Cool, thanks, Bill. Kent

Jim, we have a portable Aircon (Seawater cooled) on our Santorin. It works very good, but the only time we used it was in South Italy in July (and we were really glad to have it – 40 degrees C

Steve, Congratulations! I am pretty sure that Super Sailmakers made a complete suit for Delos and their is a You tube video that shows the loft. I have had some contact with SSM and they told me

Dave, It is great to have a sailmaker and previous Maramu owner respond to my questions! Sueno has the double spreader Nirvana mast which is taller than the original single spreader spar. Except

Kent, Absolutely a sailmaker can add a foam luff to an existing sail. I did it myself to a jib on my old boat. I had a jib where instead of foam, a pocket was made with sailcloth and lengths of line

Welcome and congratulations, Steve! I hope we get to meet and swap stories over a beer/wine/rum some time. Fair winds and steady as she goes. Kent SM243 Kristy

Bill, or anyone, do you know if the foam luff can be added to an existing sail? I fit your description perfectly. "I see a lot of SM with new sails and the owner omitted this option, but complains

Hello Jim, Well, this is a forum, so everyone has his opinion, suggestion, etc. but the advices given to me were good and I want to share them. If you go to Europe, I am sure you heard of Olivier,

Alexandre, If come to Europe to get an Amel - then I will plan to be there for a season before crossing the Atlantic and I too would hope to be in the same port - I will certainly be in touch - and

Hello James, Always a pleasure to read your messages. I really hope we meet one day, but one of us, will have to cross the Atlantic! I also look at hundreds of boat over the last 20 years (I design

Ian and Linda, I really enjoyed reading your response and appreciated getting your input. Sueno has the Nirvana double spreader mast which might be the same rig as on your boat? If so, I was

You can replace the both seals inside the boat by putting a hose clamp around the tube removing the mounting screws at the top letting the bow thruster drop a few inches putting the new seals around

Alexandre, thanks so much for taking the time to reply - actually upon reflection - your advise with the fans is great, and more so - do not change anything for a good period of time. I missed out

Alexandre, I spent years looking at all kinds of boats.. and I consider myself to be pretty particular. What sold me on the Amel was inspecting the design and construction details in person. I

Bill, Thanks for the knowledgeable response on upgrading Sueno to the Super Maramu arrangement so that the ballooner halyard can be removed. I am about to also change the forestay so if I was

Hello Jim, First congratulations for having picked an Amel. I can not answer your question, but here is suggestion I was given when I purchased my Super Maramu. Don’t change anything for at least

Steven, Our ballooner is coming from Island Planet Sails, Dave Benjamin’s company. A good guy. In a previous life we were co-workers. I do wish we had it on the way down over the last few days, it

Hi all, Last week we became the new caretakers of SM2K #380. She was originally named Feria and then Lady T, and is now Tourai. Like a few others here, we are looking at new sails and will meet next

I am going to purchase a Santorin April - May next year. I am writing to ask if anyone has installed Air Conditioning in a Santorin. Is there enough space in the Engine Bay, and can the electrics
