Paul: I fitted an Aluminum Spade Anchor - Model # 1294552 - (?? weight I am guessing about 55 lbs) in 2008. It has set the first time every time since and the only time it dragged was when I had

Martin, Although I feel sorry for you and your experience, the Amel Yacht Owners Group is a not place to post one side of what is at least a 4 or 5 sided situation (you, owner, broker, Amel, and VAT

Hello to All, I joined the group some months ago but this is my first post. I don't have my Amel yet but already have need of your advice. After searching for some months I recently decide to

Fit was good. I did not anchor much, but the previous owner was very happy with it. I don’t know if a larger one would fit. May be they have a printable layout like some companies do. The good

Alexandre How was the fit? do you think a bigger one would fit as well? Paul

Good afternoon Paul, I had the Spade 160 (77 lbs). Sincerely, Alexandre Formely SM2K #289 NIKIMAT

Hi Paul, After researching extensively I have decided to demote my WASI 30kg to the second anchor, sell my Delta 40Kg, the current 2nd anchor and buy a Spade 160 which is 37kg, as my primary anchor.

Hello Paul, I am a bit surprised your Rocna is not working as you expect; ours was brilliant (on our previous boat) even with a 180 degree wind shift. Does yours have the roll over bar? I had a CQR

We have Spade on our Santorin, so no help here on sizing for you, but i will say that we are planning on switching to 25 kg Rocna as i feel the Spade can be difficult to set in harder packed sand, (

I'd look into an ultra. It's what we're upgrading to from the rocna. No roll bar, able to oversize, mud doesn't stick.... Sounds perfect except the price.

We have lost confidence in our Rocna anchor, it served us well for over two years, but this season we have dragged several times, It happens when wind shift 180 degree, then we have slowly slipped

My wife just covered this area with Brisa ultra leather (distressed chamois is the color) in the same pleated pattern as is used in the master stateroom. We attached it with Velcro as is done in

We had an alloy weldment made up from alloy stock and had it welded to the boom (like the 54) so we never will have this issue again. I don't know why Amel decided to use these blocks and the flimsy

Hi Paul, I did the same thing on Kimberlite as the fixture on the mast was cracked. I bought a piece of flat aluminum stock And installed it with I think 4 or 6 allen head cap screws. Looking

Hello Eric, My apologies if I was not clear. The blocks in the attached photo are the attachment points for the main sheet on the main boom. The block to the right in the photo was cracked, wiggled,
