We will be in Gouvia marina. Nicky is only flying to Corfu and figuring the time required to complete the work that we have laid out for him. If you think you will need some work done, it would be best to contact Nicky directly so he can figure the time required for the items you have also and book his flights accordingly. This is high season for him and he is very busy so the sooner you can let him know, the better.

Hi Mohammed,

We will be in Corfu around this time.

Which marina are you going to be in?

Not sure if I need anything but might think of something that should be checked. I do need to replace my mast pad which I have onboard. Still waiting on AMEL Hyeres for my new 10mm bow furler stem connection, my boat was one the few installed with the 6mm furler stem.

Hi Bill; i don’t know if I mistyped or if it was Iphone. Nicky.

Nicky is trying to setup to be in Corfu June 24-26 to work on our rig, if any one is in need of any work.

"Nicky" from Malta is what you meant to say. I always recommend Nicky Samut in Malta for any Med rigging issues. I suspect that Nicky has a lot of air miles. During the winter season he will be in Sicily at least 2 weeks working on rigging. He has also upgraded Bamar furlers. And, Nicky is a Yacht School Preferred Vendor, the only rigger in Europe selected as a rigging Preferred Vendor.

Contact: nickysail"at"hotmail.com. BTW, Nicky has sailed/crewed on most all Amel models, including a 64.

I had a few cracked wires at the main too (#117). I reported this fact to ACMO in november 2018. 

  Would you care to tell when you informed ACMO about this failure? Was it last year? 

Thank you for you input.

Hello Porter;

I hope you guys are doing well and the engine issues are now behind you.

We are replacing all 6 shrouds at the main because ACMO had a crack in one of the original long shrouds that we found in our rig inspection last year.

They did extend a 10% discount because of this so the total shipped to Corfu was 5000 euros.

Off course you only need to upgrade the mid and lower shrouds so your pricing will be less. I did receive a complete quote for all rigging that I will forward to you shortly.

I, like you, try to do everything I can myself, which is about 90%. It’s better to make a mistake and learn while help is available. However, the cruising season in the Med is short so I do elect to use known outside people if necessary so we get to enjoy the season.

The rigging is definitely one of them, at this point, for us. So I’m flying Ricky from Malta to Corfu for 2 days to take care of the shrouds and some lighting and wind cane issues.

Enjoy Tahiti. We chartered there in 2008 and had a great time.
