I had a great chat with Jose Alegria who was nice enough to give me feedback on his 55.
I am actively looking at several 55s in different parts of the world (travel is a challenge for an American from San Francisco).
Any of you would like to share their experience? This is a more complex Amel than the SM and I have heard stories of multiple mechanical and electrical repairs/failures leading to expensive bills. Of course there are various levels of experience in the group.
So I thought that best way is to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.
Thanks a lot!
PS: I sailed my first Amel 40 years ago but then drifted into racing for many years :-(
