Ian, Did you see Alexandres web site? Search Defender for 1080 Oceanair, that's the main and forward cabins at least. Alexandre, Thanks for the tip on Defender. Man, you must have one heck of a

Thank you James, I always felt the bringing the MOB on board as quickly as possible was the thing to do. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi, When Kimberlite was delivered to me the boot stripe was a light orange. I had Amel outfit the entire electronics suite with Raymarine instruments. I believe that is what the red line boats

Duane, On my boat there was paint there, but there were also repairs to the stringers, so the paint might not be original. I sanded it flat before I glued down the P79. I mounted mine to starboard of

I am interested in these screens as well. Alexandre, do you remember the sizes you installed? Here is why I ask... In October, we had the Oceanair rep on board in Fort Lauderdale to do the measuring

Ryan, "Does the field connector have a terminal for the shield?" Yes it did, and I connected all of those. The powertap battery connection has a terminal for a shield wire so I need to connect

Sorry Bill. A misunderstanding. I thought your meant two halyards at the top of the mast. Like I said, I couldn't see how this could be. Regards Danny Sent from my Vodafone Smart

Here it is Duane, http://www.nikimat.com/hatches_screen_oceanair.html Therefore when I had the rat coming, he (or she) was able to open the hatch, so I had to use pin to secure it. I think the rat

I'm about to install the P79, and reading the instructions it says if there is paint grind it off. I'd rather not if possible. Does anyone know if it is paint or gelcoat? If you installed one,

Danny, Every SM that I have seen (50-75) was built with two 10mm Polyester halyards in addition to the mizzen sail halyard. When new, these had a breaking load of about1,400kg (3,000 pounds) and a

Thanks James, You have reinforced what I have learned in the past about the rescue techniques and first aid for cold water immersion. The Canadian Coast Guard has a great resource for people sailing

Hi Bill, I'm puzzled by the two mizzen halyards you mention. I have one that hoists the mizzen sail, it is internal and its sheave is directly over the track in the furler sleeve, not another one

Danny, I agree completely, and, in my experience, this is not the first time the RYA has promoted something that is illogical and impractical. I thought this statement was unusual, "Thank you very

I'm looking for anyone with experience with the Oceanair Skyscreen on the SuperMaramu? As part of our vermin-proofing of Wanderer (see previous post on Rats!), we want to put a screen on the ports

Thanks Bill, well said. Bluntly I say that the RYA horizontal lift advice is impractical, and worse, downright dangerous in an offshore situation. The idea of an amateur drew stumbling around trying

I would like to add to this discussion with respect strictly to medical management and considerations. The vast majority of you have far greater sailing experience than me, and I think this is an

We have used http://doityourselflettering.com/ for our Amel and our previous boat. The quality and service are fantastic. The site has a design feature that is fun to play with even if you decide

I agree with this view. In the past AMEL did not care about the main stream. They built the boats the way they thought they should be built. And they had their own in house architect. Now they have an

Hi Jean, we are fortunate that we sail boats that are very well designed and built and so are still sound. We also have the commitment by Amel to continue to provide support and parts for their

I think the line on the SM is a color that straddles the line between red and orange, so it's a bit of a matter of opinion. Though maybe mine has faded. If you go with a vinyl boat name (I would), be
