Yes, Nicky is still the preferred rigger. He also crews on an Amel 64. I suspect that is the reason. His contact is: Mobile +356 79271668nickysail@... CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1

Good news, thanks for all your efforts Bill. I tried to contact Nikky Samut to get some work done when we were in Malta a couple of weeks ago, but got no response. Is Nikky still one of your preferred

Thanks Courtney and Bill, as well. Last night while anchored, we noticed the fridge/freezer started freezing things again and the front loader started to get a little warmer. This certainly leads me

Hi Bill, Thanks for that. I believe the ...MQ controller is acting as the master in Jose's setup (from the pictures he posted), but as you say it may not be using tail current as a trigger. I

I believe that Alban LEROY, Manager of Amel Martinique, may know more about maintaining a Super Maramu than anyone else. I love the special tools he has developed. I also believe that anyone bypassing

Hi all Would you be so kind to check if my installation is right? The BT does not turn to Port or Stb when using the joystick at cockpit. IPC relay (Control Box 6-123xi) was faulty, and I replaced

Thanks Bill! I’ll also add Bill has saved me far more time and money by his shared knowledge and advice, but the discount are nice as well. Thanks, Doug Smith Amel 54-113, Aventura Charleston SC

Hi Bob. I agree with Vladan as I said in a previous post. The oil cooler seems most likely and easy to check. Blown head gasket? Highly unlikely. Wrong symptoms. Cracked block. ? Unlikely too but I

Hi Paul I have a santorin ketch built in late 1991 Probably won’t point as well as a sloop but I have sailed the pacific and sub Antarctic and have been really happy with my purchase made 5 years

Hi Paul. We own a sloop and have been using the numbers 180K/20S, although not sure exactly where those figures came from. If you have questions re the sloop rig feel free to PM me. Dave

It was built between 1989 ans 1997 at 150 numbers...I think 100 ketchs and 50 sloops...

Raul, Agree! This is totally possible to do in the water. You can even argue that the alignment SHOULD be done in the water with the boat taking the shape it normally does without the distortions of

Wow, Ive been shaking my head about this very issue as well. an easy fix. Thanks Bill!! -- Regards Ken Uber 0411 096 804

We had all of those done while in the water in Martinique. Can't think of why you would have water in the boat for those items. Good luck, Daniel Carlson on sv BeBe, sv BeBe, SM #387,

Hi all, I want to replace my engine mounts, Vetus coupler and the C-drive mounts and then re-align the whole thing on my SM2k with a Yanmar 4JH3-TE. I’ve read/downloaded everything I could find on

Well done Bill and thank you. Great news for our entire community, as usual. Ian & Margaret Loca Lola II SM153

All, I am very pleased to announce that I am in direct contact with Philippe Gazzurelli, owner of ACMO France. His company has recently experienced difficulties beginning with COVID, then with Supply

I have always struggled to seal the forestry chainplate penetrations in our bow locker. It’s a difficult design to caulk, and it moves enough while sailing that even a perfect job has a short
