Hi Nick, yes we did this for some weeks. This is my emergency scenario if the outhaul doesn't work. It works well (stronger then the electric motor), but it is not that comfortable (extra sheet,

Hi, I'm not sure how that would work. You would need to put the purchase on both sides of the outhaul to keep keep the line speed the same on both sides of he outhaul. That would give you even more

In a previous post about a month ago I asked if any owners would like to join in a group buy of new rub rail inserts. I had several responses ,a few from as far as Australia to the Med. I urged them

Hello, I am in London, Pen Azen in Greece. When we get on board ( next month !) I will need to replace the Dowty seal on the bolt just beneath the prop, from which drains the oil in the leg. Does

thanks!

Hi Jamie, I just replaced ours that was 18 years old. The original was still good when I removed it and there was very little corrosion inside the manifold. I did not like the plastic hose fitting at

Jamie I had same issue on my SM. I sprung a leak while sailing - a small but persistent pin hole leak in manifold base between nipples. I applied old standby - JB Weld - as temporary fix. When I

hi guys would one of you mind sharing some photos of the problem area and your solutions? Cheers Courtney Trippin 54#101

Jamie, I built a new one from off-the-shelf bronze fittings and a short piece of reinforced hose in the middle. Two years on and no problems, and it will be much easier to repair next time as it

Hello Jamie, I had the same issue on my manifold. It looked like some kind of electric corrosion, as the worst corroded part at the fridge connector side is the point where the ground wire

I want to report a serious issue regarding the raw-water manifold that feeds the refrigerator, anchor wash, AC, and watermaker pumps on my A54. As I was servicing the sea chest strainer and cleaning

Hi, Laurens, we have long thought about which sailmaker is suitable for us.In the end, we decided on Incidences, because they took over all original cuts of the predecessor company Demme and are also

Hi Ian, As Arno, James and Bill point out, there could be several sources but your suspicion does seem likely, notwithstanding new mounts. You can easily check if it is a bad engine mount, though.

Hi Ulrich, We’re getting also more problems with a jammed main. Probably it’s because the sails getting older and more out of shape (like most of the skippers 😜). We’re also planning new

Peter, my Amel 54 # 14 was the best and most satisfying boat I have ever owned. The only thing worse than selling it would have been keeping it but not being able to enjoy it in the manner it was

Hi Arno, Thanks for sharing your solution regarding the backstays. Will try it out. But even with this solution one need to still go out the cockpit to unhook the hanging hook. Bill’s solution

Coming back to the boat I find refrigerator not cooling. I can hear fun running and compressor as well. But the plate not cold. I do not have any instructions on board for the refrigerator. On my
