Ciao! We're a sailing family pursuing an unconventional dream of converting an ex Vendée Globe Open 66 race boat into a fast family cruiser. We're an English (Jo) & Italian (Timo) couple with countless ocean miles under our belts plus our son Nemo & furry son Solo.

Our sailboat NV was 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're giving this old gladiator a new lease on life, transforming her from an ex race boat to a performance family cruiser. After a 2 year refit in Fiji we're now continuing our circumnavigation and refit on the water!
