Re: Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
We recently purchased Minerva, Hull #135. It came with a small RIB that we store on the mizzen deck (no boomvang). We will be retrieving our PortaBote from California this winter. Stores nicely along the rail, about the same footprint as a large surfboard. Not the most attractive option but you will never loose it at the dingy dock.

Re: Stainless steel arch Canaries
Paul Stascavage
Andy, Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the group. You will find a wealth of information and help here from some very knowledgeable and like minded sailors. I was given some very good advice when we first purchased our SM and that was to wait at least a year before making any changes to the original design/systems. We waited at least two years and I am glad we did. Likewise I wanted to add solar when we purchased but I heeded the advice. The waiting allowed us to evaluate whether we really wanted solar, determine what our normal energy needs were, and to see enough other Amel installations to know whether we wanted hard panels on an arch, the rails, etc or to go with flexible panels somewhere else. We opted for flexible panels on our Bimini top. I am so glad we waited as I now have a system that I am 100 percent happy with and one that is exceeding our expectations on power generation. You can read about our project and install here: All the Best, Paul Stascavage S/V Rita Kathryn SM #466 RitaKathryn.com Currently Exploring City Island

Re: Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
I traded in our inflatable for a Portland Pudgy. She tows quite nicely, however on longer passages I do have to mount it on the foredeck. AS with the Maramu, the Sharki's stern tapers quite a bit and the aft deck is not quite big enough to stow the Pudgy there. So far I've been stowing it upside down. It makes it a bit harder to load and unload off the deck. I'm working on building a new cradle that would allow me to stow upright. One other option I'm thinking about are low profile dink davits made of carbon fiber [the mizzen boom overhangs transom]. The davits would help greatly on short passages and make it easier to move boat around in tight places and improve visibility. Does anyone know of an outfit that works with carbon fiber?

Re: Stainless steel arch Canaries
Congratulations again. You have found a very good SM. I hope that you and Antonija enjoy your years ahead. Fabricating an arch, especially one that you will want takes lots of experience. I am not sure if you will find what you are looking for in the Canaries. My recommendation is, in addition to soliciting 3rd party recommendations, is to have any fabricator in the Canaries supply you with photos of past projects and contact information for his client(s) for references. Fabricating and welding stainless steel is as much an "art" as it is a skill. Bill

Stainless steel arch Canaries
Andy Manikata
Hello everyone,
looks like we have closed the deal for our SM yesterday 😃 The boat is in Lanzarote at the moment. We want to have solar panels on an arch and I wonder if anyone knows someone who does proper stainless steel works somewhere on the Canaries. Thanks a lot Andy

Hi; The D150 HP pump is 2.2KW. So the pump itself consumes a bit below 10 Amps at 220V.

Re: Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
smiles bernard
Thanks James Thats great to know The rib looks like a real beauty agreed re visabiliy issues that a foredeck mounting would create - even with the inflatable stowed inverted fwd of the mast the vis is a bit rubbish - so yes good point I've previously built my nester and its been great for kids sailing and amazing to row.... but also a hassle to put together So wondering if to give up on a nester ...... or build a better one ;) the Chameleon design looks nice and has a proper centerboard vs my leeboard Hope all is well with you and yours M

We found a Ribeye 2.6 aluminum RIB that fits beautifully on the aft cabin top between the back of the mizzen mast and the mizzen traveller. The mizzen vang however does need to be detached to fit it. With one person aboard the dinghy will partially plane out with a Honda 2.3 hp 4 stroke. We have a Mercury 9.9 2 stroke that we want to try on the dinghy. We like the dinghy a lot, as it is stable and quite light. Personally I feel that a dinghy on the foredeck would restrict the forward view too much but if you want a larger dinghy there are not many other options.

Vintage Maramu dinghy stowage
smiles bernard
Hi there
I’d be really interested to hear of others Maramu dinghy choice wrt stowage The transom of the Maramu is quite a bit narrower than the SM and later models - as such davits don’t feel right as any dink would overhang the sides If the boat a lot Plus I have a much treasured Hydrovane on the back We currently carry an inflatable and also a nesting affair I made The nesting dinghy stows Inverted under the mizzen boom but that space is not big enough for the inflatable which I pack up and stow in the fwd locker Really interested in the options people have explored. Does anyone mount their dinghy right side up on the deck on the foredeck? I’ve seen a few SMs with this setup but feels tight re space on the Maramu All the very best Miles Maramu 162 Looks like we are heading off as

Re: Climma compressor turning off randomly
BTW, to those who may want to help Billie, but have earlier models: Amel 55 #56 has the Climma Chiller System, which is probably unlike the very early 55's and all Amel's before Amel started using the Climma Chiller. It is not like all of the Climma installations in Amels before. It has a central cooling compressor with remote air handlers that receive chilled fluid (not freon, rater 80% freshwater, and 20% antifreeze) from a central engine room mounted unit. It has a saltwater circuit contained in the engine room for heat transfer and a separate pump that circulates chilled fluid. Billie, I think we all have limited knowledge of this system. Hopefully, some owner has experienced your issue. My guess, and it is really a guess, is that because resetting the system allows you to restart with cooling, there is probably either insufficient water flow in the saltwater or the chilled fluid circuits, causing an automated shutdown. If this is the cause for the shutdown, included in the troubleshooting should be the sensor that shuts it down. If I were you, I would call Coastal Climate Control and ask Rob or Gretchen for the contact information for the most qualified technician for Climma Chillers in your area.
