Amazing Grace is driven by twin four-bladed, 8 feet diameter bronze alloy propellers.

The 90 feet long propeller shafts are coupled directly to the British Polar diesel engines.

The two seven-cylinder direct injection two-stroke main engines are each rated at 985 brake horsepower at a 220 rpm normal cruising speed.

Each engine's cylinders are 13 inches in diameter and have a stroke of 22 inches. With both engines at normal cruising speed, fuel consumption is 83 gallons per hour.

Fuel storage capacity in the double bottom tanks is 240 tons (74,000 U.S. gallons), or enough for 7,000 miles at cruise speed.

In her one-month round trip Amazing Grace uses about 95 tons of fuel and she off-loads approximately 100 tons to the other Windjammer ships.

Two large electrically driven air compressors supply the 350 psi pressure required to start the main engines.

All shipboard electrical power requirements are satisfied by three large heavy duty power units rated at 400, 475 and 500 KW respectively. One runs constantly while the other two remain on standby. Each of them are six-cylinder, turbo-charged, Lister-Blackstone generator units which supply raw alternating current at 220 volts. Step-down transformers are used to supply 110 volts for passenger and utility needs.

The reverse osmosis water makers in the Engine Room can produce up to 5,000 gallons of fresh water per day. The water storage tanks have a capacity of 150 tons (53,000 U.S. gallons).

The Engine Room also houses a number of service and utility pumps which include the fire and bilge pumps, general utility pumps, sanitary water pumps and the main engine oil pumps.
