Summary of Mechanical Condition

 

It is very difficult to convey the condition of a boat.  The reality is that there are always things not working, things not working correctly, and things working but you have to keep an eye on them.  Most yachts sit most of the time in a marina – and what is not used will be broken when you start to get under way.

 

MS Haganes is not like most yachts.  She does not sit in a marina.  Systems are working all the time.  They are heavy duty industrial systems, not the yacht systems which seem to break much too often.

 

Hand on heart, I know of no major boat system which needs repair in the foreseeable future.  Are there things not working?……yes.  One of the radar units is not functioning and should be replaced.  One of the shower drains is plugged and needs my attention. One of the heads (toilet) needs a new float.  But the heart of the vessel – the hull, superstructure, main engine, drive train, prop are sound.  Even the two gensets which provide power have less than 1000 hours on them.

 

Other captains have told me that the only way to break this ship's main engine is to put a bullet in it.  You would be hard pressed to find another 4 cylinder engine with less moving parts – no valves and no cam.  Air start.  The engine assembly weighs 14 tons yet produces only 280 hp at 370 rpm.  No smoke.  The engine was manufactured in 1964 but parts are still available from the original manufacturer (MAN B&W). And yet the cruising fuel consumption is less than 30 liters per hour at almost 8 knots - better than a Nordhaven 46.

 

Yes, the ship may be 100 years old but it has been used constantly.  As things broke, they were fixed or replaced.  No mechanical component in the vessel is older than 1964, and I am not aware of any component which parts cannot be obtained if necessary. 

 

The percentage of time spent on mechanical repair is significantly less than any other yacht with comparable systems. Why?  They are heavier duty which translates into significantly longer life; and un-cramped conditions allows fast resolution of maintenance or repair issues.  Further, you do not have to soil and uproot the accommodation space to work on the systems because they have their separate spaces'

 

This vessel’s systems are simple.  No electronics.  No integrated systems.  The main engine is air start.  There are many ways to build air pressure.  The engine starts easily.  Electrical systems are exposed and not buried in walls or floors or ceilings. The same is true with water systems.  Even the oil pressure gauge is hard plumbed.  If something breaks, you do not have to wait for an expert or a shipment of some proprietary part.  In most cases a visit to your local hardware store can solve your problem.

 

And you do not need to be a mechanical genius to operate this ship.  A basic understanding of mechanics and the ability to handle a wrench fixes most things.

 

Most systems have redundancy (e.g. more than one way to have the system operational), and includes systems such as electricity, water, sea water, bilges and sewage).  You are not inconvenienced if a system fails.

History of Haganes

 

The HAGANES has had many lives and many names.  She was built in 1907 as a whaling ship by Nyland Verksted in Oslo.  Her building number was 168.  She was delivered to her first owners H. Ellefsen in Mjoafjord, Iceland in March 1907 and named GUNNAR HAMUNDARSON.  In 1912 she was sold to New Zealand Whaling Co. LTD of Larvik, Norway and renamed WHANGAREI.  In 1918 she was taken over by CHR. Nielsen & Co. also in Larvik, Norway.  She was renamed KYA when she was sold to Statens Havnevesen of Oslo, Norway.

                   

In 1928 she was sold to CHR. Bjelland & Co. in Stavanger, Norway and renamed SMART.  Although she was offically listed as a fishing vessel, she was converted to a yacht for the chairman of "King Oscar" Sardines.  In the picture below, in Stavanger, she is the vessel in the far left of the photograph.  In 1938 as war was building in Europe, she was chartered by the Norwegian Navy and used as a watch boat.  In April of 1940, she was taken by the "DIE DEUTCHE KRIEGSMARINE" (Nazi Germany's Navy) and converted to a patrol boat.  It is understood she was refitted with a 2000 hp engine and had a top speed of 18 knots.  At the end of the war she was returned to her owners in Norway.

In 1947 she was sold to A/S Seilas (Johan Birkeland) of Bergen, Norway.  Her main engine was changed from 3 cylinder steam to a 12 cylinder 380 horsepower Paaxman Diesel. The current engine - a 280 horsepower MAN B & W Alpha was installed in 1964.  It is believed at this point she was converted to a coastal freighter whose basic shape and ship layout endures today.  From then until 2003 she had several owners with Gunnar Havsgaard operating the vessel beginning in 1975 for the next 25 years.  Gunnar renamed her HAGANES after the name of his town.  

                            

The manning laws in Norway changed and by the year 2000 Haganes required a crew of four.  Her economic viability died.  Between 1998 and 2003 she was literally up for sale continuously during this period.  Basically, no commercial use could be found.  No preservation societies stepped forward.  Haganes was deteriorating rapidly.  She was rescuredand returned to the beautiful girl she once was and she now lives a new life in the warm and clear waters of Southeast Asia and the Pacific.  She is loved and cared for by her owners wo have been navigating the world for fifteen years.
