Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] New SM 2000
Anne-Sophie Schmitt <nearlynothing@...>
The SM is a wonderful boat, fast and able in almost
all sea conditions. I can't compare it to the Santorin, but compared to the Maramu it sails consistently faster--in fact from the moment you have 12-15 kts of wind the SM just seems to fix 8 kts or better boatspeed--and does not slow through waves. It does take a great deal more spray! But, there is one thing: I found the Gateff factory sails poorly cut, unacceptably so. I have had them re-cut, which is a temporary fix. This boat deserves really good sails and that will be next, probably Doyle, maybe North. I really like the way Doyle cuts sails, but in the past there were durability issues with Doyle inappropriate to a cruising boat. --- Krassopoulos Dimitris <dkra@pcsystems.gr> wrote: Dear All, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
