We have a variety of fibers we can specify with load path sails and I wouldn't necessarily go with carbon/technora for a Super Maramu. Vectran is a possibility as well as a few others. We went with

Ullar, The Harken low beam track should work as it has some flexibility. I would check the Harken documentation available on their website and review the installation instructions.

Thanks. So, the client on the catamaran had positive feedback over about two years of use. What would you say the benefits of these carbon/technora sails might be on a Super Maramu vs. other cloth

Hi Dave, Thanks for information. The track on Euros is situated in aft end of the cockpit and is tilted slightly forward. If we can fix the new track on the old one the tilt will be automatically

There is a Maramu in Tauranga advertised for sale with an impressive interior refit, specifically the addition of a counter and modification of the table. We'd like to get in touch with the owner and

Yep all of the Amels require a very tightlt tensioned rig. There are some Potter posts that also talk about tightly tensioned deck stepped Amel masts. Regards Richard Piller Cell 603 767 5330

Crap aside you tap with a wood hammer handle. Regards Richard Piller Cell 603 767 5330

I'd like to think it was that easy...but unless you know what pitch they're listening for (and aren't tone deaf) this doesn't really help much. After I had my standing rigging changed, I took Kristy

When I picked up Kimberlite, I recall a rigger was tensioning the rig on the boat next to me. I believe it was the next boat to be delivered. He had a set of adjustable wrenches in his hand and after

I am of the opinion, thumping the shrouds with a rubber mallet as posted previously on this site to determine the tension is a load of crap. I downloaded a manual (and there are quite a few) on masts

Hi Paul thanks for the call regarding fore and aft stays. The fore stay must be tight so the can be no flex in the stay, the roll track, or the head sail tape. It must come up very tight. The aft

Richard, For the Maramu, which as you know is single spreader, do you advise that level of tension on aft lowers as well?

That was a few years ago when I wrote that post. Customer sold the boat last year but feedback was quite positive. That sail will be good for quite some time.

Hi all the stays need to be very tight. Using a wood hammer handle tap each stay if it has a sharp ring its good if "flat" it is not. When going to the wind the lee stays must not go slack. When

Does anyone know the rigging tension required for the SM model. Paul & Sue LaFrance SV NOMAD SM #362 Currently in St Marteen

Hello, And what has been your experience with the carbon/technora sails? Best,

Dear John, I emailed Brunton to enquire about this issue, their reply is below. I responded with  further queries and he responded that every Amel since 1999 had been fitted with the auto prop and

There seem to be a lot of Super Maramus out there with inner forestays. DO we assume that they are all as per the JFP modification ? ie just lashed to the cleat with no below deck support. Seems to

Ullar, It was a combination of factors. The original track did not appear to be through bolted. I suspect there is a strip of steel that was basically embedded, and then holes drilled and tapped to

Hi Jose, Nice to talk to fellow Euros owner. I guess there is no easy solution then. It would have been nice just to replace few parts and have it working. Still, a bit afraid of moving track to
