New Beginning - Relaunch Day Is Here! | S2 Ep 75

After six weeks on land, it’s finally relaunch day! In this episode, we get our Open 66 back in the water after completing the biggest upgrade of our refit — installing a brand-new Nanni engine. This moment marks a huge milestone in transforming our ex-Vendée Globe race boat into a fast family cruiser. From painting the last layer of antifoul and adding our Patrons’ names to the hull, to that first quiet start-up of the new engine — this day means everything. With our new Nanni purring softly below deck, we finally motor off into the sunset — back where we belong. ⚓ Watch the full Engine Refit Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdG7hVnYt74&list=PL2qAIN9cA-VOlLR1B_79ELAUbG2q3BlSr 🎨 Support the project: Join our amazing community on Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV Or buy us a coffee on Ko-fi → https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv 🛠 About our boat: We’re refitting an ex-Vendée Globe Open 66 into a fast, functional family cruiser — sharing the highs, lows, and lessons of life aboard. 📺 Subscribe to follow the full refit & sailing adventure 📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/sailingnv 🐾 Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/joanna.s.hutchinson #SailingNV #BoatRefit #BoatRelaunch
