RACE BOAT REFIT - new crew, new power | Ep. 27

RACE BOAT REFIT - new crew, new power | Ep. 27 With only 8 weeks left until we need to get back into the water, time is getting short. This was our first week with out new team mates Lars and Matej who were a great help. This week we tackled the bathroom thru hulls, cut the sleeve of the rudder, sanded and put primer on the keel bolts, keel plate, checked the efficiency of some second hand solar panels and more! The electrical company who've been helping us are Summer Electrical Services, so if you're looking for electrical help in Fiji, we can recommend contacting Mohit on Phone: + 679 9205958 Email: anushilachari@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enjoyed this video please consider supporting us on Patreon 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caio! We are Timo and Jo, an Italian and English couple with countless ocean miles under our belts, including sailing half way around the world from Europe to Fiji! Last year we bought an Open 66 ft race sailing boat originally designed and built by the famous Hungarian sailor Nándor Fa, which he raced in the 1990 Around Alone & 1992 Vendée Globe (round the world single handed race known as “the Everest of the seas”), becoming the first non-frenchman to finish the race. 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!
