Hello everyone, We are planning to relocate our SM2000 from Crete to the Kusadasi Marina in Turkey. We would also like to do some maintenance there. Does anyone have experiences (good or bad) with

Eric, I agree with you on all points however an ATN Gale Sail will meet the ORC Cat 1 requirement for a storm. Although inadvisable a storm jib can be made with luff tape and grommets to allow for it

Dmitry, Every two years I enjoy a nice spurt of business thanks to Pacific Cup and people needing to comply ORC Cat 1. Quite honestly if I wanted to do Pac Cup or a similar event I'd crew for a

Hi Jurgen,   I own Mango 51.   Extremely difficult to move toward Starboard going astern, unless you have  speed, so a lot of space..., but going astern to Port is OK, all because of the large

Hi, As fairly new owner of the Mango #18 built 1981 I am experiencing some difficulties manoeuvring the boat astern in small Turkish and Greek marinas/harbours because my bow thruster does not work.

Hi, A friend, owner of a Mango 1980, would like to clean the fuel tanks ( 480 l & 380 l)on his boat but on his unit there are no access port holes, the fuel gauge is mechanical (a float, similar to

Hi John, Here are my experiences of the sometimes very frustrating Navtex reception issues. I had a NASA navtex on our First 405 that we sailed around the Med for 7 years. The active antenna was

Eric, Thanks for the reply. I totally got the idea behind the keel-stepped mast issue. My boat is deck-stepped so that makes sense now - Thank You! ATN sail is the last resort but thats about all I

Dmitry, Do you have a deck stepped mast on a Super Maramu? Or some other Amel with a keel stepped mast? If your boat is deck stepped then you do not need the bolt. The purpose of the bolt is to

Eric, sounds like you mentioned some of the same issues I had on my Sharki as far as Category 1 requirements. I would love to hear back if you remember any other items. How do you know your boat does

What model and year Amel do You have? My Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite is deck stepped and does not require what is referred to as a Bermuda bolt. Also on the Amel Super Maramu there are
