Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Propane switch
Eric and Pat,
Amel made different versions of the solenoid gas control over years. They also made a manual gas valve in early SMs.
I know y'all are comparing apples to oranges.
Hopefully Pat can get

Re: Jib Halyard Sheave
Gerhard,
Unfortunately, I could not find my old main mast sheaves to take measurements. I either threw them out or they got misplaced in the frenzy to prepare the boat for the long passage from

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Propane switch
Eric , I don't have a dedicated breaker for it , nor would expect to with its low amperage. Do you know what breaker it is connected to , I can not trace it as it is in a bundle of probably 40 wires.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Propane switch
Eric, No , and the meter shows no power at the back of the switch, thus my search for the power source to the switch. Didn't you have a wire tracer that you recommended a while back ?
Thanks,
Pat SM

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Propane switch
I forgot to say that if the red light does not go on . I would put a jumper across the circuit breaker and see if the red light goes on. If it does , then it is the circuit breaker

I second SevenStar. I have not used their services but I did get a quote from them last year for moving a SM from Europe to the USA. It was competitive with some of the other quotes I got but they

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Balooner usage advice
Miles,
I have used the Ballooner on Sueño a few times now. My boat also just has two grooves so once I hoist the ballooner up the second groove using my spare halyard, I am unable to furl either

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Balooner usage advice
Miles,
Without the triple groove plus thes pecial gadget at the top of the headstay you can’t use the ballooner.
I find it much easier to fly a 1400-1500 sq foot gennaker in a sock, works like

Miles,
I do love the double headsail rig for a lot of reasons.
From a safety standpoint, there are no booms to worry about accidentally gybing. The number of boats that I have seen with serious rig

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Balooner usage advice
Hi Miles
There will be much advice on this as to extra sails for downwind. I offer you a simple safe option. Obviously not as effective as adding a large extra.
I call it triple wing on wing.

Hi Miles,
Before you go much further it seems you'll want to find out what that spinnaker-looking sail in your locker really is. Since your headstay is not the Amel style 3-slot for a ballooner it may

Transport of SM from Australia to Suez/Turkey
Hi
We are planning to put our SM on a cargo this September from Australia to any Mediterranean eastern port.
We’re finding some difficulties to get quotations from companies found on the internet.

Re: Fixe Propeller
Hello Rudy,
it is normal to get more rpm with the AUTOPROP, as this is a self-adjustable pitch propeller with free rotating blades.
When the vessel has no speed, you can really get full power (3400
