Nick, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht

Nick, Maybe I was not clear...I was talking about the forward-facing cover that you fabricated. I think all the 54's I have seen have a loose-fitting cover on the forward end...maybe yours was lost,

Hi Bill, So the GRP cover was always there. I took it off and bedded it back with silicone. The odd thing is that the front end was left open for spay to go straight in. I decided to glue on a pvc

Hello, Just had Flash battery Kaiken that does continuous cell balancing... but they don’t do batteries for yachts and private owners just for industrial companies. so that s out for

Arno,. You are correct, the Divinycell won't rot if water gets in. For a boat with a teak deck that has fastener holes I would prefer the Divinycell since with that many holes water is going to get

Dear Bill and all, Thank you for the video. That was very interresting and useful for me as a near future owner of a Super Maramu. Anyway the Group activity is fantastic. Best regards Alain Envoyé
