I had a three piece awning made in Deltaville, VA by The Ship's Tailor. There was considerable on-site tweaking so I don't know if they would have a blueprint for the finished product. It was ~$800

Hi Scott, if you search the site you will find photos and a description of how we did ours. Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl. Almost on way to Fiji from Opua NZ ________________________________ To:

We are wanting to fabricate a full awning for our Super Maramu, and happen at present to be in a western Caribbean backwater without a local canvas shop. Does anyone out there have

Non at all, and I don't think the purpose is to conquer out the Yahoo forum. I am NOT the creator of the FB group. As I see it, it is just an other place on the Internet where you can meet Amel

I've never been into Facebook.  What are advantages over the Yahoo group?  I'd hate to have to go to several places to see what has been posted. Thanks, Kent SM

Hi all! If you are on Facebook, do you know that there is a Amel Yacht Owner group there? At present there are only 22 members but since we are many more Amel owners I thought it could be

Yep grab hold when the mike is keyed and if you are lucky you'll only get blistered burn not a black hand. RF at 150 watts is like being inside a microwave oven. When we are going to use the SSB

Hi Peter. DCS comes over the VHF as will as the SSB each by way of the standard antenna. No special one needed. Regards Richard Piller Cell 603 767 5330

Lior, Yes the locker opposite the mizzen mast and just in the forward side of that bulkhead. The wire that comes down the mizzen is a coax. If you earth the coax shield at the tuner, it won't act

It's my understanding that the whip works fine for sending and receiving. I went with the back stay because the whip was in the way when hauling the boat out. One less thing to deal with when

Kent, Many thanks fir that but question do you also have a whip antenna - which would be for receiving the reply to a DSC distress call? Peter Carango 54 #35 Goçek Turkey Peter Forbes 07836

I am using the starbord backstay. There is an "ideal" length for the antenna, seems like I remember 23 ft? That leaves plenty of room to put the lower insulator high enough to keep it out of reach.

That is a very good point about grabbing the back stay - it would be irresistible. Thank you Peter Carango Amel 54 - 35 Best wishes *Peter Forbes* +44 (0) 7836

I will concede to Eric regarding his experience using a whip antena to transmit from Lisbon to Canada. Another downside to using the mizzen stay as an antenna is that it is hard to resist grabbing on

Hello Eric, Awesome looking sprit. Very clean installation. Can you give any info about materias thicknesses? Best regards, Ullar Euros41 #250

Dear Alan Thank you so much for your mail. That's exactly what I asked if it would work. All the professional people that I asked told me that it would not work because the antenna wire

On our supermaramu there is a thick green/yellow cable that runs from the ground foil in the lazarette along the starboard side to the nav station...it had BLU handwritten on it and was connected to

Here follows a copy of an interesting article about the length of the active antenna above the Automatic Tuning Unit. I personnaly use around 41 feet for my isolated backstay on HamRadio bands. jcglt

Thanks so much all you guys for all the very kind and helpful comment. Please keep it coming. My beautiful 54 hull # 35 is called "Carango" -I just bought it on Friday - life's dream. I hope I meet
