Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Good Service In Marmaris Turkey

The B&G autopilot computer on Harmonie is an AC42N
It is a bit fussy to interface and other manufacturer's AP computers to the Raymarine autopilot drives, because everybody assumes a 24 volt drive uses a 24 volt clutch. With is true for every drive on the market EXCEPT Raymarine--which uses a 12 volt clutch for all drives no matter what the drive motor voltage. A power resistor in the circuit drops the voltage the clutch coil sees to 12V and every body is happy. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Bar Harbor, Maine

Thanks Bill. I didn't know this halyard was optional. Would not want to go up 16m mast with single line... Does 40m sound right for length?

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] lifting dinghy
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Bill, odd or not it works well. Obviously you have a much longer topping lift than I do. As to lifting the dinghy, the mizzen staysail halyard works well, as I said before being higher up the mast there is the minimum possible sideways push to over come. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Spare Main Halyard Spec's
Bill & Judy Rouse <yahoogroups@...>
Drew, I think it is possible that you are referring to an extra halyard that is blocked at the top of the main with both ends running outside the mast. This was a common addition to many SMs, possibly some were added at Amel, but all that I know of were added after purchase. If this is what you are referring to, I think the answer is that it will vary depending on the original installation. I had one installed when BeBe 387 was 2 years old. I installed 14mm line, which I replaced about 2 years ago with 14mm Dyneema. I hope this helps you.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] lifting dinghy
greatketch@...
That's an odd setup.
My topping would require me to lift the motor about 3 feet to get it over the rail into the aft locker. I assume you are missing the utility halyard that runs over the block at the spreaders? Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Bar Harbor, Maine.

Re: Spare Main Halyard Spec's
drew.gaffney@...
Thanks Bill. It is not the ballooner halyard. It too is on the starboard top of the msst, but is separate. I use the ballooner halyard as the "safety line". This line could raise either the Genoa or the Main. It is thicker than the Ballooner Halyard.

Hello Bill Kinney,
What model of B&G autopilot do you have on Harmony? Regards, Peregrinus SM2K N. 350 At anchor, Marathon

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] lifting dinghy

Hi Bill, Obviously the boom is held a level by the topping lift. The motor at full lift is not quite clear of the rail. I just reach over and swing it slightly by lifting at the prop and over it comes. Regards Danny

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Good Service In Marmaris Turkey
greatketch@...
My primary autopilot computer is a B&G autopilot that can be set to automatically optimize VMG when close hauled.
For five or ten minutes after a tack it tweaks the set AWA angle by a degree at a time, and looks for a change in VMG . Most of the time it works a treat. I found it a great help to fine tune sail trim. Trim that optimizes VMG at 37 degrees is only very slightly different than trim that optimizes at 42. And that is a really big difference in true wind angle and resulting VMG. It can take a bit of trust, because at the best VMG the boat has a lower STW than you KNOW it can do, but bearing off a few degrees to increase boat speed drops the VMG. It is not perfect. It can be fooled by something like quickly changing wind strength. It also ignores leeway, which can have a big impact. It's not a panacea, but another useful tool in the box.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Island Pearl II - 2001 - SM2000 #332 For sale
I'm happy to hear that, Colin.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I've always contended that it takes a certain kind of person to do passages...maybe a little crazy? I've always told my girlfriend that if she didn't want to, or couldn't (she has a little problem with mal de mer, too), that I would do the passages and she could fly. It's a little more of a hassle to find crew (I've done a few 1-2 nighters, but always get crew for the longer ones), but worth having her on board for the rest of it. Hang in there. I think you'll get this figured out and live your dream.

A number of products have been FDA approved for safety and effectiveness in treating seasickness. Scopolamine and meclizine are just two of them. It is a "little bit true" to say, "the relief band is the only device approved by the FDA to treat seasickness" but the FDA has NOT approved the effectiveness of the Relief Band, just its safety. In fact, the FDA hasn't even REALLY approved it for safety by looking at any data. They cleared it for sale because it was "substantially similar" to a product that was marketed before approval for such devices was required. I know the company's marketing says "FDA Cleared" but that is very careful marketing double-speak. Note the careful avoidance of the word "Approved." Of course that does not mean it does not work, just that it has not been really evaluated by the FDA. I did a lot of research into this partly because I am always interested in products that work "like magic" and partly because I have glaucoma and can not take scopolamine or several of the other antiemetics. Fortunately, I don't often suffer from seasickness myself, but it would be nice to have something on board I could give to anybody and not worry about side effects, or drug interactions. I was never able to find any data to decide if the Relief Band really worked better than a placebo, or not. They don't reference any published studies of effectiveness, and that always raises a red flag to me. On the other hand a lot of people swear by it. It is certainly one of those things that "it can't hurt to try, it's only money!" Motion sickness is a really, really tough condition to really study. Nobody has looked harder at it than NASA, and as far as I could find, the technology behind the relief band didn't make their cut, so they never quite convinced me that they should get my money!

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] lifting dinghy

Drew,
When you say the "spare halyard" are you referring to the ballonner halyard? If so, that is specified by Amel as 10 mm diameter, 39 m length, polyester double braid.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Island Pearl II - 2001 - SM2000 #332 For sale
Further to my email regarding Island Pearl II being for sale I would like
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
to thank all those of you who have offered us encouragement and advice on motion sickness prevention, and also offer a sincere apology to those who have contacted me directly showing an interest in Island Pearl II.After a pretty good 5 day passage we arrived in Maumere (Flores Island/ Indonesia) recently, and on opening our email today were surprised at the level of interest via our direct email address.Strangely on this most recent 500nm passage Lauren suffered absolutely no motion sickness at all (of course she was taking her medication for it as usual though) and after so much encouragement and similar stories, we have decided to press on on see if things improve for her over the next month or so before taking any final decisions to sell.I will respond directly to all those who have shown an interest directly tomorrow after we catch up on some sleep today, but wanted to say up front that we will delay our decision to sell for now. If/when that changes we will be directly in contact with those who showed an interest first.Colin StreeterSV Island Pearl II, Amel 53 #332Maumere, Flores Island.

A number of products have been FDA approved for safety and effectiveness in treating seasickness. Scopolamine and meclizine are just two of them. It is a "little bit true" to say, "the relief band is the only *device* approved by the FDA to treat seasickness" but the FDA has NOT approved the effectiveness of the Relief Band, just its safety. In fact, the FDA hasn't even REALLY approved it for safety by looking at any data. They cleared it for sale because it was "substantially similar" to a product that was marketed before approval for such devices was required. I know the company's marketing says "FDA Cleared" but that is very careful marketing double-speak. Note the careful avoidance of the word "Approved." Of course that does not mean it does not work, just that it has not been really evaluated by the FDA. I did a lot of research into this partly because I am always interested in products that work "like magic" and partly because I have glaucoma and can not take scopolamine or several of the other antiemetics. Fortunately, I don't often suffer from seasickness myself, but it would be nice to have something on board I could give to anybody and not worry about side effects, or drug interactions. I was never able to find any data to decide if the Relief Band really worked better than a placebo, or not. They don't reference any published studies of effectiveness, and that always raises a red flag to me. On the other hand a lot of people swear by it. It is certainly one of those things that "it can't hurt to try, it's only money!" Motion sickness is a really, really tough condition to really study. Nobody has looked harder at it than NASA, and as far as I could find, the technology behind the relief band didn't make their cut, so they never quite convinced me that they should get my money!

Dear Owen, We own Sharki 104 since 2008 and love sailing her (Charmed II). Since we live in Holland sailing on the North Sea, Channel, Brittany coast andere Dutch sweet water lakes. We sailed her in Storms and good weather, never failed on us. Since 7 years with kids. Niet in St. Cast heading back to Holland. I would buy onze with non furling masts. We sailed one with those and beat her by miles. Good Luck, great winds, and loads of fun, Hajé Weisfelt

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Modified SM Bow Thruster
James Alton
From a maintenance point of view the sealed bearings and replacing the gear oil with grease sounds interesting. Given that both the seals and the more viscous grease will increase the friction I am curious if there is a noticeable drop in RPM during use? Has anyone measured the amperage increase after making this change? If significant one might need to reduce slightly the max run time due to heating.

Hello Paul, you could but as you will be taking the thruster out, why not do
the simple job of replacing the bearings with new sealed ones?
They are not expensive. All you need is a puller to get them off
and a tube to tap them back on if you don't have access to a
press. You will find that the thruster will sound smother
afterwards. Amel now use sealed bearings or so I have heard. Regarding the play in your hub, please note that the stainless sleeve does not extend much beyond the lip seal. (See my photo in the photo's section), so the pin does not go through the sleeve. Sounds like you need to replace the hub. They do get sloppy after much use.
