Cosa tratta questo video
The owners of the 65-foot racing sailboat NV plan to replace their aging 38-horsepower engine with a larger, more powerful unit.1:16 This upgrade requires significant structural modifications to the engine room, including cutting out the existing fiberglass cradle, reconfiguring the engine housing, and repositioning the companionway stairs.1:51 The crew intends to haul out the vessel in Kudat, Malaysia, to perform the work, though they must first confirm the yard’s ability to accommodate the boat’s size and provide a pit for the keel.2:34 If the Kudat yard cannot support the project, the alternative is a 1,200-mile transit to Langkawi through the Malacca Strait, a route the crew considers risky given their current engine's unreliability.3:14 The project also involves designing and laminating custom, vacuum-bagged cradles that can double as cockpit steering supports while the boat is heeled.5:03 The crew is currently evaluating logistics for shipping the new engine from Europe via air or sea freight.0:23
