Oops I sent my last email before I had a chance to ask my question. In regards to refinishing the deck for traction and visual appeal. Is there a way one can contact the Amel company and find out what

Hello I am Christopher and new to this fantastic forum. I am not yet an owner BUT I am shopping for my very own Amel. So with that said I try and not miss a signal post/discussion that is posted.

Hi Jacob, We just flew back to St Maarten last night, and will see you tomorrow evening at Lagoonies. There should be several of us there, and we can put our heads together to figure it out. If still

I've been looking at some of the synthetic decking products and will probably go down that path if all else fails. The worst cracking is around the cockpit area and in some areas the faux 'caulking'

Nice Ric, I too have the prop generator. Have you had any issues with additional wear on the c drive, or transmission? John Clark Vent de Soleil SM 37 Simpson Bay SXM

I can recount many voyages where fuel was a worry. Most, however, were deliveries trying to get from A-B in the shortest time. Most notable was a Palmer 72 with twin 120HP engines plus generator which

I'd love to see that if you come across it again...

Sweet! See you then.

I do remember that you identified that now, Olivier, thanks for the reminder. This old girl has so many needs that I'd forgotten that one! I'll try your suggestions and report back. Thanks

Hi John. Lark is at the Geminga yard on the French side. Unfortunately I won't be at the boat until later in the evening. Would love meet up though. I'll be there this evening and in the morning if

Hi Jacob, I just left Budget Marine in Simpson Bay. Am getting a beer mulling over a quote. Where are you, I might be able to dinghy over. John Clark SV Vent de Soleil. SM 37 Simpson Bay SXM

That is so cool! I know all of those guys and all are now retired except one. Real time warp for me and thanks for the memories. I believe I have a photo of your boat in the ‘test pool’ as that

Hello Jacob, the mainsail furler was indeed weak (see my report). If there is too much tension on the outhaul motor, the weak in-mast furler will not move. You may remember I showed you the way to

The primary issue with the commercial synthetic teak products I am aware of is that they only simulate straight teak boards, not the bent ones that run up the side decks of an Amel. I have been on

I think that Bill Rouse is correct that the grooves in the faux teak deck improve the grip of the Faux teak Amel deck along with the moulded in surface roughness. The grooves probably function a

Oh I just realized that at some point we started talking about the jib furler, but my issue is actually with the main furler. Sorry for the confusion. My jib furler is fine. The one that's giving me
