We're coming to the end of a big refit we've been doing, transforming an Open 60 race boat, into a fast family cruiser!

She was originally designed built and raced in the Vendée Globe, a single handed non stop around the world race known as "the Everest of the Seas".

Before we launch, we thought we'd give you a tour of the inside so you could see how things are shaping up.

Products we've been using:

Interprotect epoxy primer - to prime and seal both above and below the waterline

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!
