There are severe constraints on tin supply with very few producers. Given the outrageously high dilution ratio of total boat hull surface to ocean water volume, I would think this is purely an

Hi Arno, I would not worry too much about your pollution level… the commercial ships never have barnacles or green on their hulls. What do you think makes their AF so effective? Yet the regulators

I’m surprised you can still buy that stuff. It’s increadebly bad for the environment as it messes up the hormone-balance. In Europe it has been bannen for quite some years now. So no Tin-based a/f

Has anyone seen or are aware of a Santorin galley that has been modified to U shaped or L shaped?

HelloReudi; Yes,the Amel 54 has a thermal cutoff to prevent damage to the thruster as well ascontinuous high current draw (Around 550 Amps at 24V) which could lead to fireon board. We've had the

Ruedi, it takes ALOT of power did you have your generator on? Cheers Courtney Trippin 54 #101

Ruedi, The Amel 54 Bow Thruster has an internal thermal switch (sometimes called thermal reset or thermal cutout). 10 - 15 minutes is a lot of use and will probably cause the thermal switch to open.

Dear Forum On my Amel-54 I discovered that the bow truster stops working after repeatingly use within 10-15 min timeframe. I used the bow truster a bit more than usual when I practiced some

Kent, I completely missed this message. Sorry about that! We are in Deale at Herrington Harbor North. I do have a few more PCBs available from the first batch that I had made. If you are still

Sorry for the blast. I am not on the boat and would like to buy some parts for a side solar panel project Could you be so kind to confirm the diameter of a SM200 railing: - Horizontal railing

Thank you Alan, Yes the leech of the main is already in bad shape. It tends to fold over when furling. The last 2 or 3 feet don’t straighten out until sailing some distance. I’ve had the leech

Hi Thomas, Are you on the Island at present? If you like we could meet. I’m sure you have all kinds of stories on an Amel 54 Regards, Arno Curacao

Hi Arno, Congratulations and welcome ! We put coppercoat on Garulfo last year. It worked great in the med. In the Caribbean, we were disappointed to get green algae. But no barnacles whatsoever,

To close this topic out – We hadour boat papers, receipts, clearance docs and bonding letter etc. We wentthrough the Green Line, nothing to declare. We were asked where we came fromand how long we

Thanks Dean I’ll have a look Appreciated Porter

Congratulations and welcome to the group Arno. I am using SeaHawk Island 44. It is available in the US only for boats over 75 ft. It is tin based and works great for 4-4.5 years. All the big boats

Hi Peter, I have vertical battens in the main and mizzen. As long as the boom is at 90d, furling hasn’t been a problem. Sail shape is significantly better than without them. I don’t know how

Porter, I have posted some pictures of the winter tent on the Facebook group. (I struggle with the logistics the posting attachments on this forum). Cheers Dean SY Stella Amel 54#154

Thanks to all the people for the advice and congrats. It seems the Micron 77-stuff is the way forward.

Regarding Micron 77, in many (most?) parts of Europe it is no longer available having been replaced by Micron 350. We had Micron 350 applied (Micron 77 no longer available) in April, 2018 at Manoel
