we are considering purchasing an Amel 55 in Europe and would be very interested in feedback from owners. Our plan is to live onboard for extended periods & sail the boat back to Australia.

Re: New sails
To whom this may concern,
We had a 135% headsail built by Elvestrom in S France and were not pleased. Luff 8cm too long initially, and foot too full making good trim of foot and leach impossible.

Re: New sails
As I put in an earlier reply, we are not pleased with our sails from Q-sails that we bought three ears ago, therefore we are already in the market for a new set of sails.

Re: New sails
We have sails from Q sails that we bought three years ago, can't say we are pleased with them on the contrary, would not buy from them again.

QSails, rocks!
35 Amel owners buying from QSails is powerful. I am proud to say that BeBe SM 387 was the first of 35.

Thank you, Danny! We will definitely take a close look at the swivel regarding the tongue and nylon pencil. We very much appreciate the specialty Amel knowledge here!

Re: New sails
We received a new Genoa, Ballooner, and mizzen ballooner from Q sails a few months ago. The sails are excellent quality and fit, and the service was great as well.

Just got my quote from Q Sails in Izmir. While shipping to Maryland is about $400 US, the pricing seemed quite competitive for a full set of hydranet. Q Sails states that they have provided about 35

Re: SSB antenna mount
Alex,
I believe that you can epoxy the two pieces together. I like JB Weld for this project.
