Hello Arno; I second Bill's comments. In our long search for a 54 we sawmany examples. If properly maintained, Amels maintain their factory fresh lookfor a very long time. When we purchased our 54,

Hi, At anchor at times I unroll a bit of the mizzen and sheet it hard in the center. It helps hold the boat into the wind and waves. Likewise when running flat off with the twin headsails if there is

Dear group, We have recently taken up the quest to find an Amel 54 for our future cruising plans. We joined this group hoping some of you can help us with this daunting plan. So last week we had a

Ciao all... I am in the final stages of getting a SM and for my first question on this form, I had a silly one.... anyone try using some kind of flopper stopper from the jib/code 0 poles at anchor?

Alexandre, have just changed my yahoo email setting, hence your problem. Can you advise me if you still have the rudder spares the nut and packing, also the spanner? If so will liaise delivery with
