Hello Bill, I have downloaded the ZOOM app. What else do I need to do? If I want to show pictures during the meeting, how do I do that? Thanks for guiding me a bit. Olivier.

Paul, We've found our ebespacher quite effective in cold conditions. But what we found really useful in Scotland and the Baltic was an electric blanket. They don't use many amps, but make a

Ben Don't replace the bad battery until you have found the issue. Maybe it was a bad battery or a charging issue. If the latter, you risk damaging a replacement in the same way. Prior to crossing the

Ben, Some more info would help. When you say, "Basically only the alternators." - does that mean you have more than one engine alternator? When you say "I will change the battery ..." does that mean

Ahah, I’m learning the hard way the fun part of owning a boat. I heard a long time ago.... be the friend of someone who owns a boat. All it will cost you is a case of beer. Lol Yesterday I was on

I am sorry to hear that. Were you motoring or sailing? If you were motoring, have you checked your regulator on the alternator? Maybe you were overcharging? When you charge batteries you have to go

Good afternoon again Amel fellow group. I seem to have another problem on my Amel. I realized this week that my batteries were all dead after a year due to Covid of not being able to maintain the

Jamie, can you provide a Wayfair product number or link? With the description that you mention, I can't find anything on their site that resembles what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot, Alex NO STRESS

Bill, We do store our dingy a 10,5 feet AB, deflated on the after deck, it actually take "less space" than up side down, and it would not store very much water in the case of extremely rough weather.

Dear Forum, After some refresh/upgrade activities for the navigation equipment I'm left with several parts that are functional however no longer needed. Before putting this stuff on e-Bay I would like

Thanks Bill, some photos would be appreciated. We have the same AB. Michael Nebo sm251

Thank you all for your feed back, not sure how I will solve the issue yet, Paul

I bet Wayne Bell can tell you where you will find one. There are so many cisterns and wells on Antigua, you will probably have a choice of color.😀

Dinghies are such personal choices. And storage of rib’s can be a real pain. Obviously from the comments so far. We have kept our AB 9.5 foot aluminum hull rib athwartships on the aft deck. It

We had to replace ours as well. The housing cracked and there was no way to keep the bulb in place after the old one crashed and shattered on deck. We had no luck at all finding USA distribution for

Thanks Bill, I'll take a look around Antigua and see if I can find a replacement. Best regards, Daniel Carlson on sv BeBe, SM#387

We have German Infranomic infrared mirrors in both of our heads (replacing the mirrors over the sink) and they are outstanding. Instant heat, no moving parts, won't wear out, and large high quality

True, and doable, but be careful. Reversing valves are very sensitive to the heat of soldering/brazing. If done by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing, the reversing valve will be
