Dave, We just did ours yesterday here in Annapolis. A
good grade of 90 wt. in exactly the quanity you need is available at most boat supply store in the outboard sections. A tube of oil can be poured right in and that is enough. Better still using the "tube" you don't have a smelly bottle laying about. If gear lube spills it's on hell of a smelly mess.. Good luck and fair seas.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bigger Bed
john martin <symoondog@...>
Hi Ed, this is John´s wife Ruth. the original owner of our SM (#248) ordered the ¨king size¨ aft cabin bunk option from Amel when he bought the boat. It consists of board that fits between the permanent bunk and the front of the vanity, with a second cushion that goes on top. You don´t have to always use it of course. Both the board and the cushion store under the permanent bunk (similar to how the port side of the bow cabin bunk can be expanded) but they take up alot of volume. when deployed it uses virtually all the floor space of the aft cabin and the bunk is huge. I don´t like the king option at all, it is way too big so we dont use it ourselves as we find the aft bunk big enough, and it takes up too much good storage space if not deplyed. also, we have put a front on the vanity with two cabinet doors, so the king system blocks those doors from opening.
but John has used it when I was not on board and he had a boat load of guys doing an offshore run. The king expansion plus the lee board down the middle allowed two guys to bunk out back there with plenty of room for each of them. It also would be great if you wanted to throw a bunch of kids back there for a pajama party. Other than that it is not very useful and we don´t even have it on board right now. I think the solution described in an earlier email by Pen Azen is a great one. It allows two people to sleep beamwise which is nice if you are in a rolly anchorage or offshore in rolly seas, yet it doesn´t completely use up all the floor space. We have already shortened the leeboard so that when it is rolly, one of us can sleep beamwise and the other can sleep fore & aft, but I think now we will reduce the size of the Amel-provided king bunk system we have to be like the one described by Pen Azen.

Antifouling/Copperbot
John and Anne on Bali Hai <annejohn@...>
Hi Ian and Judy,
I have had a reply from my friends already and it is copied out below. To validate his views may I say that he is a top class worker with great skills in all aspects of boats. The Brian Douglas that he refers to is or was the Agent for Volvo and Yanmar in Opua which is a great yachting centre much used by world cruisers. He is of course an excellent mechanic as well as a very keen racer cometing in the weekly round the cans races organised by the Opua Cruising Club. "both are a major pain , but copper bot first... did Brian Douglas's S&S after blister job.it has to be stirred constantly, and we applied it with a two man team.one rolled and one tipped off and went back to catch sags[which it had a habit of doing] this was done in New Zealand summer,so temp. was in the 70's.F. [18\19 C.?] anyway it went on smooth enough with a lot of attention,then we sanded with wet or dry paper to break open the surface. original surface was like orangepeel, when sanded,itwas smoother but still had resin surface in lowest bits of orangepeel [that is everywhere] it worked well for about 4 months then had to be swam every week for a racing bottom. slime came off easy enough but expect hard bottom paint to be about the same.think it needed to be sanded vigorously to open all resin, but slime will still grow.as i said it's easy enough to clean but in new zealand in the fall and winter it's not something to look forward too. we ended up going to an ablative paint and it seemed less trouble, brian raced every wednesday and weekends and you may remember how zealous he was. our job was the best one i've seen ,california kiwi [gary] had his sprayed on and it had major sags , more than you'de want to sand. it's not easy to sand either. another boat that used it and later painted over it had major problems with the new paint , he had large areas of what looked like electrolisis, with paint missing,that could have resulted from another problem all together,but no one had an answer. those were the boats that tried it in opua, and all i have first hand knowledge of, and haven't really seen any in our travels .thats just my opinion and you know about opinions "there like a--holes , everybody has one... finding out i dont really like cold weather, especially with a boat with no heat or insulation. also it takes a lot longer to heal than it used too,just as quick to get hurt though. sure mis the S'MINE g&t's hope you're getting about better, and would love to run into you both again sometime,ya never know..is it warm on malta? love to you both and stay well, have fun edfranaka". It sounds awful which is odd because the reason I remember it is that it looked so perfect and I knew that they had worked hard to achieve that finish which looked like solid copper. Best wishes again, Anne and John, SM 319

Condensation (I think) above the aft locker
svbebe <yahoogroups@...>
We have been in Colombia at a marina for 7 weeks running the aft A/C
about 12 hours a day and letting it heat up 12 hours a day. It has been hot and very humid in Cartagena, Colombia. We removed something from this shelf above the aft locker today and noticed that the shelf was very wet...this is the same area where the fuel vent line runs to the outside vent. We suspect (we hope) that the moisture in the shelf area is condensation falling off of the vent line. We are curious to know if anyone else has experienced this. Regards, Bill & Judy s/v BeBe SM2 #387

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Winter lay up in Copenhagen or Gothenburg
Graham Boyd
Dear Lars,
Thanks for your reply. Your help would be most welcome. From what I can see most Danish yards aren't really jacked up for boats the size of a SM. I want to put the boat ashore preferably with the masts up. The yard must be within reasonable distance from Copenhagen Kastrup, as this is where I will comute to and from Glasgow, and obviously not be too expensive!! If you have any suggestions I would be most grateful as I understand that booking in advance is quite important.
