Hi Danny Awesome, let's take this off-line to svislandpearl@... email address, but it would be really nice to meet, and also have Amel "Island Pearl" meet "Ocean Pearl" as previously planned had we

Hi Colin, we are departing NZ for Fiji this week, planning Wednesday so perhaps the two Pearls may meet. Later we are considering a summer cruise of the Australian east coast, Brisbane and south.

Hi Alan, The control boards are ... expensive but I got one aboard just in case.. GL Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera, SM007, Fiji.

Hi Bernd, I used the color "Renault Panda White 348" for SM #37 (1990) I had a local auto paint store make the color (their code was 53-1704591-A) and put it into spray cans. Total cost was

Hi Bill You are spot-on as usual. Especially when it comes to power consumption, we all use these boat very differently, and hence my rather practical detailed examples to illustrate this down to

Thanks Bill, That all makes sense and since I've fully charged the start battery, the ONAN cranks every time. I had been through ALL the connections including the hidden from view ones (you don't

Hi Gary, Looking forward to meeting you. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Scott, I believe the Amel 50 will be coming back to my home town on long island in a few weeks. I will definitely be heading to the Caribbean in the fall. I hope to leave about November

Hi Eric!! Just a quick pass through this week. Looking to beat the weather and get to Shelburne, NS in the next couple of days. We ~will~ be back in just a few weeks. Want to explore Cape Cod,

Colin, Very understandable with lots of actual and current information. Thanks for that. There are many ways to cruise and many more methods to power your requirements aboard an Amel. When we account

Hi Scott In answer to your questions, here is a pic of the boat from the drone we took recently in Marquesas showing you where the solar and wind gens are located. (We have 540W on the davits plus

Hi Miles, I understand your flushing circuit description, that seems like a great idea especially if you have to winter in the cold every year. As I understand it from this thread, neither the

Amelia AML54-019

On Amelia I have demoted the Beugel to port side second anchor and now have a Spade 160 as the main anchor. Note that on the starboard side I have installed an extra roller to keep the chain from
