We’ve been rigging ours to the cleaner and then to the small winch. Rare that we have a circumstance where we need that winch, especially that the jib sheet has a jam cleat. My frustration is with

For me I find the furler is faster than the outhaul so I slack it a little first then run at the same time watching for too much tension in the sail CHeers Courtney Trippin 54#101

Hi All, It’s dumb (but short) question time regarding furling an Amel in general. Are the furler and outhaul geared to use simultaneously? or is it an alternating actuation type maneuver in which

Ulrich I gave you a link to an English translation by Amel of an Amel document. The only mention of "bastaques" is in the file name of the document. I am sure that Amel is referring to runners or

THX Bill, Hi all, are there also French Amelians in the group, they are able to assist? this is great and very fast response and help. But please are so kind and let us understand: What should be a

With the help of a really great 55 client, I have a copy of the instructions for Amel 55 backstays. I attached it here. Amel 55 backstay installation.pdf Bill

My guess is that when you inspect the battens you will find some permanently twisted and possibly cracked. BTW, I am totally 100% against battens, and they will be most dangerous when you really get

Hi David, In Kristy, an SM, I also have vertical battens. The angle of the boom is critical, on Kristy it has to be close to 90d. You'll have to find WilnaGrace's sweet spot. I always stand in the
