I've owned her for 2 years. I don't know about any work done on the ballast or the strap prior to that. I observed some small rust bubbles on the very bottom of the aft end of the ballast when we

Parts4Engines.com did not have the oil pressure sensor I was looking for, but these guys do: https://www.volvopentashop.com/volspec/en-GB I have also been advised recently by engineers to

Hi Ulrich, The photo did not come through. The fixed Blade has a protrusion that fits into a V cut into the oil drain plug of the “C” Drive. I believe the blades are made for the Amel system

2 +1 = 3 in sum Best regards Stefan Amel 54 119 Lady Charlyette, currently Le Marin

Let's start by asking how long you have owned this Amel and what do you know about the previous work done on the boat?

OK, I have read every thread about keel rust and copper ballast straps, and I have several questions. 1. If the copper strap is intact, then is it true that there would be no rusting of the

Ok, how many slots on your foil? 1, 2, or 3? Best, CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1 832-380-4970 | brouse@... 720 Winnie, Galveston Island, Texas 77550 www.AmelOwnersYachtSchool.com Yacht

Hi, Relax, the furler swivel is just as it should be. To enlighten you, the swivel is developed to fly two headsails simultaneously. Actually the Genua and the Ballooner (that is wat Amel calls it).

Dear Bill, no, it has 1 pole. Ballooner/ gennaker is separate furled in front of the genoa. But I like the possibility to have 2 genoa in the foil (butterfly) - very good experiences on my previous

Eric, et al, One of the blades should be held in place by the V shaped oil drain bolt, the other blade spins with the shaft. Something is very wrong with this installation.

Before I answer, is your 54 rigged for twin headsails with two poles (ballooner)?

Hi Eric, THX so much. Another pic, not so good, from aside view. For more detailed enclosed view, you can it enlarge. Hopfully the space between is just right enough to fit the second fixed blade. So

The second set of blades fit into the groove forward of the blades shown. There is also a set of plastic bearings that fit in that groove. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

There is supposed to be 2 sets of blades. In your photo I only see one. Could you send more photos? Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Eric, Hi all, you are very right, I just find a picture from last year on the hard. This may be the original Amel setup from 2008. SPURS type B(ravo). But the 2. blade mounting and zinc missing.

Dear Ameliens, I got a new front furler and have to hoist the genoa again. When I prepaired the genoa loops I got the feeling that the Swivel respectively the lower part is in the wrong position. At

Bill & Karen, thanks for doing this. CW Bill Rouse

Hi Armo, I fly into St Thomas June 1. I do not know what tickets mt crew has purchased so I might have to wait a few days in St Thomas for them. We will then fly via private charter to SXM. I am

Hello Kent & Iris, We have photos of our set up for pumping the bilges. We did not compromise any of our watertight bulkheads. It’s a bit hard to describe in words, so photos work much better.
