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

I'm finally painting my bulkheads! There is still a lot of sanding involved, but the end is in sight! If you're interested in more information on my trip, please visit my website :) https://windhippie.com/

Set course for the Bahamas with Lagoon. 🌴 From turquoise waters and unspoiled nature to vibrant local culture and encounters with exotic wildlife, every stop is an invitation to escape. ✨ 📸Lianna Marie @‌thisworldmyview #YourDreamDestination #Lagoon450 #Lagoon38 #LagoonCatamarans #Bahamas _______________________________________________________ CATAMARAN INNOVATORS SINCE 1984 Lagoon was formed in pursuit of connection – with ourselves, our loved ones and the world around us. By bringing the human experience to the 7 seas, we’ve been able to unleash an unbridled sense of curiosity and instinctual need for quality since 1984. Something we wouldn’t have accomplished without a collective passion for spectacular destinations and even better journeys getting there. As confirmed sailors, we all know that our boats have to be fast, comfortable and safe: seaworthy. We build them based on our love of the sea and the constant aim of good-quality work. We design them as if we were the future owners. As shipbuilders and sailors, it is part of our logic.

Before the sun disappears, there’s one important job left: inspect the entire boat, enjoy the view, and make sure everything is ready for another day of adventures at sea. 😸🐾 #cat #sunset #sailingwithcats #happycats #happylife #catadventure #cattravels #catlove #catlife #sailing #sailinglife #catamaran #boatlife

Only for the fun of it! My local friend's daughter is such an entertainer, and we decided to make this short together. She is the cutest little girl and she even speaks excellent English. So fun to have such a great connection with the family running the Warung at the dinghy dock
