Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Amel Santorin overview

I apologize for my short comment earlier. I think the sloop is an error but the ketch is a balanced and solid Amel vessel. I’ve seen some fine examples! Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera, Amel

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Predict wind program

Use passageweather.com with my Iridium phone and it's compressed files download in a few minutes. If I get a 3-day forecast it costs about $7 U.S. in air time. Kent SM243 Kristy

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Predict wind program

I have not tried this specific combo. We are not big fans of data over Iridium (until they move to the new satellites, if ever). It is very slow. It may be better with compression software.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Quality Marine Surveyor New York City area (that knows Amel) - wanted

Roy , I do not think there is a surveyor in Ny that knows Amels. However I have had dave do work for me in the past and he was very thorough. I have known him for about 20 years.

Re: Amel Santorin overview

Elmer, The ketch is regarded as being a lttle more balanced than the sloop as the main mast is in the same position. Sloops can be a little cheaper and supposedly harder to sell but that may mean

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Amel Santorin overview

I have an Amel Santorin #84 (1993) “Sisila", now in Rhodes Marina, Greece, and I steered to it, rather than SM, because we planned (my wife and myself) cruising mostly in the Med, even if Santorin

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Amel Santorin overview

I’ve seen a sloop Santorin up close and my opinion is… don’t do it. Too much a compromise on the Amel philosophy. Welcome aboard JEAN-PIERRE GERMAIN, SY Eleuthera, SM 007 Jean-Pierre

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: SM Mast Wiring, Instruments and NMEA

I believe #19 was wired to 24VDC when BeBe #387 was built because one of the functions of the FFD is battery voltage and I assume that is the reason for this connection. Regarding your problem. Tinley
