Our Fiji Refit!
Haul out
Having a 4.2m draft makes finding a yard able to lift us tricky!
Even at high tide the channel leading into the basin was too shallow for us, so we tied a huge inflatable tube underneath one side of our hull in order to heel us over to reduce our draft!
We managed in Vuda Marina in Fiji thanks to the amazing staff who made this possible for us! They even dug us two narrow cyclone pits for our keel and rudder, thanks Vuda!
Above deck
Our first job when we arrived in Vuda Marina in Fiji was to remove our 30m carbon fibre mast before cyclone Yasa hit in December 2020.
Bowsprit Installation
We reinstalled our 2m carbon fibre bow sprit to fly our gennakers further forward
New forestay
Having the mast down also gave us the chance to add a third middle forestay to which we attached the original racing tuff luff that was originally on our front forestay

Heads
We moved the position of our heads, which meant we spent our Christmas holidays removing the walls and contents of the heads ready to reposition in the port bow
