Fantastic on all levels, thank you for giving us a reminder of a gentler time - (very impressive backing back into the berth too!). Hopefully we can get a peek at your "shed-full" plus a few more short trips out on "Solfrid" too ! Well done!
Oh, what a beautiful sound and such memories. I lived for 17 years in Danmark, where I went and purchased a sail ship in Svendborg. The motor on my ship sounded a little different although it was the same design because it was a two cylinder. Delightful sound.
@@TheKetamineSquid I lived there for over seven years. I dearly love that town. When I left there, I moved across the sound to the village of. Troense on the Island of Tåsinge. I had an opholdstilladelse (that's like a Danish green card) and the address on my permit was simply "skibene" (the ships). I cherish the memories of the times, and the people that I knew there.
@@Napewastewinyou lucky bugger. i was looking at buying a house in Troense, but ended up buying a place in northern Langeland, which is where i am now. i often take my boat into Svendborg past Thurø and Troense, and i always slow down and just take in the wonderful houses and boats along the way. rural Denmark is a very special place.
Many years ago we bought a Baltic trader in Assens. It also had a two cylinder B&W Aplpha engine together with a variable pitch propellor, meaning the propellor always turned in the same direction in forward or reverse. The two cylinder engine Puckata - Puckata sound was wonderful and so relaxing to listen to. Marvelous simple machinery with little to go wrong.
So reminiscent of my grandfather's boat with its old Atlas I knew so well as a wee lad. That was in SE Alaska, and my grandfather came from east of Kristiansund, just up the coast from Molde. Thank you very much for this!
SE Alaska and Pacific NW is so beautiful. No wonder we Norwegians settled there. Floating timber, fishing the fjords and sea. Reminds us so much of home! Have a wonderful day!
Not really, anyone with hrs on their back can do that or atleast should be able to with a huge outboard or a small inboard engine. They all do the same to the boat as long as the guy behind the wheel is competent. It's like backing a car up. Do it enough and you have no problems for the most part.
This video came up on my RU-vid feed. Watching it and thought the boat and scenery looked familiar. Read the details and discovered its Molde Norway. My wife and I visited there last September from Canada. I remember walking past that boat and commenting to her how nice it looked. That’s quite the coincidence.
If i could leave more thumbs up I would. Remembering the sound of old boats now, whilst never knowing why they sounded different, I just thought it was because they were old. Love the low gearing. Reading up on hot bulb diesels now.
If only EV sounded so beautifuly... I have this hidden desire to own a boat like that some day. Probably not good for me, because I would easily fall asleep to that sound 😅😁👍
Really is a "tuned pipe" (which is a thing on two stroke racing engines) in this case as it creates a nice thump thump hollow sound. Very baritone at low RPM
👍👏👌 Simply fantastic! Very meditational/meditative sound. Thanks a lot for makingrecording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
Beautiful sound, reminds me when I was a child staying on my uncles farm and he had an old engine pumping water from a well up to a water tank. At night you could hear that old engine thumping away, sounded very much like this engine at slow speed.
Bellissimo. Mi sembra di sentire il nostro testa calda.gran motore bella barca tenuta veramente bene. Grazie capitano . Scusate per non conoscere la vostra lingua.
Awesome and nostalgic video. Fun to see Nordstjernen as well, I was on a private chartered cruise onboard Nordstjernen a couple of decades ago. Classic ship. Your Solfrid seems very well maintained! Lovely classic fishing vessel.
Great video - thanks for making it! Would love to see your morning start-up procedure and see that beast running. Best regards from Key West , Capt. Blackheart Charlie
Sounds like the old lister generator we had a power source when I grew up in the chatham islands me and my younger brother would start it up when mum an dad where still at work and open it right up .the house lights would go so bright.haha
You see that with start up from this 1 cilinder, he runs the wrong way, he killed it almost and it runs the good way... good video and i love this ship and engine.
