Hmmmm. We are in alaska and Canada west in September. By big Bird. Will look a a diversion for the biggest Amel party yet. Its a long shot so don't hold your breath. Danny

Hi dean. Ive operated diesels all my life. Most not vommon rail l acknowledge. However believe I can offer something here. Overloaded diesels smoke. The throttle opening delivers more fuel than can

So Bill what about solar power and LED lighting? Henri Amel never embraced either. Nick Amelia (54) in the Canary Islands. Enjoying not being a slave to the batteries.

Hi Arthur 100m chain plus 200 m rope attached with splice. 35 kg rockna Yes I have a swivel. Many say it's not needed. Regsrds Danny SM 299 Ocean pearl

Hi guys, I noticed today a small amount of leakage from the cap of my C-Drive reservoir. This was after a fast 3 hour motor at 2100rpm into a F3 and choppy sea. I guess the transmission was working

Related to recent discussions on this....an informative article on chain vs chain and rope in deeper anchoring. BTW gotta love Steve Dashew -- 3/8" 10mm chain and a 110kg 250lb Rocna--anyway--

We have 100m of Maggi Aqua 4 chain and 200m of rope. We have only had to use the rope twice and that was in 30+ knots in French Polynesia. We would prefer not to use the rope if at all possible. When
