Qué cubre este vídeo
The owners of the 58-foot sailboat Nahoa, currently based in Fiji, purchased a 2002 Monero 24-foot powerboat in British Columbia to use for seasonal coastal cruising while overseeing new boat construction.0:36 The selection criteria prioritized a trailerable, diesel-powered vessel with sufficient range for exploring remote inlets, overnight sleeping capacity, and a low enough purchase price to mitigate financial risk.1:10 The Monero features a 230-horsepower Volvo KAD 43 mechanical diesel engine and a deep-V hull design with a 20-degree deadrise.28:53 Before settling on the Monero, the owners evaluated an 80-foot aluminum sailboat, Leonor, but rejected it due to high maintenance costs and international cruising restrictions for vessels exceeding 25.5 meters in length.17:45 They also considered a 40-foot lobster boat project that lacked a drivetrain and required extensive refitting.20:46 The acquired Monero requires cosmetic repairs and mechanical troubleshooting, but the owners intend to use it for regional boat camping.31:27 Choosing a vessel that fits a specific mission profile and budget is more critical than the total size or initial purchase price of the boat.
