For those of you that don’t know us, we’ve just finished refitting our Open 66, here in Fiji.

Last week we had our first real cyclone scare of the season and decided to seek shelter in a protected bay surrounded by reef called musket cove. Just as we were entering through the reef pass, our gearbox failed…

We attached our dinghy to the side of the boat to help drive us in through the last reef pass and get our anchor down safely.

It was getting dark by the time we got our anchor down so we had to wait for sunrise to jump in the water and see if there was something wrong with our propeller

Caio! We are Timo and Jo, an Italian and English couple with countless ocean miles under our belts. We're refitting an ex Vendée Globe Open 60 race boat originally designed & built & raced by famous Hungarian sailor Nándor Fa. He competed in her in the 1992 Vendée Globe (round the world single handed race known as “the Everest of the seas”), finishing 5th, becoming the first non-frenchman to finish.

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!
