Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the former Vendée Globe raceboat NV discovered structural damage to the port-side D1 rod rigging terminal while docked in Langkawi.1:25 The self-aligning terminal seized in a fixed position due to a lack of regular maintenance, causing the rod to bend and twist under load.2:19 After consulting with a mast builder, the owners decided to replace the entire standing rigging rather than performing a partial repair.3:25 This maintenance project coincides with a broader evaluation of the vessel’s future as the family transitions from a period of constant Pacific and Southeast Asian cruising to a more stationary lifestyle in Malaysia.3:40 Having logged over 10,000 nautical miles, the crew is currently planning a second major refit to evolve the boat from its current cruising configuration into a more capable long-term home.10:56 The owners intend to document this upcoming transformation in a future series of updates.9:50
