Bill, I tried to gently pry the Amel Logo/plastic piece off, but they used a good sealant on it and I think I'll do more harm than good. It seems like I could take some screening and some silicone and

Alexandre, Thanks for the advice. We think of you often and hope that things are going as well as they can for you. Terrible times for sure. I hope something good comes of it!!! Duane

Under the first step , in a toolbox . One of my friends , have made a superb woodcraft work with two drowers . Easy and superb . Philippe SM 238

The suggestion we got was to use metal screening on those vents, under the logo plate. If the boat is closed tight, they offer the only access to the interior for a rat-sized rodent. A mouse is

I keep two “quick grab” boxes on the shelf in the pass through. I keep an assortment of frequently used basics in the chart drawer. And the bulk of everything else goes in a large Rigid brand

Hi all, I'm wondering where you store all your tools. I feel like most of us are very handy, so we must have a lot of them. I use many of my tools on a near-daily basis, so I like to keep them

Duane, The best way wehave found to prevent rats from walking the lines onto the boat is to use anempty one liter soda bottle. Place the bottle between the dock and the boatwith the rope passing

Hello Duane, I feel for you! This happened to me over a year ago in Tortola… Took me 10 days to get rid of the rat… (it is on my facebook). If you think it tenter through the Amel logo then

Nick, I hope that you are also enjoying the transition from a yawl to a ketch. (grin) If you search on grade 70 chain in the Amel Groups you will find a lot if information on this subject. I

Hi Bob, Amel has sent me their work instrucition for doing this, which I have attached. Interestingly they do not say to lower the bow thruster first, and also their procedure looks to be quite a bit

I have an Amel 54 (Amelia #019 2006) she is my third boat and my largest. I have concerns that 10mm chain is not strong enough, for such a large vessel. She has very rusty 10mm chain. Unknown grade,

As a default, it is a perfectly rational and safe assumption to never use a connecting link. You will never have a failure because of that decision. But properly sourced and assembled they are safe

Agree Would NEVER use a joining link in anchor chain. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hi Bill Yes, we had pre-marked that spot on our plotter the night before entering but customs would not have any of that. We were instructed to go to a specific location on the other side and then had
