Starting the Engine After 15+ Years [2.04]

Описание: The time has come for us to make a first attempt to start the engine, after it has been standing for quite some time.
We also make sure to cover some of the leakages in the deck a bit better and also try to start the hydraulic unit which controls some systems on the boat.

We are Thomas and Petra and late August 2020 we left Sweden to start our first sailing adventure. We sailed for a year to the Caribbean and back again. October 2023 we bought a new sailboat, a Wasa 530 that is need of some renovation.

On our channel you will be able to follow our process - from buying a sailboat that has been standing for 10+ years and turning her into a perfect blue water cruiser!
Our plan going forward is to post a new video bi-weekly on Saturdays.
