The Scary Truth Behind Our Old Engine | S2 Ep 65
Removing the old engine from our Open 66 sailboat revealed a dangerous surprise that could have sunk us at sea. This week on NV, we’ve got some good news… and some bad news. We’re still in the boatyard in Kudat, North Borneo, taking the next step in our Open 66 refit — removing the old engine. It’s a big moment we’ve been working towards for months, but as always with boat projects, there’s a twist… While lifting the engine out, we also discovered something that could have sunk the boat if it had failed at sea. In between all that, Jo heads into Kota Kinabalu to hunt down hard-to-find parts for our unusual exhaust system, and to the airport to talk to customs about the new engine. Join us for a week of heavy lifting, last-minute city runs, and one dangerous surprise we’re glad we found in the yard. ⛵ About Us We’re a family of four (plus our dog) refitting an ex-Vendée Globe Open 66 into an off-grid family cruiser while sailing around the world.
