I sailed her in April---WOW !!!
There are down wind poles now set at the base of the mast. (I believe they are optional) you also get a Gennaker (optional?). You can get an electric passerelle-but the fold down ladder and platform seems great for most locations.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] sail replacement
Randy Kilmon <drifter01us@...>
Hi Mike,
I got two quotes from sailmakers in Annaplois (North, and Doyle). Both were similar in price -- slightly over $7k for the three sails. I also just read your e-mail re splitting the difference between $390 and $425. It has merit and I'll get back to you on it asap. On a related subject, we're leaving tomorrow morning for Baltimore so will have to communicate on our cell (410) 375-8971 Thanks, Randy --- mike ondra <mondra@ptd.net> wrote: Looking for approx. cost and suppliers for a new __________________________________ Yahoo!

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Stained Sails
Randy Kilmon <drifter01us@...>
Hi Mike,
We got all the way home by 6:00 P.M. last night (Suday), having left Annapolis by 6:45 A.M. Neither of my computers seems to be working this morning, so I'm in the public library dealing with 197 e-mails! I have not yet opened yor message containing the survey results. However, with respect to these two questions: 1) "Drifter" is definitely a SM 2000. It is printed in large letters on the either side of the aft part of the hull. I don't know when they eliminated the thru-hull fittings for the heads. 2) I really think you need completely new sails for the geneoa, main and mizzen. The old ones are serviceable but -- as you observed -- they don't look as good as they should. Later today, I'll try to get some quotes on a new set. I did call my friends in Ft. Lauderdale, who I thought had bought sails from a loft in Hong Kong. However, they said they had bought only a jenny and that was through Doyle Sails in Ft. L. They thought the price was slightly less than $2900. However, that was two years ago. Anyhow, I want everything to be as satisfactory as possible and I'm willing to make a price concession for new sails. More, as soon as I've read the survey rept. Greatly enjoyed meeting your and Tom's wife; also, Ted, who seems like an extremely superior young man.

Stained Sails
mike ondra <mondra@...>
We are in the process of purchasing a 1999 SM, hull #240. The seller
believes it to be an SM2000, yet it has through hulls for each of the heads. We were under the impression that the 2000 went to a single through hull for seawater intake. Does anyone know at which hull # the shift to the 2000 was made? What other changes were implemented between the SM and the SM2000? (Perhaps there is a website that identifies the changes) Also, the sails show a lot of mildew/mold staining. Other boats I have owned, with flaked sails when not it use, have not had this problem at 10 or 15 years old. It would seem logical that tight in-mast furling could retain significantly more moisture than a flaked sail and support more life forms. Have others experienced similar problems on relatively new sails with in-mast furling? Interestingly the problem is just as severe with the genoa, which rolls up no differently than any other furling jib I have owned without experiencing the problem. Mike

Re: Noisy outhaul drive on main boom

The problem is the main shaft of the gear box, wich is of mild steel.
This shaft rust and the water sips in the gear box.

I'm a 53yr old retired fairly poor Brit, married to a Californian lady who has decided she likes sailing. (We bought a house on a canal down in Florida and a little Hunter 30 to try her out). I have been sailing since teens. I have been admiring SMs from afar for the last 2 years with a view to selling up and living aboard for my last few active years. I'm just about to start looking seriously for a used SM and have of course seen the 54 which looks rather tasty in the video, How much is it / will it be? Any ideas how fast they build them? I saw reference to a waiting list already. Probably completely out of my budget, especially as most of my funds are in USD, but I'm curious. ------------------------ Yahoo!
