Mainsail for Maramu
Miles
Through a sequence of unusual events, I am in possession of a new Maramu Mainsail by Q Sails. The sail is still in the box. It is of Hydanet cloth, tri-radial with spectra webbing. It is for sale for $2860. If you are not familiar with Q Sail, see the postings by Bill Rouse. They use the Amel plans and build lovely sails. I have them on my boat. I can be reached at my email, milesbid at gmail dot com. Miles

Hi Greg, I would like to take your old genoa. I have a Sharki #60 from 1982 and I am currently in Marina Kalamata. If your genoa is still worth the effort to hire a car to come to Cleopatra Marina I will come next week to take it. My email is carcode at me dot com Please write me what you think.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] OCC
We'll second the kudos for OCC. And for US east coasters, Gary Naigle and Greta Gustafson, Port Officers in Norfolk are the best, with slips in downtown and a constant gathering of world cruisers. Several spots along the Chesapeake, too.

Re: Elongated hole on conical coupling
Hii Alan,
I wonder if that might be normal-ish compression of the rubber shocks inside the Vetus. Frankly doesn't sound like a big deal and I should think the Nylocs would be ok without Loctite. The problem ones I've seen (and had) were really loose - like rattling around. Will be interesting to see how they are when next you inspect them.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] OCC
Hello Steve and Liz,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Saw that you are OCC Hawaii Port Officers. We would like to join the OCC, would you sponsor us? The AMEL group is a wealth of information but feel the OCC would also help with our travels. I completed an Atlantic crossing in 1999. We have owned our 54 for 3 years and are currently on what I call our shakedown cruise this summer in The Adriatic before heading off next year on our round the world. I would like to visit Hawaii again but on our boat, I lived in Hawaii for 4 years (1970-1074). Look forward to hearing back.

Genoa for a Sharki
Gregory Shea
A long shot. I have a Dacron 150 Genoa for a Sharki that I must get rid of to make way for a new sail I have on order. It is destined for the dumpster by Wednesday next week unless someone wants it. Located at Cleopatra Marina in Peveza. Someone would have
to pick it up, I have no way to ship it.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] OCC

Hi Mark,
Steve and Liz have probably answered your question. There are lots of ways of getting info on a new place--some people love cruisers' nets, Seven Seas etc. We used a mixture in our 7 year circumnavigation of South America and found them all useful . I am rather attached to the OCC . Back in 1981 there were no radio nets--we didn't even have a radio on board-- so the OCC was a good source of info for us. For a while in the '90s I was on the committee when we had less than 1.000 members and probably only 5 or 6 port officers. Its expansion since then suggests that people enjoy it and find it useful.
You don't have to be afloat to take advantage--I was once visiting Sydney and wanted to sail in Sydney Harbour. I could have chartered a boat for the day , but who better to contact than the port officer who took me out himself. They say that a sailor has a girl in every port --well, an OCC member can say that she/he has a friend in every port.

Hi Mark,
We have been members since our qualifying trip in 1981. The OCC is a virtual club in the sense that it doesn't have a clubhouse and its 2000 odd members ( maybe more now) are scattered across the globe. It produces a newsletter every 6 months or so and a 200 odd page journal twice a year with cruising stories from members.
The choice of 1,000 miles between points is obviously an arbitrary one, as is the size of the boat, but they were chosen by the originator of the club over 50 years ago and have served well. It puts the O in OCC.
You will now find port officers in most countries, a voluntary role often filled by someone who has swallowed the hook but still wants to be involved in the cruising world. We have used them to good effect in finding stores, reliable technicians etc in new ports.
Like any club member, when you see an OCC burgee in an anchorage it's irresistible to meet them for a beer and in contrast to almost every other club they might come from one of 20 or more different countries.
I am sorry that the rules suggested to you that the OCC is bureaucratic---it's very far from that. Amongst its members you will find some of the most adventurous and free spirited folk afloat, some of whose whose achievements will amaze you. Rallies where boats sail together are a rare feature in the club. Normally an OCC rally has meant meeting in an anchorage for a drink, rather than a cruise in company. I suspect that a significant majority of OCC members prefer to do their own thing , occasionally meeting to share their experiences.
Sharing experiences is what the OCC is all about. There is a small number of dinners or BBQ's or whatever held each year in different countries, particularly but not only the UK and US East coast, but I suspect that most members only ever meet other members in a cockpit somewhere. On one extraordinary day we were one of 4 OCC boats who met in Caleta Beaulieu in the Beagle Channel. We all knew each other but it was pure chance that we all happened to be close by at the same time.
Arguably, OCC membership really comes into its own not in the Med or Caribbean , which are socially crowded places, but in some far flung anchorage where you least expect to see another boat , but there is yacht with an OCC burgee at her port spreaders. You make friends for life like that--just as you would if you came across another Amel in such circumstances.

Steve,
Interesting to see you are OCC Port Officers.
A couple of months ago I looked into joining the OCC but really struggled to see the value. The forum seem light and I assumed it was because of lack of members. Some of the subjects hadn’t been posted in since last year.
I had a hard time with the qualifications that sort of appeared a bit snobby to me such as “must have completed a non-stop ocean passage between two ports, where the distance between the ports is not less than 1,000 nautical miles measured by the shortest practical Great Circle route, as skipper or member of the crew in a vessel of not more than 70ft (21.3 m) LOA” I scratched my head and wondered why you couldn’t join if you had done a 999 mile passage on a 71’ yacht J - or - An Associate Member must have made a clear commitment to achieve the qualifying passage in a realistic and reasonable time-scale. The time allowed is at the discretion of the General Committee and shall take account of all the circumstances of each individual applicant, but it shall not normally exceed three years. Anyway this really sort of put me off.
We reconsidered joining when we looked at joining the Suzie Too OCC rally. But our golden rule of sailing on our own schedule prevented us from doing so.. We are heading in the same direction as the Suzie Too but will not go as far north of Panama.
Sorry for the long-winded note but I am wondering if you have found the membership beneficial and to what extent do you use it? Any other OCC members, please chime in.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] OCC
Hello all,
We are members of OCC since 2016. Never been to a meeting but encountered fellow members in ports in the Pacific and always enjoyed their company. Met Port Officers who have been extremely helpful in tracking down services like riggers, refrigeration mechanics. I've written articles that have been published in the magazine .... I like it and definitely think it's worthwhile Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hi Mark, Liz and I have been members of the OCC for about a year and a half. We are also the OCC Port Officers for Hawaii, and have enjoyed helping some other members with some logistics for planning a trip to Hawaii. We found the Port Officer for the Caribbean side of Panama to be a big help when we transited Panama. OCC has Port Officers In most of the world you plan on visiting, and I think you will find them a useful resource. Bottom line is that we feel membership is well worth the meager cost. Let me know if you need any more info, or if we can be off assistance if you decide to join. Aloha, Steve and Liz OCC Hawaii Port Officers Aloha SM 72 Ko Olina, Hawaii

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] espar heater
Ryan Meador
Hi James, I had an Espar D5 Airtronic on my previous boat, a Gulfstar 37. I lived aboard with that heater through 7 Boston winters. It's a really great heater. I had it installed by Ocean Options in Tiverton, RI, which should be very close to you. They do excellent work, and you're going to want to get to know them even if you don't use them for the installation because they are the local repair and parts source. These heaters can be somewhat finicky when it comes to their fuel and air supplies. The fuel pump should be calibrated with your specific heater, something that I think you'll have to get Ocean Options to do. I also had a problem with my heater coking up a lot which was eventually resolved by lengthening the air intake hose, thus providing a more stable flow of air... not something I would have thought to try, but the Ocean Options guys figured it out. Also, their usual installation draws air from inside the boat for combustion, which creates negative pressure inside the cabin and thus draws in a little fresh air from outside. I think this is significant for keeping the boat dry in the winter. Expect a blower motor to last about 3-4 winters if you're living aboard full time and leave it running (I'd turn it down to the lowest setting when leaving for work in the morning, but leave it running so the pipes don't freeze). You'll want to get it professionally cleaned every summer. Even with the cleaning, you may find the glow plug and fuel screen coke up over the course of a winter and you need to replace it yourself -- get spares. It runs a lot cleaner with kerosene than diesel. On my old boat, I'd bring kerosene in jerry cans and dump them into the main fuel tank all winter, then in spring switch back to diesel so by the time I was ready to start the engine, there wasn't any kerosene left in the system. On an Amel, I think you might not want to do that... the tank is much larger and you may actually want to operate the generator during the winter if the power goes out. The tank might even be big enough to last you all winter long without refueling! I burned about a gallon per day averaged over the winter. The Amel, being significantly larger, may take more fuel. Really, the D5 seems like it's too small for this boat, but it's what Amel chose. Perhaps they didn't have full time New England liveaboard use in mind when they designed the system. You want the heater to be big enough that it spends most of its time on "low". Last winter, I heated my (new to me) Amel with the built-in electric heat supplemented with two space heaters. It was quite comfortable, even on the coldest days. I did have to take care not to exceed the power rating of the shore power cord. Ryan and Kelly

Not sure where this thread started, but I am writing to endorse your comments. We have been members for 5 years now, attended two AGMs and other formal gatherings and local get together. It is a great way to meet like minded folk. Spot the Flying Fish flag and just knock on the hull!! We were on the OCC Azores Rally in June and it certainly wasn’t cruising in company (apart from those on the SSB net). All 50 plus boats met for the first time on arrival at Horta. Without exception everyone thought the rally was exceptional - organisation and fun. There are members from all over the world but main centres in Europe (around UK) and USA. The Port Officers have been tremendous help wherever you go. There are a few Amel owner members. Ian and Linda Ocean Hobo SN 96

Re: Elongated hole on conical coupling
Hi Alan,
100 hours seems way too short. What do the bolts have on them? (Regular nuts, with or without split/lock washers and flat washers, Nylocs, Loctite ?) My orignal Amel installarion had bolts with a small diameter L shaped rod welded to each bolt head, that went into the adjacent (extra) hole on the Vetus dampner housing and that prevented rotation when tightening the nuts - very handy. It then used flat washers and lock washers on the nut end and a conventional nut (not nylock). They never loosened. Over the years I've switched to just nylocs and have had no loosening now for the 500 hours since I last pulled the engine, at which time it was still tight from the engine pull before that. Cheers, Craig SN68 ---In amelyachtowners@..., <divanz620@...> wrote : This would be very useful to know about if / when it happens. I just tightened all four bolts...they had loosened slightly over the last couple of months, not even 100 hrs of motoring since the last tightening session. What do others get in terms of hours ??

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Steering Failure on “Aloha” SM72
James Alton
Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
That is exactly the information that I was looking for! Thanks so much for your help in reposting this. I have added this to my permanent Amel files under “Steering System" for future reference. Bill, I also caught your recent helpful comment about the need to check fasteners in the steering system for tightness in another thread on coupling bolts. I will be going through the whole steering system just in case some or all of the play that I am noticing might be due to loose fasteners rather than the need for an adjustment in the cable. I have found that doing preemptive maintenance generally tends to work better for me than to wait for a failure. Besides the fact that I can often improve the performance of a system, I also get a chance to learn how things are put together and perhaps notice other items that need attention on the boat. Sometimes I will find seized fasteners or perhaps even break something in the process of making an adjustement which can cause a temporary new problem but I much prefer to encounter these little speed bumps in Port with access to more resources! Best, James SV Sueño Maramu #220
