Courntey, There are several ways to do the rigging on an Amel (or any other boat, for that matter) You can have the exact dimensions on file, and cut the wires to length at a factory and prepare the

I said the benefits of ordering from ACMO are: The most important benefits are 1 & 2 above. ACMO has the exact specifications in terms of size and length that are needed, in most cases, to properly

Joel do you have any recommendations about where to have this done? I have a year left before my rig is 15 and would like to plan ahead. Cheers Courtney

Craig, Speculating on a topic like this without actually inspecting the materials is likely to be a problematic exercise, but I have an idea for you. Note well that I am discussing this having MUCH

Laurens, There is no easy answer to "how long" for rigging. The problem is that stainless steel can fail in ways that give absolutely no visual warning. It can look perfect--right up until the rig

Paul, If both parties are talking 316 stainless steel, and are using the defined international standards for that alloy, there should be NO difference in breaking strength. The tensile strength of the

Amel changed the specs of the Mainmast Lower and Intermediate Shrouds during the production of the 54. The final revision was: If you order from ACMO, they have this change, but be sure to check and

Ian, I know that you know the following, but since you did not say, I will offer this: I have had more than 1 experienced clients have the same issue. I always ask if they have turned on what I call

Hi Thomas, one of the reasons why I have my sailrite under the portside double berth in the front cabin is, that it fits in perfectly there. If you use the 2nd compartment, seen from the left

Craig, Thanks for your reply. It looks quite similar to my wiring. The red and two brown wires on my photo to up to the windlass switches. There is no voltage registering on the red wire which is the

Hey Teun I'm referring you to the AMEL insurance group. If you want to hear about this plan talk to me.

We keep our 1992 SN "Sangaris" at the dock in front of our condo in Delray Beach, FL, where she's been in her slip for two years, what with Covid and other issues preventing active cruising. Today,

Hi Ian, I checked my SN today and find no 5A fuse (or any other small size) in the low voltage wires to the windlass. I only have the 100A breaker in this picture. --The fuse holder to the upper left
