Yes they are quiet....almost totally We had an annoying squeak last year in big seas, it was traced to one of the bolts holding down the hard dodger. Tightened it and the others, squeak gone. The only

Hi Steve, In my opinion a 47kg Mantus is overkill. Remember that the system is as strong as its weakest link. Pay particular attention to swivels and other connectors. I would suggest looking for

Hello everyone, I am about to purchase a new Mantus 47 kg (105lb) galvanised anchor for my Super Maramu, which is the same size as that on SvDelos, but quite large for an SM which seem to usually have

Hello I was at the boat show in La Rochelle with my wife two years ago. There we visited a Lagoon, a Hallberg-Rassy (beautiful yacht) and the New Amel 50. As soon as we entered the boats, the loud

Hi, Kimberlite is now almost 18 years old. We have about 65,000 Sea miles on her. We never have had a squeak or rattle. It is quite quiet except when beating into very large waves. The boat never

Hi; We have zero creeks or noise in any condition that we encountered so far. The construction of Amels are unlike any I had seen in the 4 year search, it took to select our boat. We started from

HI, With your Pantaenius where do you live in the USA? If you are in the USA where do you keep your boat in hurricane season , and if not in the USA where are you located? Fair Winds Eric Amel

Scott, Why do you use parallel - Is it to do with partial shading? Mine are in series to minimise loss in the cable as I have no space for thicker cables. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54

Mine has squeaks and creeks... it’s a boat! However comparing a Lagoon catamoron to an Amel is carp. :-).

Hi, could you please let me know if Amel boats, SM specifically, are quiet boats? I’ve chartered Lagoon catamaran last week and it was a noise generating machine at anchorage and during passages.

Scott, Thanks for that. Yes, I should have guessed the wires for the gauge! A for the possible slope I guess I could put a spirit level on and see what it averages out at. Cheers, Paul S/Y

Exactly correct Scott. Next power investment will be lithiums. Porter A54-152 Excuse the errors. Sent from my IPhone Www.fouribis.com

Thanks for the input everyone. We literally have resigned to having Sleipner New Zealand look at it, when we get there in November!! But the fact that two of you have experienced failures on the short

David, I have experience with LG Neon2 320w panels and that's it. I have 3 of them wired IN PARALLEL on my aft custom arch and run through a Victron BlueSolar MPPT into Victron LiFePO4 batteries and

Paul, Pretty sure fuel outlet is fore as that's where the Racors are. The forward hatch wires are for the electronic fuel gauge in the cockpit fuel locker. There's bit of a baffle. Just open up the

Mohammad, 1) I have a Highfield CL310 HYP as does Dean. The transom "lip" where the tubes are glued was bent when it arrived. Probably bad packaging. This is not the first time I have heard of this -

Mohammad, yes, I see that now. CW Bill Rouse

Hi Joerg; Thanks for the photos. Definitely a nice improvement to the Davits. The Davits on the 55 are closer spaced than the 54 and I believe are parallel and not at an angle like the 54. I think

Hi Bill; I know it appear that the outboard is reversed on the transom. But it is not. Take another look. Happy Sailing; Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo AMEL 54 #099
