Paul, We did look at the two SNs for sale in Martinique. The one with the Mitzubishi engine has been on a mooring, untouched, for a year and a half and is essentially a complete fixer-upper. If one

Hi Everyone, Given recent postings on the WOB and my experience about a month ago I think it is a good time to post regarding an experiemental WOB that I had received from Amel. I had received it in

Hi Paul, I am new to the group as well and looking for my Amel. I saw the two Santorin's in Martinique and was wondering what your impressions of the two were? How did the one with the MItsubishi
