Re: performance differences
Hi Ken, sorry for the late reply but as an owner of a recent Amel 55, I wanted to share a few thoughts with you. I have not sailed a A53 or A54, and I bet Joel's extensive summary of the differences

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] performance differences
Joel, owning a 55 and sailed with owners of earlier Amel, I would have to agree your synopsis is 100% accurate, although I would prefer the sea kindliness of an 54, I am still enamoured with the 55

No, it is a match to waterline color of the Amel 55.
