Re: New sails
QSails, rocks!
35 Amel owners buying from QSails is powerful. I am proud to say that BeBe SM 387 was the first of 35.

Re: The two "sticks" on the genoa top swivel
Thank you, Danny! We will definitely take a close look at the swivel regarding the tongue and nylon pencil. We very much appreciate the specialty Amel knowledge here!

Re: New sails
We received a new Genoa, Ballooner, and mizzen ballooner from Q sails a few months ago. The sails are excellent quality and fit, and the service was great as well.

Re: New sails
Just got my quote from Q Sails in Izmir. While shipping to Maryland is about $400 US, the pricing seemed quite competitive for a full set of hydranet. Q Sails states that they have provided about 35

Re: SSB antenna mount
Alex,
I believe that you can epoxy the two pieces together. I like JB Weld for this project.

Please look at this

Dear Amelians,
the part at the bottom of my SSB antenna (thread on one side, screwed on the other side) broke. I can't see the manufacturer. The HF is an icon IC 802.

Re: New sails
Hi Paul,
I got a main and genoa by North Sails in NZ for +- Eur 1000 more... but in 3DI Nordam.
Was same price as NS triradials.
The new sails are tremendous.

Re: Toilet flooding when sailing
Possibly yours is not an Amel original installation.
All the SM Amel installed boats I have seen have anti-siphons for each of the electric toilet pumps which were mounted on the bulkhead. Possibly

There is no anti-siphon valve at all, our pumps are placed on the "floor" just in front of the Onan diesel as fare on the port side that is possible. from there the hoses go directly forward and

Re: Toilet flooding when sailing
Paul,
I assume that you have original Jabsco "Not-So-Quiet" electric flush toilets.
I agree with Mark, and if you flushed correctly the water passing back into the toilet from a leaking joker valve

There are pull strings available that were installed by Amel. These pull strings have a piece of rubber tied to them about every 6 feet. The rubber was tied so that the strings did not wrap

Re: New sails
Two reasons. First, because it is too short. Second, the shape on ours is a little 'flat'. I find it hard to get an effective foil like shape because it doesn't 'cave' enough at the forward spot where

Thank's Ian
When you say not happy with the cut, do you only mean it is to short? Or the shape is also bad and it does not perform well?

Paul,
While you areunderway and the holding tank valve is open, sea water can push upward. Thiswill cause added pressure in the tank and the air pressure in the tank will putbackward pressure on
