I enjoyed your photos. I will take photos of our Sharki and post for you to see. We gutted our galley as the wood was water damaged. Now we have an all stainless galley with 3 sinks and no seams

I've noticed on my Sharki that furling and unfurling (nonelectric) both my mizzen and main sails takes a bit more effort. I've dropped both sails to inspect the hardware. The Amel halyard swivels on

After three months on the hard, we are preparing to relaunch MALAIKA II in Kusadasi, Turkey and plan to spend the next few years in the Eastern Med (Turkish/Greek Water, etc.)and are wondering if

NOW THAT MY SM IS IN THE CARIBBEAN I WONDER HOW OTHER BOATS ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE 220 VOLT POWER @ 60 CYCLE. I DON'T NEED TO RUN THE WATER MAKER, DISHWASHER, WASHING MACHINE, BUT HAVE USED THE BATTERY

ABLE CHARGER You can use 220 60 hz for everything on the boat except, clothes washer, dish washer and microwave. Im not sure about the watermaker. A/C and battery charger are OK. PS You should

I have a 1989 Maramu with a Perkins Prima 60 diesel engine. Has anyone replaced this engine in an Amel? Can you suggest a replacement engine? Any advice for me with this project? Any lessons

What kind of shore power plug is needed in US and Caribbean marinas? (For instance, 30 Amp or 50 Amp?) We have been in Europe since 1997, and don't know what is standard in American

marinas? 1997, You are going to find one or the other amperage at the various marinas depending on the age of the marina and what size boats they can accomodate. Our last marina only had 30 AMP.

Hello Arnold and Delores & Gene, Your input is very helpful. Our SM is 1997 vintage, with both 220V & 120V input (the latter via step-up transformer). We have gotten used to the variety of

It occurred to me after the last e-mail that as important perhaps as the the electrics is gas for your range. It may be that there is butane available in the blue campgas bottles somewhere in the

Rich, We have not found a secret compartment on our Sharki. When we bought our boat, Joel told us that all Amels had a secret compartment. He didn't tell us where one is. I will have to email

Am on the verge of buying a SM, if nothing else the design of the boat has sold me, it is amazing; they seem to have thought of everything! The only area that I wonder about is ventillation. Oddly

I also had a perkins prima on my 1992 SM . The engine had a overheating problem that I could not correct. We came to the conclusion that the engine had a design problem. I understand that it was

David, I might also suggest that you read the recent article in Practical Sailor Volume 28 Number 3 February 1 2002. It ranks all the major diesel engines from the perspective of mechanics.Page 14

I HAVE SM # 347, LAUNCHED 11/5/01. SHE HAS THE LARGER WATERMAKER BY DESSALATOR (150 LITERS/HOUR) & WORKS QUITE WELL. HOWEVER AT JUST OVER 11 HOURS ON THE WATERMAKER, I LOST BOTH LOW & HIGH PRESSURE

Hi I have the same watermaker. It is imperative that you run it on a consistent basis. If you leave it for a long time you should pickle it. I went as far as having it removed and stored, since I
