Stanchion Base Plate Mounting Screws
Can anyone tell me the length, size and thread pitch of the countersunk-hex head screws that mount the lifeline stanchions to their imbedded threaded backplates? They are metric, I presume, and

Hi Olaf,
The spares you have on board depend how much offshore sailing you will be doing.
I sail about 80 % offshore.
I have Raymarine instruments so they might be different than what you need.

Ian,
I am really glad to hear that your son was not injured when the 14mm halyard snapped. I agree that having a backup method of support when going aloft is a really good practice. Normally it

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] engine / cdrive adjustments?
Hello Phil!
During our circum navigation I had to install a new engine here in New Zealand. Now I do have a vibration on idle speed and on 1800 rpm. It doesn’t matter if the boat is in gear or out

Ryan,
Good points. I think two lines can be better than one line and a static line except in the situation where you only have a total of two crew members: 1 to go up and 1 to hoist.
