You should note the year above each column then call "your choice of someone" in DC to convert my numbers to 2019 numbers.

I'm going to the Annapolis Boat Show - anyone want SM bow thruster lip seals (free)?
Hi all,
Just going through my spare parts and found that I have three lip seals with dimensions 30x42x7 which the previous owner left aboard. He had a SM2000 and I believe these are the lip seals for

Re: Pulling the mast to rerig
Thanks Alan.
Sounds like pulling the mast was a good solution for you and glad to hear it went well.
We are primarily focused on replacing the 20 year old standing rigging, but several

In my experience, Europe waters insurance costs from EU companies are lower than most other areas by half or more.

Re: Maintenance costs for Amel yachts
Hi Bill, that’s a great account and very much appreciate your sharing.
Could I please inquire, I thought Atlantic, Caribbean and pacific insurance policy’s were much higher? I’ve been quoted

Re: Mainsail manual furler lip seal size?
Hi Scott, it is a 30x40x7 standard although mine for some reason was a very sloppy fit so I machined it out to fit a 30x41x7. It should be a good press fit.

Re: Maintenance costs for Amel yachts
We on Island Pearl II agree with every comment above.
Island Pearl II is our 7th cruising yacht over the past 15 years of sailing, and the best by far!. We have had some really nice (and far newer)

Re: Pulling the mast to rerig
Hello Mike;
In my experience, the reason why some riggers prefer to pull the mast is it makes it easier to make their measurements to make the new standing rigging and lift the masts with all rigging

My penny’s worth.
Amelia is my third sailboat but I also worked as a professional yacht captain for nearly 20 years on numerous vessels.
I have to say that, in general, my Amel 54 is the best

Re: Engine Battery cable to starter motor to be replaced - looking for experience
There is a single non-spliced cable from the battery switches for both positive and negative wires. There is a single start battery.
It is not the wire, unless you have cut or damaged one and that is

Re: Pulling the mast to rerig
We re-rigged our vessel without pulling the masts out. It was done in the berth by riggers without any difficulty. It certainly avoided a haul out and/or a crane expense.
