Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] New to group


Hello to all,

I am new to this group and am searching for some info on later model
Amels, 1995 and up.
I am looking for a new cruising/live aboard boat. My sailing experience
is from a Pearson Commander in the early 70's to an Andrews70 that I
just sold.
I am very impressed with the Amels and was wondering if anyone had some
info as to boat speed.
Are these boats capable of 200 miles a day under normal cruising? Are
there any inherent problems offshore with the boats, things that should
be addressed or rreplaced prior to taking off.
The propulsion systems seems to transfer a lot of power through
different angles, does this have it's own set of problems.
Thanking you all in advance for reading this and to those that will
take the time to respond.
Happy New Year to all.

Hi Golden Daze,

I have US gas bottles on my Maramu and I fill them regularily from Continental bottles. It's very simple to do, you can buy a fitting in almost any shop. BTW, no problems with refills in Greece and Azores.

Hi Horst

And a very happy New Year to you!

Great to hear from you.

In the event I came up solo and enjoyed every minute of it;
Nevis, St Kitts, St Barts and off course then on to here,St Martin.
Only thing is I have to get back down to Amel, Guadeloupe fast
- like by Tuesday, so someone to share the 24 hr watches would
be good. Just had a guy on the phone in response to my crew bar
Card; sadly either his phone or my phone is faulty as I could heare
Him but he couldn't hear me.

Yes, your idea of posting an itenery is a good one. Problemm is
I don't have one yet in terms of a timetable that is. But I
Guess I need to get one down, particularly the Pacific legs.

Delighted with the boat. Never given me a moments concern, and
We really did have some bad weather on the crossing as you will
have heard with two sinkings and many many breakages among the
well dispersed fleet.

What are your plans for this year?

I am home this Fridaynfor several weeks after leaving the boat
in Amel's care. If you are there perhaps we could get together
for lunch?

Keep in touch.

Frank

Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] fresh water pump and pressure



I am considering replacing the fresh water pump, accumulator tank,
and pressure switch on my ASM with one of the new variable speed pumps
from Jabsco that do not require a separate accumulator tank or
pressure switch. My current pump is the big 40 liter per minute (10.6
gallons per minute)AMFA A88B that delivers up to 29 psi (2.0 bars).
This is the optional pump intended to supply plenty of water to the
optional hose outlet under the helm seat. The pump and the pressure
switch have been giving me problems.

Jabsco has a new 29 liter per minute (7.5 gallons per minute)
variable speed pump,the Jabsco 7.5 VSD (part 41755-0094 for the 24 v
model) that probably delivers enough water for my needs as I almost
never use the hose outlet. It self-primes to 1.8 meters versus 5.5
meters for the AMFA A88B (and the ASM standard A66B), and can run dry.
It's pressure shut-off is 50 psi, which is significantly higher than
the 29 psi of the AMFA.

Has anyone had any experience with a variable speed pump before in
an Amel or any other vessel? Is the higher cutout pressure of 50 psi
a problem? It seems that 40 psi is quite common on smaller, switched
pumps. Shurflo has a variable speed pump, the Extreme Smart Sensor
5.7 that delivers 21.6 liters per minute with a shut-off pressure of
65 psi. I do not know why variable speed pumps have a higher shut-off
pressure or whether this is a concern in an ASM. Any enlightenment
would be appreciated.

Glad you fixed the problem OK and thanks for sharing

perfectly in mild temperatures, but once it gets
above about 33C, the
readout goes haywire then freezes. You can anchor
successfully and then
watch the chain counter slowly count down to zero
then go to negative
numbers over a period of time, so when you weigh
anchor, you don't know when
it is coming on board, though I do find that my
forward looking sonar set to
the 6M range does show the chain angle and the
anchor itself.

I really have not proved if the problem lies in the
counter sensor or the
instrument itself. Tests have been inconclusive. Has
anyone else had this
problem and can shed some light on where the fault
lies please?

Re: gasoline smell

Stephan Regulinski
 

Dear Hans-Joachim,

We stored our gasoline jerry cans in the safety locker. This isolated
them from the cabin, environmental exposure, and all electrical systems
(which reduces the explosion hazard). This solution is not perfect,
because the safety locker is not vented overboard. However, all Amel
lockers suffer from this problem except the camping gaz locker which
does have a vent at the bottom.

The alternative solution is to store on board but to sew up covers with
some material like "Sunbrella" which offers some protection from solar
degradation of the plastic.

A proper vented gasoline locker would be a welcome addition to any boat.
But then, so would a proper solution of the four major storage problems
of every long-distance cruiser: (1) gasoline ; (2) trash ; (3) shoes;
and (4) dinghy plus engine.

Fair winds and following seas,

Stephan G. Regulinski

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Oil Change or addition for Mango furler gearbox

Steve Leeds
 

Hi Alan,

AMEL recommends silicon high temperature grease which they sell at high
cost. I have used a Castrol very heavy grease in the past which was OK
but have found Alvenia (I hope that spelling is right) a pourable low
temperature grease to be better. I think it is made by Shell. It is
not expensive and fills both the upper chamber (accessed through the
rectangular side plate) and the lower chamber (accessed through the round
bottom plate). It can be topped off with a funnel through the top filler
hole. I don't think it is advisable to mix different types of
grease.

bottle on the bottle end and have the US fitting on the other for
filling. When in the islands everywhere we filled had these fittings
(wish I had bought one then)but am having no luck here in No.

stay. I am at the Simpson bay marina.

The reason I asked is that I had dinner with my
usual crew in New York
City last night. One of my crew had an OPO posting
which I assumed was
yours looking for crew.

Fair Winds,

Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] gasoline smell



When we have to store a fuel tank of any kind in
the
aft locker we put in a heavy plastic the bag and
wire
tie it. That keeps the oders from the rest of the
boat.

We used C-map for eletronic charts in the Med.
they
worked very well.. We also made good use of the
Imray
Almanac for the Med. it cost a bit but has all the
ports.

The I-Com 802 with the Pactor III is about as good
as
it get for HF/SSB.

We found that we got good reception on the SSB in
the
Med at most times of the day.

Good luck. Richard and Joan SM 209

Re: Parts for Volvo TMD22P

Hello Tony,

Try Marine Parts Express,65 Dodge Road, Edgecomb, ME 04556. They carry
lots of Volvo parts. I got timing belt and new tach from them last
year, much cheaper than other sources. Go to:

Hello all,

We are in Wilmington, NC with WORLD CITIZEN and are planning to do a
bunch of "nickle / dime" maintenance items. (Read that as a thousand

Can anyone recommend a company that has a good inventory of Volvo
TMD22P parts?

Thank you for your help,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Compressor and the Best Method of Shipping to the USV...

svbebe <yahoogroups@...>
 

Hello David,

Send an email to Connections (connections "at" islands.vi) and ask
them what is involved...you may have to fill out a UP Postal Service
(USPS) form and fax them back to Connections for them to act as your
agent...I am not sure if there is a requirement like this for UPS or
FedEx, however keep in mind UPS and/or FedEx is 4 to 5 times more than
USPS.

Let me know if you have any problems because I have/had an account
with Connections and possibly you could ship the item to me at
Connections and allow you to pick it up for me. They charge $5.00 USD
per package for their service.

Best,

Bill Rouse

PS contact me off-line at brouse at gmail.com


would accept a Milwaukee 0721-21 V28 28 Volt Right
Angle Drill Kit which has to be bought in the USA as you cant get
them in the
UK.? Sending it to the UK and then taking it back to the BVI's is
going to
be a real PITA not even, thinking about the tax issues getting it
into the UK
and then the BVI's. Also we need to pay a visit to St John at
Easter as some
boat guests dont have a US visa and we want to go to the USVI's for
sure St
Thomas and also probably over to St Croix so the easy way for them
to get
legally into the USVI's is the ferry from West End to Cruz Bay.

Thanks and have a wonderful and happy 2008
