Tony, Did you have the fuel tank cleaned and fuel polished in BVI or elsewhere? Our boat is also currently lying in BVI and we would like to do the same. We won't be back down there until May. Will

Hello Gary, What a good idea! Of course I would start bt reaing the engine down only to fine the fuel shut off valve half closed!!! I am in Paramaribo, Suriname at the moment, but will return to

I am going to buy my first Amel : a 1989 Maramu but there is only on board genoa, mainsail and mizzen. I wonder if it is better to buy an asymmetrical spinnaker or a ballooner ? Do you also think

Hi Michael Nice to hear from a Mango owner; there don't seem to be too many of us participating in the forum. I wouldn't describe myself as an expert, but am happy to help you with some

Dennis, I am doing the same thing, and trying to figure out what was intended to be bonded to what in my maramu as well. I didn't know that there was a bonding ground attached to the rudder until I
