Jay, Mike Sweeney, an Amel owner and a member of this group, is in Grenada...and he looked at this boat before he bought his Amel Maramu a few months ago. I asked Mike to email you directly. I do not

Hi Jay, Having recently purchased a Mango….. #70, I would be happy to discuss your survey with you. Kind Regards Peter “Gradiva” #70 Raymond Island. Victoria Australia -- Peter Buckley 83

Jay, Yahoo strips off attachments, so nobody received it. If I were you I would get a dropbox account, upload the survey, then share the link to the survey. Best, Bill BeBe 387

Hi Amel Owners I figured I would send out my survey on a Mango I am closing on and get your thoughts. I won't cloud judgement with my refit plans. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Happy Turkey

Duane, Next time you are in a sandy or stoney anchorage, flake your chain across the bottom a couple of times and it will come back clean as a whistle. Another little tip for when your are

Kent, I wasn't sure how quickly the Zn would react with the HCL either. Our chain has a zinc anode near the anchor, so to check I put that in first and let it soak for 10 minutes. The zinc appeared

Hi Duane, How long had it been since you inspected it? Once it has some rust on it, I'd be considering having it regalvanized. If it's rusted, the zinc galvanizing is gone in that area. I don't know

I would caution everyone to be careful handling muratic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid. The fumes can do series lung damage. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (fuming hydrochloric acid) forms

Duane, Had you thought of having your chain re-galvanized. I had mine done and it looks like new. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

We're still working on our new-to-us boat, and since we're here for the week I decided it was time to have a look at the anchor chain. Peg and I lowered it to the dock after disconnecting the anchor.

Hi and welcome aboard! I had my standing rigging replaced when the boat was 12 years old, in anticipation of crossing oceans. The rigging looked good, with only a little rust color at the top of the

Congrats on your purchase. We hope to see you out there one day. Regarding the rigging. This is big expense. We just replaced our 15 year old rigging this year. Our thought process being that if

Hi Eamonn Just to give some info on my experience with anchors and outboard engines this year in Sicily and Croatia. As to anchors, The CQR worked fine in the mud at Siracusa, Sicily and that was
