Steel is steel. If bare steel is exposed to salt water it will rust. It is very important to immediately prime the ballast as soon as it is sanded. Slight oxidation will cause the bottom paint to

Fair enough, but setting my specific vessel aside, and asking about ballast and copper straps on Maramus in general: 1. If the copper strap is intact, then is it true that there would be no rusting of

Hello, Warning according to an incident yesterday in le Marin, Martinique. We observed an AMEL super maramu full sail up entering the bay. The captain left a green buoy at his starboard side and

Dear Arno, dear Bill, thx a lot for your fast response, help and explanations. Seems that I had the wrong memories, despite I am only 50 years old ;-)) Now I have a better picture for the purpose of

To add to Bill's remark, the Ballooner and the Gennaker are NOT the same sails. I believe the Ballooner to be a bit less "baggy" compared to the Gennaker. This enables it to be furled together with

OK, I believe you are trying to raise the genoa on the wrong slot. The genoa goes into the isolated single slot. The other two slots which are close together are used by the Amel twin pole system. It

Jacob, I think it is impossible to answer your questions because the historical information is not available to you or me. An Amel the age of your Maramu has been through numerous owners and many

Hello all. I have a 1985 Mango and looking at flying dual headsails for downwind running. I have figured out the Amel poles and wanted to know if there was originally a mouse that runs up the foil

I've owned her for 2 years. I don't know about any work done on the ballast or the strap prior to that. I observed some small rust bubbles on the very bottom of the aft end of the ballast when we

Hi Ulrich, The photo did not come through. The fixed Blade has a protrusion that fits into a V cut into the oil drain plug of the “C” Drive. I believe the blades are made for the Amel system

Let's start by asking how long you have owned this Amel and what do you know about the previous work done on the boat?

OK, I have read every thread about keel rust and copper ballast straps, and I have several questions. 1. If the copper strap is intact, then is it true that there would be no rusting of the

Hi, Relax, the furler swivel is just as it should be. To enlighten you, the swivel is developed to fly two headsails simultaneously. Actually the Genua and the Ballooner (that is wat Amel calls it).

Dear Bill, no, it has 1 pole. Ballooner/ gennaker is separate furled in front of the genoa. But I like the possibility to have 2 genoa in the foil (butterfly) - very good experiences on my previous

Eric, et al, One of the blades should be held in place by the V shaped oil drain bolt, the other blade spins with the shaft. Something is very wrong with this installation.
