 00:19 Future plans 02:33 Where to haul out 04:09 Boat cradles 08:14 Getting the new engine into the boat 10:06 Thank you to our Patreons & Ko-fi supporters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you'd like to support us on Patreon, our website https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv or if you'd like to help us buy something we need, you can check out our amazon wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1G2NJ0EGJLKR0?ref_=wl_share #boatrepair #boatlife #sailboat

They say cruising is just fixing your boat in exotic places. From broken anchor winches and dinghies to stitching sails and repairing toilets, here is a taster of some of the jobs we've tackled in the last year... So if you're dreaming of sailing off into the sunset, watch this before you buy a boat... Turquoise water, palm trees, dolphins... and diesel leaks.When our fuel tank sprang a leak, Timo decided to learn how to weld plastic so he could repair it. Magical sunrises, peaceful mornings... and oil leaks. Over the past year, we've resealed our fridge, fixed the kitchen counter, and repaired the oven door.We also had to replace both our outboard and dinghy. We were very lucky to find this second-hand dinghy - even if it meant sailing 100 nautical miles in the wrong direction (and back!) to pick it up. We've ripped sails-and stitched sails. We installed and modified starlink and made a new double bed. We've repaired our damaged paddleboard, the autopilot, and even the damper plate between the engine and gearbox. But sadly, we weren't so successful with the generator or the watermaker. The to-do list never ends-but neither do the rewards. And that makes it worth every drop of sweat! 00:00 Intro 00:53 Repairing our diesel tank 01:32 Changing the rear crank shaft seal of the engine 02:32 Resealing our fridge, fixing the kitchen counter, and repairing the oven door 03:13 Replacing both our outboard and dinghy 05:11 Repairing sails 05:58 Installing and modifying starlink 06:24 Making a double bed 07:03 Repairing our damaged paddleboard 08:53 Repairing our autopilot 09:32 Breaking and repairing the damper plate between the engine and gearbox (for the second time!) 14:22 Broken watermaker and generator 14:59 Unblocking the toilet! 17:30 Conclusion 18:35 Outtakes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you'd like to support us on Patreon, our website https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv or if you'd like to help us buy something we need, you can check out our amazon wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1G2NJ0EGJLKR0?ref_=wl_share #boatrepair #boatlife #sailboat
