Maramu electric roller system question
Jim <bocarico@...>
I have a 1985 Maramu with electric roller furling on both main and
headsail. Unlike more recent models, there is no obvious way to disconnect the motors and be able to manually operate the rollers in the event of an electrical power failure. I have never had such a failure, but would like to know just how to go about reducing sail in a blow if the power had gone down. Amel via email has been unresponsive to my question. Thank you for whatever assistance you may be able to offer. Jim

Quantity of Polytrol (Penetrol) required to treat decks
amelliahona <no_reply@...>
Hi Roy:
I just re-read your post on painting the deck stripes in preparation to doing my decks. I have been able to purchase some Penetrol (the US equivalent of Polytrol) from Budget Marine in Antigua. How much did it take to treat the decks? Did you also treat the white cabin tops? If so how much did it take to do that? Do you use the Polytrol on other areas of you fiberglass? Finally, how is your re-striping job holding up, and would you do anything differently in hind-sight? Thanks for the follow-up. Gary Silver, s/v Liahona SM 2000 Hull # 335 Jolly Harbor, Antigua

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Mango 46 vs. Mango 48.5
william klein <sidecar1@...>
My boat is currently in the Hudson River 30 mi north of New York City - In Haverstraw New York. The boat is a 1981 and is mechanically sound. We updated the elctronics a couple of years back. It has radar, weatherfax, two VHF radios, Icom SSB, autopilot, watermaker, genset etc. The Perkins diesel has approx 2500 hrs so there are many more left. The genset engine was rebuilt 20hrs ago. The sails are usable for more seasons, but are not recent. If you e-mail me at sidecar1@verizon.net if will send you my phone number so that we may talk.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Mango 46 vs. Mango 48.5
dlm48@...
I think you will find that about 20/25 years ago French boats changed to
using LOA in their model number previously it was i think LOD. So to compete in a market where every last inch was measured to turn a 40 footer into a 43 footer the French boat manufacturers started to play the same game. Failing to do this would have made their boats look both expensive and small. One boat i know quite well a Beneteau First 38 was in fact 41 foot long. regards David

Mango 46 vs. Mango 48.5
Howard Berger
Hello, everyone, my name is Howard Berger. I'm new to the group. My
wife Lynda and I haved looked at a Maramu 46 (the best open cockpit I've ever seen in a boat) which we're considering purchasing, but I've just become aware that Amel also produced this model as a "48.5". The Amel site only lists the specs for the 46. Could someone please tell me what the differences are between the two? I assume they added length in the ends, but did they increase the beam as well? Best regards, HB

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Vanity in Aft Cabin
Roger Banks <roger.banks@...>
Hi John & Anne
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Thanks for the response. When we bought Zorba the vanity had been removed in order to widen the bed, which made the cabin quite unusable in the sense of room to move around, access storage and put stuff down on a surface. I've paid good money to have a mattress made to original size, piece together the rescued remains of the vanity, and side cushions re-made to fit around the side between it and the mattress and it's looking very pretty compared to what we had before. So we use the vanity to put down our cup of tea (on a mat of course) and alarm clock, and we push our soft travel bags right underneath while placing our shoes of various kinds immediately below. For me, having yearned to have it back and having just achieved that aim, I couldn't see the advantage of installing a chest of drawers. Whatever you do carry out for your own convenience, may I suggest you leave open the option for future owners of restoring to original. As you have No 1, maybe it should be as original as possible. Amels are such fine boats, nutty buyers like me don't necessarily appreciate people's efforts to improve the layout, especially when a saw is involved. It's your boat though. Good luck. Regards, Roger, Mango 28, Zorba

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] interior cushions
afpellegrini@...
Amel advised us that the cushions are washable.
We did wash one cover in the machine on the boat , let it air dry and it came out fine. The other cushions require a bigger washing machine than the one on the boat and we have not done them yet. Regards, Tony Pellegrini Voyageur SM#373

Insurance values
John and Anne on Bali Hai <annejohn@...>
Bali Hai, SM2000 NO 319 launched 2001/1 is currently insured for £265K
and the premium is due for renewal. A broker friend working in Mallorca has told me that one a year younger was put on the market in November last at £350K and is now under contract so he imagines that it probably went for something close to the asking price. Has anyone any suggestions......premiums are high enough without being boosted by overvaluing. Regards, John Hollamby
