The draft is still 4.5m and the mast 100'. NV was originally designed, built &amp;amp; raced by famous Hungarian sailor N\u00e1ndor Fa. He competed in her in the 1992 Vend\u00e9e Globe finishing 5th, becoming the first non-frenchman to finish. When I spoke with Timo and Jo, they were in Lombok, Indonesia, preparing to go see the dragons on Komodo Island. We also talk about moving from a Young Sun 35 to the IMOCA racer, modifications to the boat to make it a family cruiser, maintaining the boat's weight, why we love sailing, and lots more.&amp;nbsp; Support the show with Patreon patreon.com\/paultrammell Shownotes are here https:\/\/www.paultrammell.com\/podcast-season-7 ","author_name":"Offshore Sailing and Cruising with Paul Trammell","author_url":"http:\/\/offshoresailingandcruising.libsyn.com\/site","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/32123392\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/174479667"}
