Hi David, Welcome to the Amel family. I own Amel 54 Hull No 154 so we may have a lot in common as our boats are almost twins. I don't choose to operate at WOT, but on testing (with a clean H6

Greetings all, I am, amongst other things, in the process of writing up some findings arising from the earlier failure of the transmission cooler for the Hurth ZF gearbox, as happened on approach to

Hi Fred, I have been sailing an A55 for 7 years, and am currently planning my delayed circumnavigation, had to make do with around Australia during Covid. I am struggling to see any benefit in the

You can buy a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum and cut the wrench out with a band saw ; it is very easy. Just remove the packing nut and use it as a guide. Attached is a photo of the wrench that I made .

Hi David, Thanks for this effort. I have a different set up for the main outhaul with my older SM so no need for the special puller. I am, however, very keen on the rudder packing nut wrench. I have a

Greetings, We hauled out just before Christmas, and decided to raise the waterline to the top of the red stripe, which was getting pretty orange. We decided not re-do the red stripe at this stage

Thank you very much for the document. Nice work ! Dominique Shaki 125, Cigale

It was exactly my dilemma . After test on A 50 it is more modern but I think less adapted for circumnavigation ( fridges are perpendicular to the axis as example )it is 1/3 to 50% more expensive than

I'm facing a pivotal decision on whether to purchase a new Amel 50 (contract delivery already Spring 2025) or a used Amel 55 (availability very limited and unknown in current market). The big

Hey all, I have recently removed and rebuilt the manual mainsail furler on my 1986 Sharki #133. I couldn't find any documentation on this procedure so I recorded my experiences in the attached word

David, The number one reason some Amel owners do not achieve RPM at WOT is the AutoProp is fouled. If only one barnacle finds just the right spot on only one blade, the blade will pitch too deep and

Thanks Mohammad and Nick, very helpful information. Much appreciated. David
