DEZVLUIT: Noul nostru motor!

1. Hey guys! I know that the "why not electric question" will definitely come up here, so let me give you some reasons why we didn't go this route.
   1. Electric is absolutely the way of the future. For the majority of boats who live at a slip and go out for day sails or weekends, an electric motor is a no brainer, because you can always plug in at the dock to re-charge.
   2. People seriously underestimate how much power you actually need to be able to regenerate on board in order to have reliable electric propulsion. No, solar on a 36ft boat won't cut it. In fact, on a 36ft boat, we're already pressed to fit enough solar to cover our "house" needs.
   3. That left us with the option to install a generator. Now we're talking buying and installing an electric motor, a huge battery bank, a generator, and a fuel tank for the generator. That's too expensive for us right now.
   4. We know Uma has an electric motor – huge, huge props to them. Their boat is also significantly lighter than ours. It also comes down to willingness – they're willing to accept the pros and cons of electric. We got used to having the long range of diesel which allowed us to do trips like the canals in Europe. And remember: all sailboats are already hybrids. Most of the time we're using wind. When we want to be able to motor long distances, we want the range of a diesel.
   5. Hybrids like what Tally Ho installed are also really interesting, but again, they're expensive. They also require a fuel tank AND a battery bank, once again a space issue that Tally Ho (a 50+ft boat) can deal with differently than MCII.
   6. Ultimately, like we often say: there is no one "right solution," there is only the solution that works for you based on what you're willing to pay and what you're willing to compromise on. This was the best choice for us and our boat.

2. That a good start but I’d love to hear more about the engine RPMs, prop speed, fuel efficiency and boat speed. Or is that what the book and the notes go into?

3. Well done folks

4. Nice interesting video ! Maybe a meet and greet with scot will be a thankful moment for the dad (in law) 😊💪

5. why didn't you use a Volvo Penta range engine OR better still use an "THE British fast Diesel engine, PERKINS Diesel Engines, who build Volvo Penta in Europe under contract, And also Shibaura engines,

6. I am surprised you never went hybrid with a generator function at least as you just flick a lever and charge your battery up or charge with the propeller when sailing that's what I would have done I would even lose a bit of cabin space to accommodate it as it works so well I know you have to store more battery but then you wouldn't need gas on board which can be very dangerous many fires and new battery now are very safe and you would have a nice clean electric cooker stroke hob I know space can be a problem but you have designed that boat so well with plenty of storage I would think you wouldn't need many battery's and maybe put some in the bilge area or up high in the engine compartment on shelves or storage lockers the good thing with battery as long as they are sealed not lead acid can be put in any position and fitted in many tight spaces so you have the best of both worlds you have a fully functioning diesel engine and an electric drive as well and a generator powered by wind or by engine you have so many choices so you would use electric to get out of harbour and you can go at any time not waking anybody up same coming in and you would save so much on fuel as well it will pay for itself and you wouldn't have to worry about running out of battery power as you will always have a means of powering your battery and if you run out of fuel you can still motor into harbour safly under electric power charged by the wind. there are just so many pluses in my view yes it's not cheap but it would pay for itself very quickly if you intend to live on the boat then there would be no more going to get gas bottles to cook with just flick a switch or dial and start cooking as it will be a lot safer and cleaner. for you and the environment. full electric is a no-go for long-distance boats only hybrid or diesel will work on world trips. at the moment so all the best from john from Rugby UK.

7. In a future video could you please go a bit more into the type of cooler you chose, same for the propeller; pretty please.

8. Here's some food for thought for Maya's father: Madame de Stael once wrote, "Dear Friend, I'm going to write you a long letter because I don't have time for a short one." 😅

9. Terrific episode and love the notes!

10. Great episode and absolutely the correct choice for a future world cruising sailboat.

11. I repowered my Tartan 37 with a Beta 38 in 2020. I installed it myself with a close friend. Beta's custom foot locations make the installation much easier. The new engine has performed superbly. It's It's

12. Maya is just looking at both men with that look of…..these are my boys….lol

13. Well done! As a retired electrical engineer myself, it was a pleasure to hear Maya's father's discussion on engine sizing, propeller rpm, torque curve, fuel consumption, etc.. Proof that a dose of engineering beats the WAG (wild guess) approach every time. The amount of thought that you have put into this boat project is epic and will hold you well as you cruise for years. There's an old saying: "when you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." You folks are at the opposite end of that spectrum. Hope that Canada has been kinder to Aladino wrt visa duration. Keep up the good work and every wish for health and success with MC II in 2024.

14. I found Aladinos indian half brother. 😂 https://youtu.be/R5MR9tQ1Qzw?si=q5rKOHbX1qDv-Qmd

15. I loved this one. I am a sucker for the tech bits 🙂 Great work guys, and thanks for sharing. Enzo will be a great companion but why not spring for the Ferrari V12?

16. I love Enzo already!!!

17. Isn’t it great that father in law has same interests … sweet parents … thank u 🇨🇦 ❤

18. Isn’t it great to have a parents with same interests…kind people to help with details and engine delivery 🇨🇦 ❤

19. This no mechanic experience actually found it very interesting!

20. Loves that, more please with these two! Love to k ow the technology stuff! Awesome!🎉

21. Your naming the engine ENZO

22. Maya could charm the socks of any engineer. Great work, great brains, great talent and great family! Keep it going..

23. Wow… found this episoed very exiting. There is so much to know if you build a boat by your owen… dini, ich bin immer wieder begeistert wie tief du in die Themen einsteigst… i keep watching every episoed

24. Dry wise choice.

25. Very interesting episode, thank you! 👍

26. I'm not an engine person that that was very interesting

27. Completely agree with the traditional injector choice over the common rail option. Also keep close eye on the quality of fuel when you do fuel in out ports. Get some water cut paste in your fueling set up. Water in the fuel is the bane of marine engines. If you're going with Racors, those clear lower bowls will make it easier to notice contaminated fuel, but sounding the tanks with water cut paste will let you know immediately if there is a problem when fueling or if there is a bad tank vent that is allowing water in.

28. A lot of helpful knowledge. I own a Mirage 35.

29. Just wanted to let you guys know I’ve been unsubscribed again. I believe this is the third time do we know why this happens?

30. You are soo very fortunate to have 2 awesome men in your life😁

31. Yay Gartside!

32. Once your finished with upgrades, and after you been cruising for a while, maybe a book on your adventures could be something to consider? Something that focuses on the behind the scenes discussions and decisions. God bless the both of you, it's been awesome watching your progress and the honest way you show it!

33. HA! The men clearly enjoying the nerdy conversation. Maya just rolling her glazed over eyes.

34. Very interesting analysis….. really enjoyable 😊

35. Wenn ihr könnt, das hängt an diesen Motor eine BALMAR Redline 6 Alternator an. Die sind weltweit führend und äusserst effektiv. Hab meinen nun 1 Jahr und bin begeistert. 100 W bei knapp über 1000 rpm und 4-stufige Ladekurve und meine Batterien sind in kürzester Zeit vollständig (100%) aufgeladen. Was mit normalen Lichtmaschinen (W-Ladekurve) gar nicht möglich ist.
