Hi when Sailing in summer in the Med be sure you have lots of fuel as winds tend to be light. The sail speed in light will be 3-4 knots. Normal sailing in 10-15 knots you'll see 6-7 hull speed. Enjoy

Hi,   I have owned a Mango (#51, 1985) for the last 7 years and presently sail the caribean after 2 years in the Med.   I had to revamp the bowthruster, which was  difficult to do because of siezed

Hi Dave, I do have a high-cut Yankee 110 % genoa that is great in anything over ~15 kts, but haven't led the sheets inboard to get a better pointing angle.  I haven't heard of anyone doing that on an

Kent, Since you seem to spend a lot of time hard on the wind, have you considered adding a proper upwind sail? Standard Amel genoas are notably poor upwind and the outboard chainplates don't help.

On most of the newer boats there is an "anti-torque" device that was either installed during manufacture, or retro-fitted.  I believe that this was designed to prevent such problems.  I don't know

Bon jour, Jean Paul. Welcome and congratulations on your new Maramu.  I have a SuperMaramu, but I suspect the boats are very similar in passage-making speeds.  I have always averaged about 6 knots

I am also a new Mango owner, # 63 of 1987. I would be interested in any info about the bow-thruster as I believe this to be a somewhat "weak point" or at least a high-maintenance issue. Did you

Hi all I am en new Maramu owner (Maramu 203) but I have never sailed on an Amel. This summer I'll sail from Tunisia to Malt, Syracuse and Corfu. The first trajectory is about 195NM. I know it depends

Hi take a look at the application chart it will show you what you need. Raymarine has done us well on our SM if it died we'd get another. Regards for sale in Annapolis Richard Piller Cell 603 767
