Hi Teun, Actually the extra weight in the chain locker (if it physically fits) may not be so bad as most 54s are a bit tail-heavy and could do with some leveling. Arno SV Luna, A54-121

Bryce, What price did you get for the 100m CROMOX and where would it be delivered/purchased? Best Regards Teun A 54 2009 #128 September 13, 202013:08:18

Last paragraph from Arno below is why, after my initial negative reaction, I decided to take the expensive CROMOX optioninto consideration. Many of my recent (much, much more expensive and not

Joerg, I think you ask a great question. The only information that I have been able to find regarding anything remotely close to answering the question of what actually happens if you keep LiFePO4

Hi Joerg, Actually these cars do not charge to 100% on daily basis. Other then Tesla you are not allowed the top 5 percent of the charge meaning you can only charge to 95%. Typically Supercharging

The discussion here is always interesting but I wonder about the following. There are a lot of electric cars out there which are charged to 100% SOC every day, right? How do their BMS deal with it?

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

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. .

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

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

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

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

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... I also

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. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt A50/#27

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

Cheers Nick, All pretty much along with my line of thinking. Its not a cheap exercise so good to have confirmation from others i'm on the the right track. Bryce SM 2K #467

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

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,
