Re: Volvo TMD22 Exhaust Elbow
Ian, HDI is a "Yacht School Preferred Vendor" and makes One-Piece Casted (not machined) Stainless Steel Exhaust Elbows. Their "AD" model is what I believe you want. Their price is $455 less your Yacht School discount. Here is a link to their exhaust listings: Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

Re: Flag etiquette
Joerg Esdorn
Very helpful, Peter. So at anchor I must carry the ensign in the standard position for any Amel: at the aft rail. But while underway, I can carry it either in the same position or, alternatively, at the top of the mizzen mast if the standard position is "impractical". That's certainly what we always did on my family's ketch many moons ago. dThat gets it out of the way of the solar panels and out of earshot. Now if only the US Power Squadron would agree with those rules - mine is a US flagged vessel after all. :<). Additional problem is all those antennas at the top of the mizzen mast - I don't want the flag to get into the way of those. Hence my question whether anyone has done it and what the mechanics look like. Do you need a very long pigstick?

Re: BOW THRUSTER SANTORIN OIL
Bernd,
Just fill it until you see the oil. Could be about the 3/10ths liter Bill notes. Btw, I usually hang mine upside down overnight to thoroughly drain the old oil. Craig SN68 Sangaris

Re: Flag etiquette
Great point, Davi. In addition to flying a courtesy flag, we always made it a point to pick up an inexpensive country flag on a stick at a local souvenir shop when we entered a new country and have it at the helm. Then whenever a local boat would wave at us upon seeing our US Flag, we'd wave the little flag back - always got a great reception.

Re: Flag etiquette
I attach herewith a copy of the rules.

I think it looks as if rule 33 c applies. ILLUSTRATION 4A - the centre illustration. Burgee should be at the top of the mast! So for any Amel ketch it should be on a staff at low level on the rear rail - as allowed for on my Amel 54. That’s certainly where I carried it round the World. I hope that helps? Anyone interested in "Dress Overall” - rules? Thank stop Ian for getting those words in the right order! Peter Forbes 0044 7836 209730 Carango Sailing Ketch Amel 54 #035 In La Rochelle - FOR SALE.

Re: Gaining Access to the upright Freezer in the Galley
Porter,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Yes I did that and I’m no expert craftsman. I can’t remember exactly how but it is all quite clear as you progress. I seem to remember that you do have to remove the cross bar of wood at the base front edge and then the whole device slides out quite easily. Sorry not to be more specific but just to reassure it is not that difficult. Peter

Re: Flag etiquette
I don't know much about where to fly my own flag (it's off the stern on the Amel pole, about an inch per foot of boat as is about right, and in any case I don't care much as it is a convenience country). But I do know that hanging around here in Sicily the last few months, I have seen exactly ZERO visiting boats who bothered to put up the Sicilian flag (same went in Sardinia last month before here). Went looking for one after a week in port, found it, hoisted it right below the Italian courtesy, and watched the attitudes of anybody local change immediately from stranger-friendly to family-friendly. A number of direct positive comments as well, including from the Costeria who waved instead of boarded. Don't neglect local flags because here, as an example, Sicilians consider themselves more Sicilian than actual Italian. Same for Sardinia, and I'm sure many other regions around the world. Just my 2 cents on flags....

Gaining Access to the upright Freezer in the Galley
Porter McRoberts
Hello gents (and ladies)
I am wondering if anyone on the A-54 has been able to get access to the guts of the upright fridge/freezer in the galley. I think we’ve had a gas leak and need to re-braze and the access is minimal through the little mesh grate. What’s the process? On the SM2k (thanks for the gander Quetzal) it’s a simple 2 bolts in front (aft) of the washing machine. Any thoughts or tips would be quite appreciated. The fridge guy is 90$/hr here in Tahiti. I’d rather not use his expertise on removal! Thanks as always to this great brain trust. Porter A54-152 S/V Ibis. Tahiti. Excuse the errors. Sent from my IPhone Www.fouribis.com

Good read and well stated Bill. I fly the ensign as large as I can with pride. I respect other nationalities who do the same. This fellow sounds like someone who wants the cake with no hand in baking it or even being in the bakery. Best regards, Chuck

Re: Flag etiquette
Aha! Time for the Flag Police!
USPower Squadron says from the end of the gaff, if you've got one, otherwise from a pole at the stern, which if it can't be in the middle should preferably be on the starboard side. (Maybe the French prefer the port side?) The State of Maryland actually has a law that says, for a ketch rig, either at the stern staff (doesn't say middle, port or starboard - whew!) or 2/3's up the leach of the mizzen (or at the gaff, if so rigged). They also require the flag to be a Yacht Ensign (13 stars and an anchor, not a US country flag). Odd law that you can't fly an American Flag on your boat. Other "authorities" say you can fly it from the backstay, rather than the leach of the mizzen, and Captain Henri said you can fly it from the topping lift. I"m sure there are 67 other versions of this, so no need to get our knickers in a bunch (well, unless you're in Maryland - jeees, an actual law.) Cheers, Craig SN68 Sangaris

Flag etiquette
Joerg Esdorn
I believe that the “proper” way to fly the national ensign on a ketch is 2/3 up the topping lift or on the top of the mizzen mast. I have, of course, the stern mounted flag pole Amel provides. Has anyone rigged the “proper” way on their boat? I’d be very interested in the mechanics. For one, I’d like to get the flag where I can’t hear it flogging around in a blow.

Re: Chesapeake Bay mooring/slip for 2 months?
Sorry,
Not the Hampton Landing marina, this one: https://www.downtownhampton.com/boating/public-piers This is a city own marina and is located downtown close to everything.
Are you familiar with ActiveCaptain.com – it is a good source for finding marina and being able to look at nautical charts for the approach etc. The site usually has rate info. In addition to reviews.
With best regards,
Mark
