Hi Alex , Peter an the group , I think on the first Amel 54 the Genua and trinquette had the Same Bamar furler = MEJ 1.02, later Amel 54 received for the genua the stronger MEJ 2.02. On our boat we

I really don't like those connectors. It sounds like they've caused a lot of damage on many boats when they fail...mine included. The crimped high pressure fittings are much less likely to fail and
