Náttfari geared up
The gearbox of Náttfari was hauled out and transported to the workshop for revision.
This gearbox certainly has served its purpose since the boat was launched in 1965 and is still in good condition, even after 45 years of use.
Overhaul of gearboxes in boats are quite common and usually the gearboxes have a longer life expectancy than the engines themselves.
3 engineers examined the gearbox and after careful inspection we were given the go ahead of re-use.
