Pretty much the last thing you will ever do on an Amel is polish your way through the gelcoat! We have the hull sides lightly polished and waxed annually, and we wax the deck, deck hardware, rig, and

Hi y'all, A cosmetic question: When we had our first plastic boat, 45 years ago, I used to clean and polish the life out of the hull and deck. I used Cif, a household cleaner, plus a variety of boat

From my Amel Book (Amel Book online subscription is as low as $100/year): SM Bonding Strap Replace.pdfI have a page for the 54 which is similar. The SN, 55, and probably Maramu are also

Dear all, Perhaps some of us had not sufficient time and patience to watch the video through the end: at a certain point the speaker more or less says “beautiful ? No, it’s only a fake and I’ll

Hi group sometimes good news can be shared :-) just received the new sails (main and mizzen, pro radial) from QSAILS. They arrived just in time and look great. We ordered in February, agreed deadline
