#sailboatrefit #boatbuilding #sailingfamily #sailboat #open60 #sailing #sailingnv #sailingvlog #raceboat #cruising #boatwork #lifeinfiji #nandorfa #vendeeglobe #refit With only 8 weeks left until we need to get back into the water, time is getting short. We had some good news and bad news this week and we have a special announcement to make! (Watch to find out!) This week we want to say an extra special thank you to André for sending Timo a new phone (after Timo destroyed his old one). And to Jason at Diverse Rigging & Yachting https://diverserigging.com.au/ for the dog bones that we need for the running back stays for the new forestay we want to make. As well as to our new friends Dan and Jilly from SY Dazzler that brought us the bar for our mast, you can follow them at https://dazzlerswatch.com/ And thanks to David Hartman Photography https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnNINujJzPy6qCWBj5q9piQ for the nice video clip of the bow of NV gliding through the water with the dolphins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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! Subscribe to our channel&track our progress as we release videos about our journey as well as "how to" videos about anything boat related. Never stop to dream, never stop to sail!
