Thank you to all who have answered. I called and spoke to the Link 10 / Mastervolt people, they confirm that the the Mastervolt is not a regulator. Gary, I now have four of the eight batteries that

Spanish Marinas in August are at their most expensive and it is the busiest time, but after mid September they become much cheaper and easier to get berths. Many yachts over winter in Barcelona there

Hi Gary, where are you in St Maarten? We will be in Phillipsburg Sun the 18th for one day. We will be getting our 54 and would love to chat with you. Can we have a coffee? Richard and Linda

Hi, Marinas in Spain now tend either to be expensive, and full, or if a reasonable price then just full. Two you could try are Almerimar and Aguadulce, both are at the bottom end of the price

Though it's not in Spain, the Lagos Marina in the Portuguese Algarve is a great place to safely leave your boat. We sailed there in the summer of 2000 and noticed that many Europeans and especially

We are making our first crossing May 1 in our 1985 Maramu. We hope to end up in Spain sometime in Aug. after a while in the Azores. We would appreciate any info on marinas for next winter. Not

I am thinking of taking my AMEL 54 to Trinidad during the June to November hurricane season. I am looking for a list of marina's that members who have been to Trinidad would recommend. Also, any

Dimitris In the best spirit of friendship, here is a hyperlink to the "Xantrex Link 10 Battery Monitor" Owner's Manual. Nothing in the manual refers to control or regulation and, having

Fred, we are here in the US with a very good Amel 46 for sale. We are how the owner of two boats, both Amel's. I have had a very serious shoulder problem(S) that have forced us into/onto a bigger

Hello to all and thank you to the list owner for accepting me as a member of your group. In the process of moving up in yacht size I have placed Amels on my short list. I'm in Brisbane, Australia
