Arno, You are well on your way to a solution. What about the drain path of the gutter around the hatch? Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School - www.AmelOwnersYachtSchool.com 720 Winnie

Thanks Colin. I don't really deserve that praise. I am simply a guy who sailed an Amel, came to love the Amel brand, and is a little hardheaded. The sub-group idea came from Mark McGovern, owner of

Ha ha, you have described our lazarette! Thanks, Arno, good stuff and looks like a good solution to me which I will implement. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98

Dear forum, I'm on a bit of a quest to get my forward locker dry. So far I have identified/remedied 6 sources of water ingress: 1. Locker hinges are not very well embedded in Sikaflex causing

Hi Paul, Please find the enclosed pictures. I still need to paint them... I have painted the vertical part of the emergency tiller black because it was not looking well anymore, the galvanization had

Thanks for your excellent idea Bill of creating a subgroup (hopefully an easily clickable tab?) which we could all click on to see anything which could be thought to have a "commercial" focus, but

Agreed. This site is an invaluable source of information concerning Amel yachts, and I consider myself a prospective Amel buyer who is yet to find “the one”. This site has reinforced to me the

Bill & Joannna, Though we have exchanged a few emails this past year since meeting you in St. John , while you were still on your old boat, Diane & I would like to congratulate you on your new boat

Hi Bill and Joanna, We met Cloudstreet(and Joe) in the Bahamas. Our SM is of the same vintage. You have a well caredfor boat. Congrats! Hope to meetCloudstreet and you both out here sometime

Congratulations. I can't wait to meet you face-to-face. I have known all of the previous owners of your Amel. They all were very good owners. Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School -

Welcome to the group Doug. We looked at Aventura back in 2014 but the deal did not go through. We also saw her in Turkey where we purchased Kokomo. She was very clean and well cared for. Wishing you

Congratulations and Cheers 🥂 Courtney svTrippin Grenada We will be in Martinique the end of the second week of February

We have recently bought Cloudstreet, a 2001 SM 2000. We have been Amel web followers for several years and just jumped in. You may have met us. We have cruised the Eastern Caribbean for the past 10

First time emailer to the group. Love it! Stalking and learning, first, and now one of those newbie owners! Purchased last month, after quite a few months of reading old email threads. Keeping it

Bill, Looking forward to this solution as Iam interested in other than mechanical truly AMEL related issues/items whether T-shirts, Vlogs, Blogs, books etc. Best Regards Teun SV AMELIT A54

Thank you Porter! We are in the middle of closing on our Amel Mango now. This user site totally convinced us of the value Amel represents and appreciating the Amel Cult following. We are confident

Courtney and Porter, Agreed 100%. I could not have said it better. Almost a year ago, when we moved to the groups,io platform, we made it clear that our group included Amel owners and those

I agree with Porter But let’s self limit some of the strong opinions that get expressed especially those new non owners Sincerely Courtney svTrippin 54 #101 Grenada 🇬🇩

It was being a lurker on this forum years ago which confirmed, for me, that an Amel was the right boat for our family. Now 3 years in and 20,000 miles later I’m so thankful, not only for the fine
