Hi Ian & Judy, I will write it up very shortly including a recommendation when ordering a new coupling from Amel. I am just waiting for a response from Maud before doing so. Where

It should be obvious ,but for those anchoring in St. Michaels for the first time. The boats will anchor one deep following the shoreline in order to stay out of the channel ,especially closer to town.

Miles, It is always a problem to follow a previous owner who either did not document changes and/or did not label wires. I am sure that you will act differently. The best way to label a wire is with a

Just to say that I’ve now managed to trace the problem. Luckily one of the cabin lights had new cable with unusual colours so I managed to follow that to locate the fuse Sadly these lights are

Its done nothing but rain here on the Eastern Shore since spring , about 20" above normal for the year. So I have been concerned about the weather for our meet. I just saw the seven day, and starting

Hi Mohammad, hi Aty, I stay in the Marina Lefkada in Lefkda for many years. It is a very safe place with nice people and some companies, which can provide service. It might be not the cheapest

Has anyone else had the need to re-seal the lens into one of the Goit deck hatches? I just had one pop loose. I've reset the lenses of other brands before, bedding them down in silicone, but just

Hi everyone; We are looking at leaving our boat in the Greek Ionian for this winter. We would appreciate all input about possible locations. We will not be wintering on board, so we are mainly

Definitely agree with Mark (as always), Therefore I would be concerned with the Volvo D3-110 lack of reliability, I am sure you have read the issues on this forum or the (FB) Amel Owner Group. Because
