The question is simple Hanspeter, Bill and Judy lived aboard BeBe full time for 12 years. The two seasons that they were in Trinidad they were in the water and were on the boat the majority of the

Hi Dan Carlson I and other Amel owners do not understand your question. You are the new owner of BeBe ,earlier boat from Bill the Admiral? My two cent words. Ask him. He knows ewerything about your

Hi all, We will be hauling our SM out at the end of the month for 5 months of storage in Trinidad. We would love to see checklists and hear tips from others who have a good annual routine. Some

Great advice from Bill Kinney, to which I’d add that youryacht insurance likely excludes transporting the vessel, so you need a separatepolicy. Transport policies typically treat your yacht as

Hello Mike, Could you provide some photos of the installed rub rails at your SM? Thanks so much Olaf Mia-Amara SN#135 Martinique

We had great success with installing the Taco Marine V11-0809 Flexible Rub Rail. Comes in 50’ length for $185. Fits in the groove in the fiberglass rubrail. Pictures attached (if this works). Mike

Hi Curt, We trucked Libertad (Maramu #121) from New Orleans to San Diego. I'm pretty sure the boat was loaded correctly relative to keeping the load on the keel -all the hatches close tight and we

Hi Curt, An advantage of this forum is you'll get the whole spectrum of experiences. I shipped a prior sailboat of mine from Michigan to New York. As an experiment I put a Styrofoam cup filled with

Gentlemen, Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. Bill K, I agree it is very interesting that such a minor creak in an Amel causes such consternation. We also looked at Discovery and Oyster

Curt, We are really glad to hear that you have decided to keep Laguedoc and take her home. Joann and I also plan to make the trip up the inside passage to Alaska and think that the Maramu will be

Kristy made the 700? mile trip from Lake Texoma to Galveston without a hitch. Wires for mainsail furling/outhaul were disconnected from motors and brought below. The dodger had to be removed because

I bet you could get more than a few experienced Amel owners who would be willing to crew on a delivery. Alway more fun on someone else's Amel! John Clark Vent de Soleil SM 37 Great Bay St. Maarten

Curt, Oops, I was sopassionate about not trucking a boat, I forgot to answer the question. The sailmotor wires will only disconnect from the solenoids in the forward head andneed to be pulled up.

Curt, I would seriouslyreconsider this plan. A previous boat of ours was shipped and was never thesame afterward. The boat was tight, quiet under sail and never creaked. We transportedit 1500

We are planning to truck our Maramu to Washington State. Has anyone had experience decommissioning an Amel for truck hauling? Particularly, what is the best method to un-wire the mainsail furlling

Hi Craig, This summer we would like to run back and forth in lower Aegean, through the Cyclades, and in Oct drop down the Peloponese back to the Ionians, maybe leaving Sisila at Lefkada, but not

Thanks, Craig, precious as always Attilio & Maria Siviero Amel Santorin#84 "Sisila"

I just wanted to throw out a comment here from somebody who has spent a lot of time on boats other than those built by Amel... I think it is just awesome that Amel builds boats so well that a
