Kraken 50 - Engine Room with Dick Beaumont

This was the portion of the yacht I was most excited to see! I have a 50ft Hunter that is an absolute nightmare to work on - I have to tear apart my whole entire salon just to access it.
When I saw how easy everything was to access - I was truly jealous!!!!!!!
Not to mention the organization and layout. Maintenance - is ALWAYS a thing with boats, but this dedicated Engine room is the pinnacle selling factor in my opinion.

Great questions and insights both from Amanda and Dick. Thanks for the tour and explanations.

[@jaymacpherson8167]

I admire Dick’s straight forward answers as well as his vast knowledge of the gear with it’s raison d’etre.

[@rickirizarry5079]

Sensational access to a very important part of the boat.

[@abdulkkhan5095]

Fabulously done

[@Dan_C604]

This “freedom power” system would be just amazing in a circumnavigation boat, what an amazing feature to have if you are cruising around the world!

[@amandassailingadventure]

He has truly thought of everything, because he has run into the problem himself!

[@SOLDOZER]

Engine access is the #1 thing I look at on a boat.

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

Outstanding designed boat. Simply wish they were more afford for the Average sailor. Jim Rodgers

[@HandCo]

such a beautiful boat. Are there any red lights?

[@MickLay]

Too good!

[@johnsonbar5022]

I've played and replayed this video a lot, and I have no idea what these people are talking about ... except the lady... "OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD.

[@johnryan2193]

To change the impeller ? ?

[@FlyJFY]

Try motoring into 25 knots of wind on the nose. That 80hp engine will choke

[@dronurergun]

I would expect lots of built-in solar energy panels and batteries(enough to run all the electric devices for 3-4 days) instead of (or together with) a generator. Maybe then voltage management could be run through batteries instead of the "freedom power system" and diesel consumption could be reduced significantly

[@TheAegisClaw]

That freedom power system is for when you're hooked up to shore power.

[@GNLJshl69]

stop interrupting the guy. you don't need to prove you know something about boats and systems.

[@AA-69]

That man could sell recycled sandpaper to the Arabs....an the patient's to deal with Yanks 😖

[@Jazzoctet]

It seems that there are no sound absorbing materials in the engine room?!! If you compare the engine room of a Hallberg -Rassy at the same size and their sound absorbing materials you can see the difference.

[@tomriley5790]

Pretty sure it was mentioned in one of the other videos that there's lots of sound proofing. He described a "library effect".

[@SOLDOZER]

He's standing up in the engine room.

[@kodiak7]

It’s very well insulated. Watching sailing millennium falcon video it, they discuss the insulation.

[@georgeburns7251]

This vessel seems to have sound control material built in rather than glued on after construction.

[@icarium6031]

Who talks in gallons?

[@amandassailingadventure]

Americans.....hahaha

[@jackbarnes6929]

I don’t know how you keep your cool Dick, she talks over you, and he seems to be clueless.

[@georgeburns7251]

She seems to understand electrical systems pretty well. I don’t know about you.
