A slow-running engine & a large-diameter variable pitch propeller. There may well be a cone-clutch to run auxiliaries that are driven by the engine. Battery charging will be one. Charging the air bottles will be the other.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
This video came up on my UA-cam 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.
....whenever I am having an indifferent day, I play this video to cheer me up and remind me that the world is still full of cool and simple things. thank you so much Parjei ! PS. Hopefully another trip out on Solfrid is on your "radar".............
As a kid I used to go out on a coupla Fishing boats.(crabbers) One 65ft with Wichmann 2 pot 2 str. one an 8LW Gardner. from Grimsby (3 lads.) she did 11 knots. The Dane was a 70 ft beautiful Pitch Pine with Oak stringers and Ribs. Herring boat. Seasonal every yr., did around 7 or 8 knots. But Startup. You'd almost come on them. 3 second smoke rings for a couple minutes. slowly winding herself up. Gardner different. But smooth as. Once she cranked up from zero. dropping the decompressors in. We used to hand crank the Wichman on half turn of crank above the floor boards 2 men and a kid. On Compression stroke.3 persons. One rope and 3 knots where to hold it so no knuckle barking if you pulled back and met the winch. Beautiful old boats and GREAT seaboats too. On a bad North Sea 3 day Winter blow. I'd rather be on one of those than any Modern vessels, I ended up with a little 30ft Norwegian fishing boat myself after Army. With a single pot Hundestadt Hot pot donk. 30 yrs when I bought her. 45 when I passed her on. Same donk still chuffing away happily. I recaulked her below waterline about 8 or 9 times in those waters. Splined above water and epoxy to seal when she rolling They take in water by end of summer when timbers dry out above water when rolling. Pre spline. When seams would dry and putty drop out loosening the cotton. Great memory's. I learn't Cotton and Caulking on Middleton Beach when the local smaller fishing boats would be rollered up out of water each spring. Got quite good at it too. Cotton. Putty and Linseed. the heat up the TAR in drums and brush that on. We kids used to Chew the Tar chips when they oldies chipped it down to melt. It has a distinctive taste all of it's own. I can still taste it in my memory. Jesus. I was 12/14 then. 83 now. GREAT Memories. You young fella's don't know what you all missed.
Litt mere klargjøring og starte en sånn maskin, men lyden er det få som slår, Godt og se Ms Nordstjernen og, reiste med den fra Svolver- trondheim i 1990 en uforglemmelig tur.
Jepp 😊 You have to be determined and let the boat gain some speed so that you can steer. This boat have a big rudder and that is an advantage if you want to steer in reverse 😊
👍👏👌 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.
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.
Min pappa hade en skuta, Ester af Hönö med en 100hk Scandia ,en cylindrig tändkula , skorstenen heter "klongrör" ha d gott från Göteborg
Oh! This sound make me happy. Brings me back to my childhood when all fishing boats sounded like this. Also superb seamanship. Thank you 😀
Exactly my thoughts.
Strangely satisfying. 😅
Бля буду .звук шикарный
I get chills, in a good way, when I hear such an engine working. Reminds me of my childhood by the harbor on a warm summer evening. Lovely.
Beautiful boat and diesel, they knew how to build boats back then, craftmanship at its best!
There isn't a greater sound than a hot bulb engine, it is absolutely hypnotic...
I literally thought it was a soundtrack at first. I was waiting for the beat to drop! I've only ever heard one in ghe movies before. :)
The exhaust note is totally epic!
Lovely boat and engine and the man at the wheel knows how to handle it!
Hats off. That's sublime boat handling right there.
Damn! Sounds way better than my Harley-Davidson!
Beautifull ship and engine
Absolutely love the sound of a single cylinder boat engine just the pop pop pop pop sound love it ❤
for such an old boat, it really shifts when he revs it up! Respect !

I love the soft exhaust note of semi diesel engines. Much more organic sounding and less harsh than DI engines.
I love the sound this makes
That's a lovely boat and a beautiful engine, with some fine boat handling as well!
Hello, Harold.
Hi Dave! We've got to get some of these!
@@haroldmedalen6757 I've got a 42' motor sailer in Tacoma that needs repowering. I've looked at Volvos, a 4-71, but this really has me going!

Amazing little boat. Love seeing the Nordstjernen in the video as well. Both classic vessels.
Prop walked her in!
Interesting maneuvers on an interesting boat
That is soo awesome. I love this stuff. Just goes to show ya how people can make stuff with such amazing longevity...just not anytime recent.
I just love a boat with two pointy ends.
Nothing today can beat that beautiful

i could listen this sound hours over hours...
Lovely old sound to the diesel engine - reminded me of a trip I made in an old converted fishing boat back in 1967,
First time hearing that type of motor. It sounds awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Have a look at Lanz Bulldog tractors, they use hot bulb engines. Lots on utube.
@cliffordnicholls868 thanks I will :)
I love this relaxing sound.
She’s the little engine that could ❗️👍 What a great sound ! Love it
I could listen to to that engine all day
Brilliant reversing skills !

Musical engine.
I'm amazed how well she steers in reverse!
Yeah, I've run a boat that did not steer in reverse at all.
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.
I just love a classic boat... Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic, no additions, we love it.
This is a beautiful boat, the skipper can handle it very expertly & the diesel is like a lullaby to make you sleep to the music! ❤
ONE OF THE BEST SOUND IN THE WORLD.......................AMAZING
Awesome exhaust sound, the best I've heard!
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
Best vessel and captain on the seas. Excellent.
Nice boat, engine... and docking :-)
Wow, super enchanting. Wish I was around 100 years ago to just ride around on boats
That whole boat is a work of art. Simply majestic.
Wonderful, sounds like it go for another 100 years.
As long as you don't have to leave in a hurry, it sounds like a marvelous engine!
Such a beautiful sound.
Wow,that is amazing!Still working too.
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.
Great stuff, what a beautifully built boat, and motor 👍👍
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
Fasinerende å se han bakke inn mellom kaien og hurtigruten . Flott video.
I Norge var denne lyden selve symbolet på velstand!
when he backed in , he used the prop walk to his advantage , skillful skipper !
Imponerad av den backningen in tillbaka!
It takes some effort to manuver this beauty.
This is the way to do it
I love the sound of a low speed single its like the beat of a drum
Crykey! This guy knows his game! And Solfrid is a beautiful boat!
Absolute music! Beauty of a boat
I had a 1924 Union single cylinder in my old norske boat. Used to race and blow out the caulking.
sounds insane!
Vacker båt med vackert ljud❤
She’s fantastic fine handling Sir 👍

Man får rysningar på ryggen när man hör motorn.
Så vackert

kinda late but its not as much a coincidence as google would have you believe hehe, its scary the level of "coincidences" that happen these days
❤Music to my ears!!
Super cool! I was pretty sure that it doesn't have reverse but it indeed has.
All semidiesels in Norway was deliverd with variable pich propeller for superb manuverbility.
I suspect a tachometer is unnecessary..... lol! Love this.
I want one in my shed as a showpiece!
I have a shead full of them 😅 My neighbours are not as impressed as I am 😅🤷🏻♂️
Very nice video and lovely sound from the engine, thank you for posting
Oohh!!! just Super!!! That reluctant same tune over and over is heaven.
You can literally count the RPM anywhere in the range.
What a unique sound.
Interesting how it started in the opposite direction to run direction. What an amazing sound, absolute music to my rev-head ears!
The sound of my childhood 😍
The exhaust sound is amazing!
The boat and hot-bulb diesel are nice, but the most important thing is ignored - the propeller.
It seems to make pretty good linear motion per rev.
....whenever I am having an indifferent day, I play this video to cheer me up and remind me that the world is still full of cool and simple things. thank you so much Parjei ! PS. Hopefully another trip out on Solfrid is on your "radar".............
Back when boats had soul.
Would like to see more of the works 💪 😊
This is a beautiful sound.

The sound of my youth...
Mine too.

This may be the nicest video I've ever seen.
Perfect baritone.
That's so cool. I want to buy a boat just to have one of those engines. Love it.
Very nice engine, sounds real good 😇🙏🎣
Used with a big 2 blade vari pitch prop
Wonderful. That reversing technique must take some skill and judgement.
Jepp 😊 You have to be determined and let the boat gain some speed so that you can steer. This boat have a big rudder and that is an advantage if you want to steer in reverse 😊

beautiful ship, and the engine seems to make plenty of power :)
Even more relaxing then listening to my 4cyl 5.2 4x4 truck 🤩
To me this is *the* sound of summer.
Thats a big ass single cylinder.
