Arona and crew brought Simone the Perkins Diesel engine back home to Galopin via the beach and dinghy. He installed it just enough for us to go a give it a feel. Simone purred and we gloated.

Welcome to Season 7 of Winded Voyage. This is sailing Africa. And it starts by doing big time maintenance on my dear Galopin. Most notably the Perkins 4108 engine. We sailed here from Cabo Verde when the engine was showing it's aches and pains. So as soon as we anchored I asked master mechanic ...

Sailboat refit COST! (How much did we spend?)
Bringing this Amel Super Maramu (one of the greatest blue water cruisers built in the 90's and 00's) back to life after a huge accident with a container ship has been nothing short of a crazy roller coster. This we look into the cost of it all and figure out if we have made a good investme...
FINALLY WE”RE LEAVING THIS MARINA … or are we
Finally after 18 months in the marina we are departing to get back into cruising life. Yes we've worked ourselves hard, sweated it out and lost a lot of sleep to not only the boat but our twin babies as well. This week we are kissing our problems good buy with the horizon as our destination.......
Just call us CRUISERS AGAIN
Yes, after 18 months, newly born twin babies, and a whole lot of sweating and swearwords we have finally made it out onto the water under our own propulsion and MAN does it feel good. Finally having a running engine last week, this week we are eager to start testing it out to discover if there are a...
OUR LAST JOB IS COMPLETE!
To be perfectly honest we haven't much enjoyed our time on the hard, sweating it out in the middle of the tropics, fixing up a broken boat with baby twins requiring huge amounts of our attention. I guess thats why this week we are soooo super stoked to finally see our engine working! Yes, it�...
These moments have us EXCITED!
Another week and we're splashed well and truly hopefully for the last time in a long while. We assess the common leak that has been annoying us for so long and the engine in finally being finished (kind of). Join the crew Our patrons are the ones that make this all possible and without them,...
Uncontrolled launching (NO ENGINE!) Yikes!
Another week in the yard and another ground hog day hahaha. No I'm sure you've heard us say this before but we can't wait to get out of here and getting launched in the water (for a second time) is a huge step towards this. With the manager coming in on a Sunday to drop us in we hadn&...
This LEAK has us HAULED OUT again
Yep, you heard that right, after 12 months on the hard and one month in the water we are getting hauled out again! Kieran's frustration really comes out when an experienced shipright insstructs him to replace the whole stuffing box, a job that would take a number of months. Join the crew Our...
We’ve got a LEAK! WHAT NOW?!
Toilets jobs, leaking sailing boat and hot humid Malaysian heat, does it get any better I ask you!? Yes diving head first into a constant "head" (or toilet) issue we've been facing for a couple weeks its surprisingly not that fun... After launching some three weeks ago we noticed a le...

NEWLY REBUILT ENGINE GOING IN!
After 12 months rebuilding our Perkins M80-t engine we're happy to say that most of it is being dropped in the vessel this week. When I say most of it the mechanic has found an issue with the head which requires further repair. On top of the fantastic engine job we also have a water leak and to...
FUEL FOR THOUGHT: How to Remove, Fix, and Re-install an Auxiliary Fuel Tank (The Hobbit Hole Part 1)
After spending an unexpected and extended amount of time fixing the hull-to-deck join, bulwark, scuppers and caprail, it’s been nice to move back inside Brilliant II to continue the interior refit. Next on the list has been our “Hobbit Hole”, or as it’s known to the folks outside Middle Earth, the...![REINSTALLING our old engine! | BEST generator HACK ever!

REINSTALLING our old engine! | BEST generator HACK ever! [Ep129 RED SEAS]
We re-install our rusty, old generator because we need better redundancy to power our sailboat when our solar panels just aren't enough. We think we've come up with a sneaky trick to give our generators super powers while we're at it so that it will output dual voltages - both 110V AN...![ENGINE REFIT: was it worth it?

ENGINE REFIT: was it worth it? [LIVE Q&A] [RED SEAS]
We sailed across the Pacific Ocean last year and one of our engines blew up along the way. We thought that meant game over for us but you, our viewers and supporters, came to our rescue and we replaced both our old Yanmar engines with two brand new Nanni N4.50s. We did all the work ourselves without...![FIRST SAIL: crossing the channel with our NEW NANNI ENGINES (sea trial) [Ep128 RED SEAS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/kw4dGHpaCBY/mqdefault.webp)
FIRST SAIL: crossing the channel with our NEW NANNI ENGINES (sea trial) [Ep128 RED SEAS]
We take our new Nanni engines out for their first sail as we cross the channel from Tahiti to Moo'rea for our sea trial. The sense of freedom that we have now that we are on the move again is unreal and we are so excited to get back to sailing and exploring in this part of the world. We finish ...![Can we FIX THIS?

Can we FIX THIS? Installing TWO engines (in a storm!) [Ep125 RED SEAS]
We've installed the two new engines on our boat but now comes the most important part - and if we get it wrong, we're screwed! We need to install our raised engine beds (that we fiberglassed ourselves in last week's video) and then figure out how to align the new engines to the prop s...![Two new engines, ONE BIG PROBLEM!

Two new engines, ONE BIG PROBLEM! [Ep124 RED SEAS]
We installed a brand new Nanni engine in our boat but it doesn't fit in the space so we need to make new engine beds out of wood and fiberglass to raise it by 5cm so that it will align to our prop shaft. As there's a cyclone headed our way, we decided to get to work on the second engine so...![NANNI: the FIX to all our YANMAR PROBLEMS!

NANNI: the FIX to all our YANMAR PROBLEMS! [Ep123 RED SEAS]
We are replacing our old Yanmar engines with two brand new Nanni N4.50s. After a battle with customs in Tahiti, the new engines finally arrive on the dock and we are so excited to unbox them. We use a chain hoist on our boom to lift one engine onto our boat and luckily it fits through the hatch! The...
It’s a tight fit!!! – Getting a Yanmar 4JH110 diesel engine into our 50-foot sailboat | AHOD 22
Hey all! Last time we started our biggest project yet, repowering our 40-year-old, Gulfstar 50 sailboat. The old Perkins that powered Magic Dragon had seen better days and it was time to move on. Well, this week, our new-to-us engine (a Yanmar 4JH110) arrived. Will it fit into the boat?!? Much...
