Andy, Happy New Year to you too. As for stowage... beer in the fridge, wine and champagne under the floor, grand marnier, malt whisky and cocnac under the saloon table, blender for mango daiquiris

Insert bottles of wine into old socks and store them under the floor. Cheers Barry & Robyn Tradewinds III sm 171

Hi Andy,   More important than where you stow things is recording where you stowed them.  We created an Excel spreadsheet with what we thought was sufficient detail but later found that you can't

Hi Maramu owners, Happy New Year to all !! We are currently in the process of planning to move aboard. However the downside with so much stowage space are the multitude of possibilities. We would

Dave, The length of the mizzen boom on the Sharki does not allow for a stern mounted arch or pole but I agree with you that it is the best place to mount solar panels if practical. I am not familiar

Mauro, We have our solar panels mounted in similar fashion. We plan to relocate them to a stern pole. The problem with rail mount is you often have one shaded.

Hi Graham, Happy New year to you. I own an Euros 41, but i'd like to use your ideas for the installation of the side solar panels and of the linear autopilot unit. I'm in need of replacing my rotary

Thanks much Anne and John. I had a look at the pictures and congratulate you on the conversion and the other upgrades you did. Your aft bunk certainly seems to do the trick both at anchor and

Hi John, this is a pretty wide open question. All the Pacific Islands are worth a visit, from the tiny uninhabited to the larger more "developed". We had the advantage of coming in from the Pacific

I am hoping next year to do a trip from Far North Queensland to New South Wales then New Zealand to Pacific Islands and back home via Vanuatu. I have obviously been doing my own research but would

Hello Ian, When we took delivery of our SM No 319 in Jan 2001 we had the same problem and in the event it was solved with a bit of DIY. Have a look at the photos section from back in about 2003 under

I am buying a pre-2001 Super Maramu. The aft cabin double bunk on port is about 190 cm in length. I am 193 cm tall so this creates a bit of a problem. My wife and I will have sleep somewhat on a
