Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Anchor swivel
Hi Danny,
I'm not a fan of swivels unless they are really bullet proof, preferably bought from a commercial trawler co-op or similar.
The solution I was taught is to use two anchor shackles(

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Improvements to the Amel design.
Fellow Amel owners,
Don’t get me wrong. I love my 54 and think she is a great boat well engineered, and well built, which is why I own her.
I completely agree with Bill’s general philosophy.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Improvements to the Amel design.
Nick,
In 1985 solar and LED were not proven nor practical. Today Amels come with LED. I am not sure Henri would have used any of the solar solutions I have seen. I believe his objections would have

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Improvements to the Amel design.
To be fair Henri was pretty old in 2005. So one should not expect him to have kept up to date, but that is my point. His general philosophy was sound but as with everything time and tide waits for

Re: Improvements to the Amel design.
I agree with Alexandre. In my view, I’m sure Henri would have embraced both solar and LED technology at the appropriate time. As you indicate Nick, they have tremendous upsides and no significant

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Improvements to the Amel design.
If I may step in, I think Mister Henry Tonnet (as we know as Amel, which is his resistance name during WWII) passed away in 2005.
I think back then, solar, LED and all we take for granted nowadays

Re: Leakage from C-Drive Reservoir
Hi Colin,
Thanks for that warning. The fluid is not water affected, but maybe I should change those parts before we launch again next year. I guess thay are Amel specific, so I’ll drop a line to

Anchor swivel
Hi again. More often than not my rockna anchor arrives at the roller facing the wrong way. Swivel allows it to turn as it comes up and over. I just pause the windlass at the right moment and it

Improvements to the Amel design.
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.

Re: Original Autopilot Integration With New Chartplotter
David,
With regard to putting AIS on the N2K net:
Yes, the Vesper is a great solution, probably the best out there, due to its smart software that can filter unneeded information, provide anchor

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Leakage from C-Drive Reservoir
Dean,
I believe you are talking about your C Drive reservoir, but you mentioned "transmission fluid."
There is just under 9 liters of 80/90 gear oil in the C Drive. When the oil heats up, it expands,

Hi Dean
You will need to observe the colour of the fluid in your reservoir. If it starts to get a little cloudy (lighter colour than normal) and it fills higher again, you have water ingress through

Leakage from C-Drive Reservoir
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
