Re: Rubber caps for Lofrans [10 Attachments]
Alan
I found it at Amazon Germany:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00F44Q9XY/ref=pe_3044161_189395811_TE_SCE_3p_dp_1
It has a rubber cap but the switch is made in plastic.
This one has a better quality

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow nav light re-wiring
Hi Tom,
We have replaced the starboard wire twice and the port one once.
One of the secrets is to use the European round wire vs the USA flat wire.
I am not a fan at the present time to use LED

Re: Amel 50
Hi Mohammad,
We bought the 54 in late 2017, and cruised for 6 months in Greece last summer.
Much like you, we are very impressed with the boat. The more we learned the more we liked.

If you said already, I don't see it. Can you tell me where you purchased the new starter switch for your Perkins? I need a new rubber cap for mine, as well.

Hi Porter,
Those pictures are from 2001, and that's our daughter swimming. She was in the Peace Corps in Ecuador, so, of course, we had to go. What a super time!
From what I read the government

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Head sail furling, Heading to S Pacific
Thanks Miles, so I’m envisioning the line running along the deck and up against the cockpit coaming, rather than thru another block or two that keep it outboard by the rail. Is that right?

Re: Amel 50
That’s a great result!!
The boat does look great. We considered it seriously. We visited the first hull in the factory in 2017, but decided we didn’t want to buy a boat so early in the production

I know what you mean about the money. It was 8 and 9 years ago but we found everything in the US and the Caribbean very expensive. Central America was cheap so unless its changed I'd suggest

Yes, removing the bow pulpit is tough - far better to avoid that and, having done it both ways, frankly, it doesn't make the job that much easier.
