It was being a lurker on this forum years ago which confirmed, for me, that an Amel was the right boat for our family. Now 3 years in and 20,000 miles later I’m so thankful, not only for the fine

There isn't so much traffic on it that it bothers me. And any on here are probably looking to buy an amel, and as some of us are selling their amels, maybe allowing amel owners and serious wannabes is

Mark and Paul. Spot on. More respect for ‘moderator’ Bill wouldn’t go amiss either. The forum is a non commercial, excellent resource for Amel owners, being information based and

I too support maintaining focus of this groups postings, the group is undoubtably a great resource and to receive valuable information with every post, however as there is so much email traffic

I have found many things are just not available from Amel. I have a 54 and it has the Passarella that you put on Manually. The holes and in need of replacing. Amel does not have them. Also I thought I

My 2 cents on this: I prefer not tohave my feed from this group junked up with people selling Amel shirts, bookson Amel travels, blogs with Amel owners, video channels featuring Amels etc.

I am with Brian and most of the others in support of Julie's posting. Her book is about sailing an Amel and that makes all of the difference. I too would not have known about it without

I do not think anyone argued the value of Julie's book. Some people wrote to me about it because they felt it was too commercial. "Too" is in the mind of individuals i We are currently working on a

Hi Micky, I would love to give you that feedback, but we don’t step aboard until mid March. I would give a full report after that, though..... ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Hi Matt , Thanks for letting us know what Amel have fitted to your boat , could you comment on how effective it is and in what situations you use it , ie berthed in home marina , visiting other

Hi Kelly. Sorry we missed you guys in the Boston area this summer. Not quite sure what is meant by other AMEL-adjacent pursuits. I have seen several forum members who are quite active, who provide

I’m sorry Kelly. I did mean you then! I guess I’m used to seeing Ryan and made the leap. Nice to meet you! Great minds and all that..... Brent Cameron, Future Amel owner & Amel Owner's Registry

I've got both books in my Amazon cart now, and I'm looking forward to reading them. I would have never known about these two books without the blurb on here. I'm throwing my hand up in support of this

Hi Brent, I believe you were responding to me (Kelly), not my husband Ryan. We're both active on this list. Glad to hear we're in agreement, though. LOL! kelly (and ryan) SM233 Iteration Boston

I also bought both books after seeing them advertised through this forum. Reading of another couple who sailed their Amel SM around the world is both informative and inspiring. After all this forum is

Amel currently installs the World Pepwave, combined WiFi, 3g, 4g system. At least that is what they installed on our boat, completed last September. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Ryan, I fully agree with you on this. I also read her first book and found it quite interesting… especially the parts about buying the Amel at the factory in La Rochelle and their very first

David, since you seem to be so interested in having an external LTE antenna (which I've never found the need for), might I suggest you get one of those hockey-puck portable hotspots? I've had good

FWIW I appreciated the original post. I bought Julie's first book and will consider buying the sequel. I had some minor quibbles with the first book, but in general, it was a pleasant read. I should
