Thank you Jean-Pierre. I spent 3 seasons in the S. Pacific with my previous boat, Lagoon 450. I used NZ for off season, which was ideal. I had an unforgettable time... I plan to go again with my A50.

I just recently signed up with Novamar thru the broker Mark on Cream Puff recommended. For $360,000 agreed value including dinghy and $10,000 in personal goods, with coverage including Grenada for

Our original Amel chain counter had always worked perfect till we arrived in the Caribbean. I tried everything to fix it myself to no avail then asked Amel here in Martinique who put me onto Pouchon

We've been to Samana twice and also Luperon. It definitely feels like a police state and this is the last place in the Caribbean I would want to have a problem with customs. The Army, Navy,

Hi Tom, I don't know how the stock chain counter works, but I was able to fix the one on our boat (I don't think it's original) by duct taping a magnet to the windlass. I'm unsure if the original

It really was a great time with lots of things provided by the sponsors. All of the sponsors want to do it again with the same or increased investment. The marina told me that they will sponsor a bus

I like the look of the Ultra and do not doubt it is a superb anchor but .....,,££$$$.....it is an expensive bit of kit that I would not want to lose. The 45 kg retails for about £3000 in the UK.

Hello Theo, I’ve had a ULTRA since 2015. It has yet to drag if set properly. It is the 35 KG version. I’ve gone from Turkey to New Zealand in the meantime ; it’s a good looking piece of SS

Hi Kent, Here is the blurb from Howes—I use Meaner power cleaner. I have not noticed the mustache on my port side after using this and changing my injectors. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel

Thank you! I hope the Ultra works as good as it looks. I wasn't looking for a SS anchor but Amel told me that anchors with bars wouldn't fit the A50. So, we'll see... I've used Manson Supreme and

Back in Feb 2016, I sailed from Turks & Caicos and also stayed in the Puerto Bahia Marina in Samana Bay. I had no problem. I read that there is a government law that when you check in a Marina,

Hi to the group, I stayed 3 weeks in the Puerto Bahia Samana Bay. The marina has all you need for Immigration. No inspection on board, very safe, clean and secured marina in a resort,so I could leave

Hi Kent, It looks like the general consensus is that the Racor system fitted is good and that I am indeed seeing gremlins that do not exist. Like you pvc pipe idea. Will do that. I am launching in

Hi Kent, Did you ever try Howes fuel treatment instead of Biobor?

Yes, agreed. We are so pleased to have been able to make it. What a wonderful event and opportunity to meet Bill and so many other good folk we have been communicating with on the forum over the past
