Miles, Dyneema is the way to go for emergency replacement rigging. It is stronger than you need, you can carry 100 feet of it in a tiny little space (Unlike wire!) It doesn't care if it sits in

They are also known as wire rope clips. Peter, do I understand correctly that you sister the 4' section of wire rope to the existing standing rigging, spanning the frayed section, and use the bulldog

Hi Peter, A bulldog clip in American English is a paper clip. What's the translation from English English? Cheers, Craig ---In amelyachtowners@..., <ppsforbes@...> wrote : Hi, We took two 4ft

Hi, We took two 4ft lengths of 20mm rigging wire with turn buckle eye at each end and 20 bulldog clips. We had aft lower failure (or broken strands to be exact) and used this scheme to jury rig repair

Hello Eric, I bought mine from Marine Beam, but when I look at their web site, they don’t seem to have

James We have a Viking Ocean self righting Liferaft. Bought specifically for that attribute. Our Santorin already had the liferaft mounted on the aft deck, jest behind the mizzen mast. I thought of

I haven’t been on board a Maramu, but it sounds the same as the Santorin. We’ve never had a problem in rough weather in the galley. We have a belt for the cooker which we have never used. I use it

Thank you everyone for your response, I will look into all your suggestions. I appreciated your help. Best Regards Barry & Robyn Tradewinds III SM # 171

Hello there I'd value this groups thoughts on carrying spare rigging on long journeys - to allow for repairs on passage or in remote locations. What supplies do you carry ? My 1985 isomat masted

Hello Gary, these cleats are made by Plastimo. They seem to be available. Have a look at the website www.plastimo.fr Find the dimensions and the ones on the toe rail are called "taraudes" which means

Does anyone know the manufacturer of the toe-rail 10 inch cleats on the Super Maramu 2000 (my hull number 335). Maud tells me matching ones aren't available from Amel any longer. I had a couple

Do any of you own a viking raft? The off-shore version weighs in at 80 lbs. Though I could lift this out, I doubt my wife could do that if I were incapacitated… However, it appears to be the only

James, There are so many variables... there are always exceptions to the simple rules... If I wanted to design a boat with as little prop walk as possible I would put the prop deep on a horizontal

That's how I taught people to do it for almost ten years. For most beginning big boat skippers it was the most intimidating of the lessons. Putting an expensive 40 foot boat into a space less than

Having been on a number of sailing websites over the years I find it interesting that certain topics create endless correspondence. I mean nothing negative by this. I just find it interesting.

Hi Bill, I can't disagree with your input but I offer my thoughts. When a boat is stationary, or changing from forward to reverse initially the prop is turning in the water and the linear flow of

Mark, If you are talking about the foredeck light half way up the mast. I bought one last year at Budget Marine in St Maarten. It is a stock item. 24 volts just means you have to change the lamps

I replaced my mizzen/cockpit lightbulb with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWWB5LM It has served me well since August, and is probably the least expensive boat maintenance I've ever
