55' Amel
I am interested in hearing reports from owners of the Amel 55' versus the SM 53' which I have previously owned from 2001 to 2014 SM #347 Sulajon, I am interested in any quirks that seem to be common

Air transportation of COPPERCOAT
Hi,
We need to bring some Coppercoat kits in our forthcoming flight from Italy to Central America. I've been told that the material, of course as hold luggage, may suffer for a long trip at low

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Instal AC / Genset on Santorin
According to a German marine friend of mine, a Panda is like buying headaches.
No one needs them.

Re: Instal AC / Genset on Santorin
Sorry, the message was no complete.
We use the AC to the washing machine, oven,battery recharge and all small appliances. Really very convenient. Good wind.

Re: Instal AC / Genset on Santorin
Good morning Trevor. A Fischer Panda genny (4KVA) is installed in EARENDIL over 10 years. It has direct cooling (sea water) and this creates some problems. Try to put one with heat exchanger.

No AC but I did consider the genset. In the end the cost and upkeep put me off. I bought a 2000 watt petrol generator instead. It runs the mains battery charger if I need it and any mains

Instal AC / Genset on Santorin
Hello all,
Has any of the SN owners ever installed an AC and Genset?
Just looking to see what others have done in the last and possibly gain some lessons learnt by others.
Thanks heaps.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] companionway door slot & hurricane Matthew
Duane,
The water you found does not drain into the engine room. If water gets into the compartment under the companionway, you have to pump it out, or suck it out with a wet vac.

Glad it worked,
You might also invest in the purple cobalt drills from McMaster Carr they are made especially for drilling stainless. They are not inexpensive but I keep them on board when all

companionway door slot & hurricane Matthew
After hurricane Mathew we noticed that the companionway door slot had a substantial amount of water in it. I poked around with a wire and was unable to find a drain hole. Can someone tell me where

Eric,
Another success for your dam technique! Thanks for the suggestion.
I had a 5mm machine screw that I had almost given up on getting out in one piece. Not only was it a stainless screw corroded

SM2k A/C drain clogged
This is a "heads-up" to SM2k owners.
BeBe #387 had the condensation drain clog up for the Salon AC. I did not notice it until about 10 gallons of water was found in the area under the aft settee

Thanks for sharing what looks to be a great improvement to the system on our older Amels. I'll add this one to my project list.

Bill, Thanks for your input, and see your point about fouling a submersible . I was thinking that as well and was only wondered out loud if anyone had tried it with success. We stopped by your boat
