As Winter pushes forward our engine lies in wait until Spring where it will finally be relieved of its duties. As you can see from above, the old Volvo has seen its fair share of use and is no longer reliable. So what does that mean for our boat? If you know, let us know haha. A few options are replacing the Volvo with a new Beta engine that is smaller, lighter and very expensive or replace it with a less expensive engine that is reliable but from all accounts a whole lot of extra work. We could always just lose it all together and have a lighter boat with less mechanical problems -- people have sailed with no engine for hundreds of years after all.
