This is certainly a healthy discussion. I believe there are additional new and beneficial benefits of the Amel 50 twin rudder system. This may be a little confusing so I will try to

This is all great news for the wallet of present owners of Amel ketches: if Amel has, by statement of its officers, indirectly endorsed the ketches as THE blue water, ocean-crossing vessel, which

Theo, Thanks for that information. I believe that you may have a more powerful BT than the 55...I will wait until a 55 owner responds. But, your answer brings up a question. What size fuse do you

On my boat (Paloma, Amel 50 hull #18) I have the Side-Power SE 210/250 TC. But, I have heard that other bow thruster models may have been installed on other 50s. I have posted pictures and information

It appears as though the rudders sprang open like a clam shell,as if there was tension , when released they assumed their natural position. What would be the reason for not adding layers of fiberglass

Hi Scott, I got it on eBay

Is the rudder on the 55 the same as the 50? 2 shells glued together? Thanks Billy (55#56)

the attacs are from La Coruna, Spain (Bay of Bisquay) to Gibraltar so it is probably 2 or 3 groups of Orcas. 2 days ago ther was attacks just outside Faro and Portimao on the Portuguese

Hi, The attacks by the Orca’s around Portugal and around the bend into the Med is not a one time incident. The authorities think it’s a game by young macho Orca’s. There are around 10 incidents

Thank you Aras, I´ll go for that! Best wishes, Johannes

Hi, I would put hull form at the top. The modern flying wedges are fast and the voluminous stern cockpit fashionable and popular,but I suspect ( I am a sailor not a Naval architect) not as sea kindly,

Personally I find it amazing that a pair of killer whales attacked the rudders, destroyed them, and a) the boat didn’t sink b) the boat was able to still make its way to port c) the hull and

Surely one serious safety concern is enough to get a serious prospective buyer really concerned. Rudder failure rates of 1% are mentioned in ARC rallues, dont know if this is correct or not. The 50

I’d love to know - beyond who they market to - what changes make these new boats less seaworthy world cruisers? The only three specific features that are regularly brought up are: - twin rudders

As an erstwhile Product planner, I understand the evolution that the A50 represents for Amel. Stepping onto one of the 1st “show boats” in Sydney a few years ago, I for one “got it”

Sorry if this sounds a bit ‘nanny state’ and I’m teaching you to such eggs, but as an ex Merchant Navy trained Radio Officer I can confirm there are some SERIOUS life threatening voltages and

Absolutely agree with all of that. Judith and I visited Amel in La Rochelle in 2019 and went for a sail on the 50. Judith fell in love with it's creature comforts and layout and now says we'll buy one
