Hi Craig,
We like to keep cans and tools in the normally dry main bilge forward of the companionway slider so even a gallon of saltwater from a leaking companionway slider could do a lot of damage

Hi James,
Wow, that's some scary arithmetic, which I'm sure is correct. If you've got a 1 foot head of water on your companionway hatch for an hour (let's see, that's like over the cockpit seats), uh,

Bill Kinney,
You make some very good points. A 22mm hole at a 1' head could flow around 615 GPH if my calculations are correct so there could be conditions where this could allow a lot of water

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Companionway ( washboard ) rubber seal replacement?
Well, Biil, actually, a 22mm round hole - call it an inch in diameter - takes in very little rain water unless you make a funnel to it from a tarp, like in the old days when sailors collected rain

Hi Eric,
I get your point, but I'm really sure the catchment drain will more than compensate for any normal ingress from rain or deck washing or a rare cockpit pooping. Now, understand that I don't

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Companionway ( washboard ) rubber seal replacement?
As Bill R says, I think the weatherstrip is important to keep water out of the boat. If there is ANY gap, all the rain water that hits the surface of the slide will run down the surface of the slide

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Grenada summer insurance
Well said Bill,
the reality is that the insurers are distancing themselves from hurricane risk.Unfortunately many have policy wording that allows them to escape responsibility in many other

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Grenada summer insurance
Thanks Bill for sharing with us your finding and concerns regarding the insurance.
I was going to switch to Y Insurance, but will point that they also ask for a 1 piece crate, etc.
I promised I will

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Grenada summer insurance
Perhaps we could create a self insured entity with various levels of coverage for Amel owners only? A thought. And a good bit of work as well!

PantaeniusUSA has changed the language of their coverage for what they consider the "tropical storm zone." Unlike many insurance companies, they are still writing policies for that area of the world
