I would not leave the boat in the water during hurricane season in Grenada.... Stored ashore is still a risk but much safer. As Matt says sail to Trinidad. There are several good yards in Chaguaramus

Thank you Gerhard, I have some ordered. Have you ordered from Amel? Ive made 2 enquiries without any answer via the website contact page. Mark Sent from my Samsung device

Hi Mike I have 2 new 12 volt fans in my Santorin purchased in Wellington last year they were about nz$ 30 each and a common industrial type and performed well during 4 months in the pacific and are

The best protection from a direct hurricane hit is 100 nm. Grenada was hit by Ivan in 2004. It damaged most of the boats there. Grenada has learned since, and has improved their yard storage. Grenada,

Hi Thomas, Bob and Suzanne, anyone else with advice here, Did you find a suitable 220V fan that you are happy with? I need to install something to keep the engine room cool while generator, water

Duralac is special stuff, but has a shelf life, and it shortens above 20°C. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Hi A mooring ball is rated in terms of holding power but I don’t understand what that means. I also don’t know what holding power is required to hold a Super Maramu in a hurricane. Could someone

Hi , Did you ever try Duralac? I have built 2 boats using this stuff. It is amazing and I believe it is better than Tef Gel. In addition it is a cream and when it dries it is somewhat like

Hello Mark I have bought this foam rubber, cut it to the length needed, clued the ends together with superglue and fixed it in the window groove with contact adhesive. For the different portlights I

Good morning, can anyone share their experience of buying and fitting seals for the opening portlights, the photographs are from a 1983 Sharki. If Maud is the answer how is she contacted? Thank

Hi Olivier, I am quite certain that I have the aluminum casing - so that would mean I have the RH version. What does RH standing for....probably "right...."? Would you know the pitch of the thread?

Hi Volker, Originally, this Santorin has an aluminum casing C-drive, labelled CATEP, with a RH pitch propeller. Since 1990, the drive may have been replaced with a cast iron casing one, and if so, the

Hi I just want to get to the heart of this long discussion. I have 30 years of positive experience with a full tank and an additive for diesel. There was never water in the tank and organic pollution.
