Re: Anchor sizing
Germain Jean-Pierre. Do you think the 45 will fit on a SM? Also did you need to change the bow roller when you put on your 35 Ultra

Re: Sharki genoa top furling device blocked
Morning Volker.
I am wondering if you have ideas about storing your dinghy. We have a Portland Pudgy [hard shell dink].
We abandoned the notion of using a rib. Just did not seem worth the trouble. .

Re: Anchor sizing
I was looking at doing the same, running the s/s Cromox on the main anchor and a short length of chain to the existing Wasi as the secondary anchor.
Great advice from fellow Amelians as always, thanks

Re: Anchor sizing
The chain came with the boat. It is Amel supplied and regrettably only 316L (it is WASI-chain I have just learned) so not suitable for long term anchoring. The main anchor is all chain. The secondary

Re: Anchor sizing
Nice setup there, are you using two 100m lengths of S/S chain there? If so do you find the weight an issue?
Not to mention cost! I just enquired about 100m of Chromox 10mm, makes the anchor look

Re: Anchor sizing
Bear in mind that most Amel 54s have two anchors on the bow. I never understood the choice of Amel to have a WASI and a Delta as default choices. These two really do not play along very well at the

Re: Anchor sizing
The problem with the Ultra 45 Kg is that it costs over £3000
Whilst the Galvanised 44 kg Spade runs at £1500.
Having once lost an anchor (in the Galapagos) I believe that to be a factor...

Re: Anchor sizing
We have the Ultra 45. Best anchor yet after owning a Rocha and Delta before that.
And we did have the 42 kn squall at anchor and didn’t budge.

Re: Anchor sizing
The Ultra appears more common and popular than I had imagined. My only complaint is a relative lack of choices in sizing, 35 to 45 KG is quite a jump. I guess in those times where dropping the anchor

We have a 35kg ultra with the ultra swivel. As a RTW couple, we anchor 10 to 11 months a year.
To date, we have never dragged anchor... but we are very careful about setting our anchor. The Ultra is

Re: Anchor sizing
On my 54 Amel provided a 33kg Wasi, that I feel is slightly undersized for such a vessel. I also think the WASI, although a good anchor, is now out of date and has limited holding power. On board,

Re: Anchor sizing
Thanks Randall, the 45 ULTRA was my original choice and after looking at it I'm sure it will get a few grins/smirks on the dock. Though along your line of thought I would rather have the peace of mind

Slight rewording.
If you don't want to ever end up on youtube for the wrong reason, bigger is better. Your Wasi was chosen by Amel as a good size and would do fine. But for peace of mind. the

Anchor sizing
At the risk of opening a hornets nest I am replacing my 30kg Wasi Bugle anchor with one of the newer breed of anchors. My query is not about which brand or shackles or style though rather
