Step inside the heart of this incredible vessel! We're standing next to a genuine piece of maritime history: a Gardner 6L3 engine that rolled off the line long before WWII ended. Forget modern complexity; this powerhouse has logged between 120,000 and 150,000 hours, even after a couple of rebuilds! It proudly replaced the original three-cylinder Fairbanks Morse, but the real magic is the startup: watch how we use 230 PSI of high-pressure air to coax this mechanical giant into life, manually cycling it before it catches its rhythm. This isn't just an engine; it's a legend that defines incredible longevity and access to every system you can imagine! #TrawlerLife #ClassicYacht #BoatRestoration #ChrisCraft #YachtLens #WoodenBoat #Liveaboard #YachtTour #GardnerDiesel #MarineEngine #GardnerEngine #VintageMachinery #BoatLife #AirStart #MechanicalMarvel #OldSchoolPower #MaritimeHistory

Sailing our BayCruiser 21 with the spinnaker up for the sea trials in Kiel. This was for The European Yacht of The Year Awards. Our boat is the only UK built yacht nominated for 2025 award, fingers crossed!
