Re: prefered weather forcast
We also use predict wind with IGo, extreemly userfriendly and works well. The service they provide is second to none, but they give you up to four different models, I would have proffered thay they at least had a view wich they believe in,
An other source used by cruising friends for the region. Is by Chris Parker more personal touch, either via E mail or SSB. Paul on S/Y Kerpa SM#259 leaving Bahamas for Chesapeak Bay tomorrow

Re: prefered weather forcast
greatketch@...
I'm pretty sure that "consensus" is not something sailors do well!
My vote is for PredictWind. It works great on our IridumGo, they have a good routing feature, and, my favorite, a departure planning tool. That said, no single source is ever "good enough" for my weather planning. In addition to PrefictWind, I always look at the weatherfax for my region. These tools are not completely "digested". A fair amount of background is needed to evaluate the data and get all you can out of them. If I have internet connection in port, I'll use many more. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Virgin Gorda, BVI

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Air conditioner
Bill, After rear and bow units shutdown, I threw all three breakers fairly quickly so perhaps saloon would have stopped as well if I had not acted quickly. But I should investigate. All is well now with a new March AC pump. Ben Ben and Gayle La Bella Vita SM #347 6S

We had similar symptoms when AC saltwater pump failed. Bow and aft units shut down and saloon ran with fan but no AC. Check to make sure you are pumping cooling saltwater (discharge is located port bow ). Ben and Gayle La Bella Vita SM #347 6S

Courtney,
I agree with Alen and I believe that Velos may be the best solution available today for Americans sailing across oceans. Write Velos at Insurance"at"velosgroup.co.uk and tell them that you have an Amel 54 which is one model newer than BeBe. They seem to love Amels.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Air conditioner

There could be many reasons for these two apparently unrelated events. I believe that it is likely that it could be as simple as the rocker switches or thermostat in the wrong positions, or a breaker turned off. Or, it could be more complicated.

You just purchased the boat and had the survey done by Olivier… so everything should be working. When did you last use your Air Conditioning? (and was it working) Are you pressing the “Diruptor” (breaker) on the 220 volt panel to allow the forward air conditioning to be powered? Did the Salo A/C blow cold air before (during the survey)? Could be as simple as the Capacitor. I wish you were closer, I would use my volt meter to test the resistance… I hope Bill and other can give you better feedback… Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Island Water World Marina, Sint Maarten, NA --------------------------------------------

Seeking an Amel Super Maramu
rettirc@...
Hi there, Do you know anyone living around Perth region, Western Australia with an Amel? We have done a lot of research to date and narrowed our search down to a Super Maramu, and one other vessel type. Before we post a seeking to buy advert we were hoping there might be a remote chance of a vessel being here to see before we launch our dream of blue water cruising with our young family. We are experienced sailors and very serious to purchase a vessel soon in the coming months........somewhere in the world. Would love to speak to someone local who would be interested to introduce us to this boat? Chris +61 (0)424 521 357

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bottom paint quantity for Amel Maramu
James Alton
Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Thank you for your guess on the quantity and for suggesting the Micron 77, I will look into that. My usage over the next 2 years will be only 3-4 months during the summer so perhaps the Micron Extra would be ok so long as it does not create other problems with flaking. Would you know anything about the paint (s) that Amel has been using over the last 4-5 years when the paint was bought for my boat? I am told that the last paint used was purchased from Amel and came in unmarked cans at least 4 years ago..maybe more. It would be nice to not have to prime the hull since the old paint is in really nice condition but I sure do not want to risk an adhesion issue. Best, James Alton SV Sueno, Maramu #220

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bottom paint quantity for Amel Maramu
Bill & Judy Rouse <yahoogroups@...>
James, I do not know the quantity for a Maramu. A SM or 54 is 20 liters for 2 coats plus a third coat at the waterline and leading edges, leaving 1-2 liters left over on a SM. I suspect that 3 each of the 5 liter cans will do what you want. Europe does not distribute Micron66, but they do distribute Micron77. Micron77 has an advantage over Micron66 in that it is OK for fresh or saltwater. Micron Extra is widely used in Europe. It is less costly than Micron77, but, of course, not as effective. The last I heard was that the EPA has not approved Micron77 for the USA...it has been waiting for approval about 8 years (no political statement intended). Micron77 is available in Martinique.

Bottom paint quantity for Amel Maramu
James Alton
Hello, I will be repainting the bottom of my Maramu for the first time this year so am unsure of the quantity required for 2 full coats. I am planning to use the Micron Extra since apparently the Micron 66 is not available in Italy where my boat is currently. The bottom by the way is very smooth and I will likely be applying over Primocon since I cannot positively pin down the paint currently on the boat. I am told that it was supplied by Amel and came unmarked. My broker says it is an International product but does not know which one. I am pretty sure that it is an ablative since it softened once launched and amazingly kept the bottom clean for 5 weeks last season despite having been out of the water for about 4 years. If anyone might know what was likely used, I could skip the primer. Thanks, James Alton SV Sueno, Maramu #220

Retrofit air conditioner in place of diesel heater on an old Maramu
Jacob Champness
Hi all. It's warming up here in St. Martin and it looks like we'll be spending storm season on the hard. I was wondering if anyone here had ever tried retrofitting a 12V A/C unit in the coaming locker of a Maramu in place of the old diesel heater. Of course, being on the hard, we won't be able to use a water-cooled unit. Thought? Thanks! Jacob Champness Lark, Maramu 202 St. Martin

I believe that there have been many modifications to that Mango. I seem to remember a late model Mango that had the zincs on the rudder like Santorins, SMs, 54s, 55s, and 64s. I am not sure of the position of early model Mangos. Hopefully a Mango owner can give you a clear answer for hull #60. The most important issue regarding the zincs and the bonding system is: does the zinc electrically connect with no resistance to the bonded items? Have you checked continuity between the zinc and the engine propellor shaft? What about inside the area of the rudder post/quadrant? Is there evidence of the bonding wire connecting to the rudder post or quadrant? This connection the the rudder post/quadrant is what you should see on the above mentioned models. Unrelated to your direct question, but significant because of the potential modifications on hull #60, is this: Is there a weep hole in the bottom (underneath) of the rudder?
