Re: Stainless steel arch Canaries
Mohammad Shirloo
Thanks Kent. Trying hard not to affect the design and lines of the 54 with an Arch. Even though the stern is the most logical place for it. I think some of the new solar panels are less sensitive to shadow and multiple controllers, stratigcally connected, should produce better results. Still a work in progress.
Happy Sailing;

Hi Mohammad, I put 600W of hard panels on my arch, and 250W soft panels on my cockpit enclosure. The soft ones are mounted aft of the boom, but still contribute only 7% of my total solar charging experience. When at anchor I swing the boom off to the side, but still don't see significant output. There's almost always a shadow from a shroud or mast on one of the panels. I have both of the panels on the same controller, I would probably get better output if they were on separate controllers.
As currently configured, the soft panels aren't worth the money and effort. The hard panels on the arch are great.

Re: Stainless steel arch Canaries

Hi Paul;
Can you please share your experience with your installation on your bimini top? This is the location we are looking at for our solar panels, but are concerned about the shadow effect of the boom and sails on power generation. The following are relevant to our design and would appreciate some information about your installation:
We are trying to decide whether to go with a soft or hardtop for the panels. Any issues with your installation or anything you would do different? If you have some pictures, that would help.
Happy Sailing;

Andy,
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the group. You will find a wealth of information and help here from some very knowledgeable and like minded sailors.
I was given some very good advice when we first purchased our SM and that was to wait at least a year before making any changes to the original design/systems. We waited at least two years and I am glad we did.
Likewise I wanted to add solar when we purchased but I heeded the advice.
The waiting allowed us to evaluate whether we really wanted solar, determine what our normal energy needs were, and to see enough other Amel installations to know whether we wanted hard panels on an arch, the rails, etc or to go with flexible panels somewhere else.
We opted for flexible panels on our Bimini top.
I am so glad we waited as I now have a system that I am 100 percent happy with and one that is exceeding our expectations on power generation.

Re: Climma compressor turning off randomly
Mark & Debbie Mueller
Hi Billy,
When the unit shuts off does it restart automatically? If it is an automatic restart then some safety circuit within the unit is shutting the system down. I am not specifically familiar with this unit but there may have a temperature sensor clamped to the exterior of the raw water heat exchanger, this will shut the unit down if there is low raw water flow to prevent overheating of the system. Additionally, in many chiller systems there is a low flow detector in the chilled water portion of the unit. The idea is to prevent freezing of the chilled water in the heat exchanger should the chilled water pump fail. When the unit shuts down check to see if there is power at the main junction of the air-conditioning system. If not, trace the problem backwards to the power distribution panel. Also, give the system a very close visual inspection with a good light to look for anything out of the ordinary. With the main power off verify the electrical connectors are plugged in or screwed down properly. Is there a troubleshooting guide that provides clues to what the problem should be with this condition? I hope some of these ideas are useful, good luck with your problem. -- Mark Mueller Brass Ring A54

Re: Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
We recently purchased Minerva, Hull #135. It came with a small RIB that we store on the mizzen deck (no boomvang). We will be retrieving our PortaBote from California this winter. Stores nicely along the rail, about the same footprint as a large surfboard. Not the most attractive option but you will never loose it at the dingy dock.

Re: Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
I traded in our inflatable for a Portland Pudgy. She tows quite nicely, however on longer passages I do have to mount it on the foredeck. AS with the Maramu, the Sharki's stern tapers quite a bit and the aft deck is not quite big enough to stow the Pudgy there. So far I've been stowing it upside down. It makes it a bit harder to load and unload off the deck. I'm working on building a new cradle that would allow me to stow upright. One other option I'm thinking about are low profile dink davits made of carbon fiber [the mizzen boom overhangs transom]. The davits would help greatly on short passages and make it easier to move boat around in tight places and improve visibility. Does anyone know of an outfit that works with carbon fiber?

Re: Stainless steel arch Canaries
Congratulations again. You have found a very good SM. I hope that you and Antonija enjoy your years ahead. Fabricating an arch, especially one that you will want takes lots of experience. I am not sure if you will find what you are looking for in the Canaries. My recommendation is, in addition to soliciting 3rd party recommendations, is to have any fabricator in the Canaries supply you with photos of past projects and contact information for his client(s) for references. Fabricating and welding stainless steel is as much an "art" as it is a skill. Bill

Stainless steel arch Canaries
Andy Manikata
Hello everyone,
looks like we have closed the deal for our SM yesterday 😃 The boat is in Lanzarote at the moment. We want to have solar panels on an arch and I wonder if anyone knows someone who does proper stainless steel works somewhere on the Canaries. Thanks a lot Andy

Exactly, add the 900 watt low-pressure pump and you are at about 14 amps. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1 832-380-4970 | brouse@... 720 Winnie, Galveston Island, Texas 77550 www.AmelOwnersYachtSchool.com Yacht School Calendar: www.preparetocastoff.blogspot.com/p/calendar.html

Hi; The D150 HP pump is 2.2KW. So the pump itself consumes a bit below 10 Amps at 220V.

Re: Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
smiles bernard
Thanks James Thats great to know The rib looks like a real beauty agreed re visabiliy issues that a foredeck mounting would create - even with the inflatable stowed inverted fwd of the mast the vis is a bit rubbish - so yes good point I've previously built my nester and its been great for kids sailing and amazing to row.... but also a hassle to put together So wondering if to give up on a nester ...... or build a better one ;) the Chameleon design looks nice and has a proper centerboard vs my leeboard Hope all is well with you and yours M

We found a Ribeye 2.6 aluminum RIB that fits beautifully on the aft cabin top between the back of the mizzen mast and the mizzen traveller. The mizzen vang however does need to be detached to fit it. With one person aboard the dinghy will partially plane out with a Honda 2.3 hp 4 stroke. We have a Mercury 9.9 2 stroke that we want to try on the dinghy. We like the dinghy a lot, as it is stable and quite light. Personally I feel that a dinghy on the foredeck would restrict the forward view too much but if you want a larger dinghy there are not many other options.
