Re: Spinniker or parasailor
Joerg Esdorn
Paul, I have a Parasailor and I use it without a pole. It's attached to the forestay with an ATN Tacker. It's much more stable than a symmetrical or asymmetrical spinnaker and much more forgiving - it's very hard to collapse it and if it does collapse, it won't fill with a Big Bang but with a more gentle "woosh." The "wing" really works. I would be very careful using the heavy jib pole for a spinnaker or Parasailor - it's dangerous in my view and the manual for the 55 warns against using it for a spinnaker or Parasailor. One problem is that to take the sail down with the snuffer you will need to swing the pole forward to the forestay - it will then be loose and start swinging around. I hope that helps. Joerg Esdorn, A55 #53, Kincsem

Re: Winter storage ashore
ianjenkins1946 <ianjudyjenkins@hotmail.com>
Hi Nick,
We are ashore at Basimakopoulos Shipyard in Kilada. There is no marina but an excellent, protected anchorage and good storage ashore. The village is a small fishing village where everyone is connected in some way to the Bas. family. Good cradles, each served
with water and electricity. Check their website.

if anyone has a recommendation as to which one to haul and store ashore for the winter.

Re: washing machine and dryer for Amel 54
Lior Keydar <sharona246@...>
Thank you all for the great information.
I saw that BEKO WMS6100 is not produced any more but there a few machines on the market that could fit in. The different models changes very quickly on the market. Also on my boat the machine is held in place by two bolts attached through the back of the machine. The challenge will be for sure to fit the new machine in and to secure it like the first one. Thanks again Lior, SCHARONA A54 #18

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow locker seals
Here’s the site I was looking at. These are truly half-round with base 1”, height 1/2”(not 1”). I’ll contact them and Steve’s site to see if I can find 1” x 1” high D profile in neoprene. Kent Robertson

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow locker seals
Steve, Note that Trim-LOC says it uses EPDM Rubber. EPDM is related to polyethylene...I assume that this will be similar to polyfoam. The specs state that "compression Rating Recommended 25% compression for the maximum performance." This is where I had a failure with the gasket I previously used. If you notice the weight of the engine room hatch, it will compress the D Gasket to more than 25%, especially if the center hole is large. Maybe the one that Kent found with a 3/16" hole will be the best. It will take about 90' to do everything. Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

Re: This should interest all members, especially Amel yacht owners
100% agree with below.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Bill was my pre-purchase consultant in 2017; inviting me to their house in GALVESTON TX. Without Bill (AND Judy’s) information, honest feedback on AMEL cruising (look at Judy’s detailed spreadsheet on their 10 year cruising costs) I would have never bought
AMELIT.
Then becoming a YACHT SCHOOL member as well as purchasing the lifetime 24/7/365 consulting, combined with Bill flying all the way to NEW CALEDONIA to be on board for close to 10 days has really helped me to understand the boat better and bring AMELIT (almost)
completely back in OEM condition.
As Porter mentioned in an earlier Email last week - these boats are the ultimate & fantastic travel (sea) machines and (Judy +) Bill as well as this forum have, for me, been indispensable. Brgds Teun
