Jahazi: Installing the engine

Introduction

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea"
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

With that in mind one may think that anybody with a passion for the sea can build an ocean going yacht. But be warned! It is not something that can be taken lightly. It takes time and dedication.This project was started in 2004 with the purchase of plans for the Didi 34. Although almost finished, it is still ongoing.

Installing the engine

Now it was time to install the 3 cylinder diesel engine. This was easy without the cabin roof. The engine was lowered from the top into the hands of four men standing in the boat, who then maneuvered it into place onto the engine beds.
