I had the same problem with Goiot hatch handles breaking.
I bought replacement handles from Amel and I bought some at a chandlery in
Barcelona.

I emailed Goiot with no response. I do not believe that the aluminum handles
are available any longer.
Regards,

Voyageur SM # 373

************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

I have had 3 handles break on SM #349. "Precourt" in Montreal can get them easily for you. Call 418-286-2296 and ask for David. Tell him that Murray Seidel in Wilmington, N.C. refered you.----- Original Message -----

Several of the GOIOT hatch handles on our Santorin SN#41 need
replacing. Several have actually broken and been repaired by the
previous owner. Does any one in the group know where these can be
purchased seperately (most suppliers seem to only offer complete
hatches). I have sent an email to GOIOT but have so far received no
response. I see from their web site that they also offer aluminium
handles. Has any one seen or tried these?

Hello Bill R and other helpful readers,

Thank you for your reply regarding the alumninum rivits in the jib
furler. All of my pins have sheared off but I beleinve the holes in
the jib tube and outer ring are still in good condition. I would
like to only replace the alluminum rivits with new ones and have a
few questions.
1. Do you know if I have to remove the broken half of the rivits
from inside the assembly or can I just push them aside when I
install the new rivits.
2. If I have to remove the the broken rivits from the inside of the
assembly how can this be done?
3. I have one rivit in my spare parts bag that is 2 inches long. Is
that the size rivit to be used in this location?

Thank you for any insights.

Hello James,
I have had the same problem several times and finally the foil

holes were worn enough to warrant further action so I removed all
the rivits and used the gib halyard to lift the foil out of the
fixture and cut off about 1/2 inch from the bottom being careful not
to damage the forestay. Then drilled new holes in the foil for new
rivits and that has worked well. But you need a large rivit gun to
handle the large rivits.

Good luck, Bill Rahmig Leonore of Sark SM72

Some owners switched
to deep cycle golf cart

batteries. Can anyone comment on the 6V vs. 12V

choice, and is the Trojan T-105 a good choice.Also

please describe the layout in the compartment and the

carpentry change due to the batteries height dimension

and the cables connection scheme.

Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] Antifouling--Coppercoat

Hi all, My research into Coppercoat prompted me to email the manufacturers.
Below is their reply. I am becoming pretty convinced by the product and when
I can find a good yard to strip the bottom without damaging it I am going to
give it a whirl. We have personally cleaned and antifouled every boat we
have owned for over thirty years but I am now getting fed up with all the
preparation.Coppercoat looks as though it might be the solution. Cheers,
Ian and Judy, Pen Azen, SM 302, Uruguay

From: aqmarine@globalnet.co.uk>
Subject: RE: Coppercoat for your Super-Maramu
Hello Ian, Thank you for your enquiry regarding Coppercoat multi-season
anti-fouling. Now protecting over 30,000 vessels all around the World,
Coppercoat is the only bottom coat currently available which is actually
proven to resist marine growth continually for ten years and more.Unlike
many paint companies, we do not manufacture different types of anti-fouling
for different sorts of boats and particular locations. Instead, Coppercoat
is only available in a full strength, hard wearing version. The epoxy
carrier is filled with the maximum amount of copper allowed by law,and
consequently this coating will keep fouling at bay in virtually all
conditions. Indeed, we have supplied Coppercoat to a few clients in
Argentina over the years, though most of the goods we supply to South
America go to Brazil. Please note that Coppercoat only uses pure copper, and
not the weaker and less effective alloys such as copper-nickel. Furthermore,
while the non-eroding epoxy can easily withstand use by high powered
motor-boats and racing craft this coating is equally effective on less
frequently used and/or slower moving leisure vessels. In terms of keeping a
hull clear of growth, Coppercoat is not only long-lasting - it was designed
to be even more effective than the very best performing conventional
systems. In fact, Coppercoat is the most copper-rich and powerful
anti-fouling on the market. The high performance of Coppercoat has seen our
product become increasingly popular within racing circles - for example, the
latest 72ft racer from Oyster (Oystercatcher XXV) that won the 2006 Rolex
Antigua Sail Week (Performance Cruising Class 1) uses Coppercoat.> At a cost
of well over GBP 3 million the owner of this hull (the Chairman of Oyster
Yachts) had the yacht built to a weight several tonnes less than the
conventional 72ft Oyster, and concluded that Coppercoat gave a worthwhile
performance advantage. Similarly, motorboat owners report increased hull
efficiency, with greater boat speed at fewer engine revs. Indeed, Coppercoat
is the upgrade option on some of the UK's most prestigious motor-boats,
including the GBP 11 million range-topping 37M Tri-Deck Sunseeker (as
launched at the 2007 London Boat Show). In fact, all Sunseeker yachts
delivered to the Middle East now have Coppercoat fitted as standard
equipment as tests show that on average, each boat achieves a speed increase
of almost 2 knots having been treated with Coppercoat (when compared
to>testing with a clean hull newly painted with conventional anti-foul).
Sunseeker and Oyster are just two of the boat building companies to use and
specify Coppercoat on new build hulls. Other clients include African
Cats,Aquastar, Arcona, Arvor, Bowman, Cornish Crabbers, CR Yachts, Delphia,
Discovery, Feeling, Fisher! , Hanse, Hunter, Hylas, J-Boats, Lagoon, Najad,
Nauticat, Quorning, Rampart, Sessa, Southerly, Spirit and Starlight.
Following recent discussions various other boat builders such as Finngulf,
Marten and Sweden Yachts may soon be offering Coppercoat also. We
manufacture and supply Coppercoat in a 1-litre sized unit only, with each
unit being sufficient to fully treat 4 square metres to a finish (i.e. with
all the necessary coats). Therefore, given that your Amel Super-Maramu has
an underwater area of approximately 57 square metres I recommend that 15
litres be applied in total for a complete and long lasting treatment. If
applied by roller these 15 litres should be used in four thin and equal>
coats, all applied consecutively in a single, dry day. At the current rate
of GBP 60 per unit, such a 15-litre package will be GBP 900 plus delivery.
When you compare this figure to the cumulative costs of having to lift your
boat and re-paint it with conventional anti- foul every season for the next
ten years or so, you will find that a once-only treatment of Coppercoat
provides simply unbeatable value for money. Unfortunately we do not have an
active distributor for Coppercoat in Argentina or Uruguay at this time.
However, we can deliver goods to you by either sea or air-freight. Orders
can be placed by telephone, fax or e-mail, and we happily accept payment by
the major credit and debit cards or bank transfer. For detailed information
regarding hull preparation and product application> please refer to the
"application" section of the www.coppercoat.com website. However, in brief,
you must start by removing any layers of previously applied conventional
anti-fouling, so that you are back to a sound and permanent substrate, such
as an epoxy treatment or the gel-coat. The clean surface should then be
abraded so there is a good key for the Coppercoat to bond to. Following
this, the Coppercoat application is by conventional> roller in dry, mild
conditions. The minimum temperature for application! is approximately 8
degrees Centigrade, and the hull underside area should be protected from
rain for at least 24 hours. While all goods are supplied with full
application instructions we are always available by telephone to answer any
last minute questions that you may have. Furthermore, all orders are
supplied with a copy of the Coppercoat DVD - this 10-minute film shows
exactly how to apply the product easily and correctly to achieve a smooth
and professional finish. I trust that this general information is useful. If
you would like to discuss the use of Coppercoat in greater detail, or if you
simply wish to confirm an order, please do not hesitate to e-mail again or
call us on +44 1202 888802 when my colleagues and I will be pleased to help.
