I agree Nick, the double tube makes the structure stiffer. It is precisely what the reinforcement of the Atlantic arch does. The design with top angles >>90 degrees should also help but I could not

Hello Arno, I have the Duo 100 aboard and have had problems with corrosion as well. It was most noticeable at the small interconnects between the membranes and caused leakage. I discussed this with

Craig, I am sorry I was not precise enough. What I meant was to make the arch shorter and stretch the legs out, EXACTLY the opposite of what you did and what Atlantic recommends. What you did and

Hi Bill, Thanks for the explanation. You made a good point about the A/C pump. I forgot all about that. So there are actually a few places where the zink “meets” the shore ground. I’m in a

Thanks Bill, I agree that the really important connection between the C drive and the rudder zincs needs to be 100% and the for example salt water pump for the anchor wash is less of a worry. When I

Nick, I think that most of your questions were directed to me and I already stated that I am not an electrical engineer. Maybe some should be directed to SAV at Amel. I will answer from my

Cigale many, many thanks for your pictures. Very helpful. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently Kalamata, Greece

I had this stern arch made by Nick in Grenada. (TechNick Ltd SIMS Boat Yard) I showed him an example of the Emek arch and we discussed it. We tried flexing it by hand and it wobbled a lot. Nick said

Hi Bill, I meant to say well done to all those involved with setting up the new owners site. Thanks. Good bonding connections???? How good can we expect the connections on the bonding circuits to

Here's what's been reported on this thread. Denise on CARA, a SM, has 26GRT / 23NRT Eric on Kibelite, a SM has 28 GRT / 25 NRT on his US Documentation but that was done by Amel (French

That sounds great, José, that Atlantic will add stiffeners. And, yes, leg-out pre-tensioning is what I did and what Atlantic's instructions said - a ratchet-strap is needed to pull the legs together

Thank you, James, Craig, and Ian for your thoughts. James, nice to know that the Emek was only twice that of the Atlantic, I thught it was much more. Also important to know that the wobbliness is an

All Group Members and Moderators, We have added a Amel Yacht Owners Group Wiki which can hopefully answer any of your questions regarding how to use the new group and its tools. When you are online at

Arno, Of course I do not know exactly the cause of the corrosion, but it may be saltwater caused corrosion and was not caused by a missing or poor bonding connection. I am not an electrical engineer.

That is brilliant, thank you. Sent from my Samsung device

Kent and Iris, As it turns out almost nothing has changed...someone else was just added to the Rally, so the count remains the same. I said almost nothing because I am sure that you and Iris will be

CARA is USCG Documented: 26 GRT, 23 NRT Denise McGovern s/v CARA SM #440 Chesapeake Bay

Kimberlite is documented in the USA with 28 gross tonnage and 25 net tonnage. That was provided by Amel when they had Kimberlite documented. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Thank you Gerhard this is very interesting and useful information. I am compiling an inventory of my Sharki, do you think it is something all Sharki owners would contribute to and use? It could be
