Alan, You are one of the best Amel owners I know with extensive knowledge and extremely experienced. Your knowledge and experience are far beyond the average sailor. A large portion of my SM & 54

This is what can happen if the mainsail is not furled properly. It's not the batten's fault. This batten has been twisted around the mast foil and consequently broke. It got twisted and broke

This is indeed good information. I will contact the agent in Panama 🇵🇦 Envoyé de mon iPhone -- Juan de Zulueta OPHELIE X Super Maramu #32

Hello Juan, we had Roy Bravo from Emmanuel Agencies as an agent for the Panama Canal and can really recommend him. His linehandlers are very experienced too. emmanuelagencies@... We liked

Yes, I have owned both. Amel makes their own in-house-designed masts. Beneteau buys off-the-shelf masts from the lowest bidder. Amel designed its electric and manual furling system. The SM didn't

Eric, the in Mast Furling is not a problem but a big advantage of the Super Maramu since it helps you to steer your boat from the cockpit alone in all see conditions. we have been sailing with my wife

Try living in the tropics with your Amel. You will find this annoyance on daily basis. We remove the cushion during the night to allow the moisture to evaporate. There is a 40+ degree Celsius

Hi Eric , I would not hesitate to use an Amel main furler . We have done so in both a Maramu (5 years ) and an SM (21). Close to 100,000 miles . Often abused , including furling a partly reefed main

Our boat is currently in Carriacou, Grenada innTyrell bay marina until October. We are planning to cross the Pacific Ocean via Panama and Galapagos with another Amel boat friend around May 2022. i

Hi Doug; I have not opened ours in a while, but believe we have what bill has sent. Respectfully; Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo Amel 54 #099

Hello, Mastervolt indicates in the documentation that the power must be reduced from 100 ° and the alternator stopped at 125 °. The problem with the temperature sensor is that it cannot be attached
