Can anyone share their experiences with the fuel injector pump (mine is a Bosch, I believe) on the "Volvo" TMD 22a. It appears mine is not achieving the approprate psi.

Thank you.

Hi Willem,

by adhesive I mean a contact glue. The type that you apply normally to both
surfaces, allow to dry for about 15 minutes then press together. A common
brand in the UK is called Bostik, though on Crusader I have a tin of
something else, but I forget its name. I guess they are all much the same.

I hope that helps.

Regards

Ian

Hello Ian,

I am interested in what you mean with 'adhesive' Is that 'glue' or another product? will you be so kind to mention me a brand?

Wille be much obliged!

Best winds,

No problem Bob. As you know,when you 'are out there' and things go wrong, you
have to improvise if you don't have the part, and the adhesive I found worked
very well.

Incidentally I have found the same problem with the main sheet traveller at
times. The rope seems to shrink and stretch with the climate and if you tighten
the rope too much, it can be tough to move the traveller when the rope shrinks.
So I keep it on the slack side and stop it slipping with a little adhesive. It
may help me keep sailing a few years longer!

All the best

Ian

Thanks to all for thoughts on outhaul problem. Ian, as always you
seem to cook up an alternative to the norm, I will try that, thanx

Dear All,

I had a similar problem in Greece. I bought a normal rope and it

was

extended by on meter ( 3 feet) after a few days of use. I ordered

from Amel

the original rope but it also extended slightly 15 cm after use

and I was

able to take the it in in order to tight the rope. The rope has

to be very

tight any slack will make the system useless.

John,

If you will look at your outhaul line, you will see it has been melted at
the ends. Kevlar does not melt. I originally thought mine was also Kevlar
and the jacket slipped over the core. I brought a piece to New England ropes
and they said it was closest to their endura braid. I have been using this
for over a season and it works fine.

Fair winds,

Eric

The outhaul line has to be kevlar. It is not readily available in most
places and the prudent yachtie will carry some against the time that it is
needed. Anything less will stretch and slip.

From experience one of the key factors is how you
attach the line to the car. I secure the outhaul end
(the end which is under tension when the sail is
out)with a knot - fisherman's bend is favourite
because it doesn't slip - and sew or whip the "loose"
end for extra security. I then take the weight on
that end so I have maximum slack to tie the other end.
You can't work a fisherman's bent tight enough so use
a round turn and two half hitches, pulling up as tight
as you can and whipping or sewing the end. I have
been amazed at how much a knot will give when load is
repeatedly applied and released.

Yes it is cutter-rigged. Tacking must be a fairly laborious exercise
as there is a baby stay too, so to tack one would have to furl and
unfurl both foresails. The Amel rep claimed this was easy - but I have
my doubts. I would have preferred a self-tacking staysail.

I guess most potential owners of the 54 will not be doing much upwind
sailing though...

Did you also notice that it is now cutter rigged? Now I'm wondering how
much trouble it would be to rig a solent stay on the SM2. Anyone know if
Amel offers a chainplate kit for such, or has anyone added one on their own?

Judy

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.

Fair winds,

Mike,

Peter Grimm at SuperSailmakers in Ft. Lauderdale has built many Amel
sails, including a Hood vectran mainsail for our Super Maramu. He's at
800-541-7601 or go to www.supersailmaker.com.

Looking for approx. cost and suppliers for a new suit of sails for

SM 2000.

Mike

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
