this is my first comment. I don't own an Amel - yet. I know Eric and his Kimberlite and that was my first inkling that Amel was the boat I might cruise in. Then i sailed on a new 55' Amel. Nice. So

gary i like your last posting.. Coniderations... Resale ! and docking ... I have my SM since 1993 never consider to sell my boat So pls explaine ; you sail a SM only for a small time and ??? Best

Steve, Shortly after we bought our Amel, the plotter at the helm (Furuno RDP 148) wouldn't work. I sent it to Furuno for repairs, and after testing it was unrepairable (no charge for this service).

I did tons and tons of research before deciding Cat vs. mono. My reasoning was bouncing back and for for several months but ultimately came down to a couple of safety considerations and a couple of

Thanks Kent!

BTW John, How's the internet there in Martinique? We're looking at moving aboard a Maramu based in Le Marin, but I need reliable internet for work. Are you familiar with the Maramu Hydrophile?

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I will give both gentlemen a call. All the best, Jacob

Alan, You should try the stuff, it is really amazing. Fair Winds Eric

Thanks Eric... Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Alan, What they are saying is that the joint should be completed before the Duralac dries. In other words, completely tighten down whatever you are bolting otherwise the exposed Duralac will harden

Porter, Having been through a hurricane in my 53 I would not buy anything but an AMEL. Cats are great in my opinion for cruising around the islands etc., but for blue water only an Amel. Does the
