Scott, Why do you use parallel - Is it to do with partial shading? Mine are in series to minimise loss in the cable as I have no space for thicker cables. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54

Mine has squeaks and creeks... it’s a boat! However comparing a Lagoon catamoron to an Amel is carp. :-).

Hi, could you please let me know if Amel boats, SM specifically, are quiet boats? I’ve chartered Lagoon catamaran last week and it was a noise generating machine at anchorage and during passages.

Scott, Thanks for that. Yes, I should have guessed the wires for the gauge! A for the possible slope I guess I could put a spirit level on and see what it averages out at. Cheers, Paul S/Y

Exactly correct Scott. Next power investment will be lithiums. Porter A54-152 Excuse the errors. Sent from my IPhone Www.fouribis.com

Thanks for the input everyone. We literally have resigned to having Sleipner New Zealand look at it, when we get there in November!! But the fact that two of you have experienced failures on the short

David, I have experience with LG Neon2 320w panels and that's it. I have 3 of them wired IN PARALLEL on my aft custom arch and run through a Victron BlueSolar MPPT into Victron LiFePO4 batteries and

Paul, Pretty sure fuel outlet is fore as that's where the Racors are. The forward hatch wires are for the electronic fuel gauge in the cockpit fuel locker. There's bit of a baffle. Just open up the

Mohammad, 1) I have a Highfield CL310 HYP as does Dean. The transom "lip" where the tubes are glued was bent when it arrived. Probably bad packaging. This is not the first time I have heard of this -

Mohammad, yes, I see that now. CW Bill Rouse

Hi Joerg; Thanks for the photos. Definitely a nice improvement to the Davits. The Davits on the 55 are closer spaced than the 54 and I believe are parallel and not at an angle like the 54. I think

Hi Bill; I know it appear that the outboard is reversed on the transom. But it is not. Take another look. Happy Sailing; Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo AMEL 54 #099

Joerg, That is an ingenious modification to the Simpson Davits. However, I noticed that the outboard motor is actually "inboard." Can you tell me the model and HP of this motor? Also, I assume that to

Hi Mohammad, I have the CL 340 in Hypalon and it's in good shape after 4 seasons in the Med. The French dealer in La Rochelle convinced me that Hypalon is the way to go for the Med/Caribbean. I

Hi all, I have noticed that there is sludge sticking to the bottom of the fuel dip stick. After enquiring about getting the tank cleaned I have some questions: Are there baffles in the tank

Mohammad, We have had the 340 for two seasons and have been happy with it. The one drawback when Med mooring is that the gangway can’t be deployed when the tender is on the davits. When

Hi Aty & Mohammad, I have experimented with several tenders (5 in total over 2 years) including 2 HIGHFIELDS and finally settled on a OCT (Offshore Cruising Tender – made in NEW ZEALAND) 350.

Thanks Wolfgang. The pictures are very helpful. What is the spacing between your Davits? On our factory installed Davits the lifting points are 210cm apart and I believe the bow of the CL310 will

Thanks Jamie. Keep in mind that the CL340 (same length as our current Zodiac) is wider than the stern and therefore does create issues when leaving the dock when docked stern to in tight quarters
