Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] changing cockpit cover installation from old Super Maramu to SM2K
Hi Kent,
I'm interested but it depends on the dimensions of the package. Because I think, that there are limitations on the cargo transport to La Rochelle Pallice if they have to transport it by post

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Raising the waterline aft on SM
We did the same.
Just raised the antifoul up to the, in our case, red stripe. It is all paint on ours, no vinyl stripping required.
Some have laser lined it and lifted the waterline gradually from bow

Hi Adam,
We raised our antifouling ( in our case, Coppercoat) to the top of the orange stripe, thus covering it. We then left an inch of white hull above which we added a new boot line.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Looking for suggestions on galley refrigerator
I have used my water tank, on my 1983 maramu #125, for 10 year. However if I were to build the system again I would use a bronze keel cooler in the water tank.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: re caulking of stanchion base
Mark,
An impact driver is one of those tools you don't really need... until you do!
I am using a Ridgid cordless electric 1/2 inch drive impact driver. If not this exact model, then one just like it.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Downwind sail for Amel 54
Dear Amelians,
I'm also evaluating a downwind / lightwind solution for my AMEL54, but I have the older configuration than Thomas, two separate poles, one on each side to be mounted to the mastfoot.
