See page 4,968 of the owners manual :)……a mechanical engineers dreamboat. Can imagine the spare parts list.
What a beautiful ship, a true world voyaging motor sailor.
I really hope there’s going to be more films made of her interior layout, as well as on deck.
As so few of us can afford to own,or maintain a vessel of her stature, it is a real treat to be taken aboard and shown what is possible to fit in a relatively confined space.

That is an incredible boat! They seem to have thought out everything in that Engine/Systems room. Perhaps it just wasn’t mentioned but with that energy invested in those systems I’m surprised there were still so many manual switching set ups. I would think you’d want as much as possible to be automatic.

Nice system !

I remember seeing Ocean Pearl cruising Nantucket Sound from time to time in the early sixties. Here’s a video of her return there a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86oXCycMk5U&feature=youtu.be
I wonder if the new engine room arrangement has forced air ventilation.
