I seem to remember Olivier saying the triatic was a weather fax antenna sat here than HF. Also I thought he said that the triatic was not actually needed. I'm sure that statement will be corrected if

Mine only hauls chain on the backward pull, not the forward. Manual windlass especially usually haul in both directions. Hope this is what you're looking at. Ian Ocean Hobo SN96

Jimbo The Santorin is the easiest boat to handle that I have ever sailed, there isnt anything I cant do single handed. The hard parts, like marinas is made easy with the super efficient bow thruster;

Hi David, the boat is currently located in Florida and I'll be on it in the beginning of November. I have plans to be in the Caribbean for the winter and in the mediterranean next summer. Alex, SY

Jimbo, I love to sail Kimberlite singlehanded. My longest trip so far was a 12 day passage from St Marten to Long Island, NY. The only issue was waking every 25-30 minutes to take a look around and

Hi Jimbo, I don’t usually singlehand, but… When things are working, I never have to wake my partner during my watch for anything while we are underway, which was not true for my old boat. My

Dave, Craig on Sangaris posted a good description back in March on how to do this, you’ll find it back in the group archives. It’s not a very complex job. You can also learn some tricks on how

Alan, thanks for the quick reply - I thought so - that all the lines and it seems almost every control in a hands reach from the cockpit. If you need any help or otherwise when you get to Gulf Harbour

Hi Jimbo, You are on the right track! I've owned Kristy, 1999 SM for 8 years. I'm sailing her single handed quite a bit, and it's a breeze. Anchoring is a piece of cake, and with the bow thruster

I have begun to disassemble the windlass and rebuild it, there is a small oil leak. The windlass manual function has never worked since purchasing the boat (used). I insert the handle, I can pull it

Hello Jimbo, I have an Amel Super Maramu 2000 and I frequently sail solo....In 2013 I sailed Elyse by myself around Vanuatu and then from Vanuatu to New Caledonia ...staying awake is my only

Hi there all you fantastic Amel Owners - I hope to join you soon. I am based in Auckland New Zealand and sailed for most of my life. I have owned a number of yachts starting with a 25 footer, then

Thanks Alan, Fair winds, herbert SN120, KALI MERA

Trevor, Will upload pictures when back at the boat in november. We have the standard Amel Battery Monitor for all systems, then one special for the genset, for each of the three solar panels a
