Pat - My sailmaker put an Amel Logo on my main with typical adhesive sail number material (I think he just copied it from the original sail). Unfortunately, an edge peeled up when the sail was furled and made a real mess such that we could neither furl nor unfurl the main. Took me two hours up the mast to get it all separated. Took it back and he put a new one on but sewed it. End of problem.

Bill,
I've been using the Airmail application with my Iridium Go to get weather. I usually request the text forecast, for my area. They have a catalog of the weather reports available. You select which report you want and then specify how many times per day and then how many days. It's the same as the NOAA process, just a bit more automated. Duane

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Baby on Board and where to go in the Bahamas -
tfortner1975
Hello Eric, Congratulations on the little one! Our daughter was born in July (in the UK) last year and arrived on the boat 2 months later (in Phuket). We’ve been living full time and traveling coastal. We are about to do the Passage to the East Rally which heads down the Straight to Singapore and then over to Borneo. As you can imagine my wife has had some concerns with an infant on a boat. I’m sure you’ve thought of most of these items but here is a quick list that has affected us. - It is pretty much child proof already (no low sockets, locking doors and cabinets, rounded edges etc. - We are in a Santorin so the berthing might be different. Our aft cabin had a small cushioned section with a leeboard on the starboard side. I relocated it a foot more inboard and now my kid has her own bed in our cabin with all sides protecting her from rolling out - she’s now a week shy of 8 months and pulling herself over them so we are getting two Lee cloths sown up. One for her bed and the other for the bunk in the saloon. You might opt for the pilot bunk though. - We bought a Salus Infant Vest for her once she was 6 months. She uses this to chill in the water with us. A great vest for kids as no matter how they enter the water they end up face up. I’ve tested it well and am positive it works. - In the tender we strap her in a chest harness to one of us. We are both competent swimmers and while she is attached our only role is to look after her. No other tender duties. Not that we couldn’t but even a simple task of tying up to the dock is not worth it. A slip of the foot in the wet dinghy, you’d fall forward and crush her. So we just play it safe and make sure there is always positive control. - We don’t have as much space as an SM so we opted for a small umbrella type stroller. We would prefer something larger that would recline back so she could sleep / nap when we are off the boat. - Welcome to single handling everything. That kid is a non stop attention taker. Not by choice, it’s just an infant that poops by itself. That’s the only thing it does on its own. Everything else is on us. So one of us is off boat duty and on kid duty. So night passages are almost a no go for us at the moment. As neither one of us gets an ‘off watch’ time to sleep ourselves. So we plan our passages accordingly. - Car seat. We have a quality seat that gets strapped down in the saloon and she gets strapped in it should the weather get bad or I absolutely need a hand with something. We do not strap her to us and try to multi task the boat duties. - A hammock in the shade of the cockpit for naps and such. So she isn’t always down below by herself. - A small portable chair that sets on a seat. Like a high chair, minus the legs. - Food and nappies. Plan well. We are in Southeast Asia and trying to find things my wife is happy with is time consuming and costly when we do find some imported items. I suppose this is dependent on your location though. - Shots. If you’re electing to get shots for the kid plan out the locations. As the shots are given based on the age of the kid. - Passport right away for foreign travel - Ro Sham Bo sunglasses for infants (when she leaves them on). - A large umbrella for tender travel. Good luck and enjoy. Trevor Iris, SN 027 Phuket

Re: Furuno Fax 30 (Weatherfax)...Repair?....Worthwhile?
greatketch@...
To download weatherfaxes over the air I use my Icom 710, a Mac laptop, and a freeware program called "Multimode Cocoa".
http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/multimodeOSX.html Works a treat. There were some issues connecting the Mac to the audio output of the radio, but it has been so long since I did it, I have to confess I have forgotten the issue and solution. I do remember it was an Apple specific issue... Multimode Cocoa is a program written by, and for, ham radio geeks, so it is not always the most user friendly thing around, but it works. Getting the synoptic charts by satellite would be nice, that way I wouldn't have to worry about the broadcast schedule. Unfortunately, it would overload our satellite data plan pretty quickly. That, and the email request function for the charts from the USCG is a 1980's technology solution. It works, but is a total PITA. Bill Kinney SM#160, Harmonie Great Guana Cay, Abacos, Bahamas

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Furuno Fax 30 (Weatherfax)...Repair?....Worthwhile?
webercardio <webercardio@...>
The manual says in chapter 6.6 troubleshouting something about the DIPswitshes and way to use them. Password furuno? Wolfgang Weber SY Elise Amel 54 Wanderer came equipped with a weatherfax from the factory. It hasn't worked, and since I'm going through all the electronic equipment I decided to figure out whether it was me or the Furuno that was messing up. I disconnected the ethernet plug from the Navnet Hub, and plugged it into my laptop. The manual notes you can log onto the weatherfax at http://172.31.8.1 I could not log onto the address. The LED in the Fax 30 was following the script and appeared to indicate all was well with the unit. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Is it even worth bothering with? My Admiral insists on a Satellite Phone for safety so we get our weather that way. Duane

Re: Furuno Fax 30 (Weatherfax)...Repair?....Worthwhile?
SV Perigee
Hi All,
Yes, Bill is pretty spot-on, as usual. I am facing the same dilemma, as the FAX-30 was working when we last headed out offshore, but is no longer, even though the browser page comes up on the TZT. I have not yet tried a direct connect - thanks for the IP address. There is another consideration. My FAX-30 can only store up to 12 pages before the memory gets over-written. Better than one or two pages by satellite (per day), but still not the greatest solution. I have had limited success using the iPad and a simple HF receiver. Haven't yet tried the IC-802 HF/SSB into the iPad or Mac/PC. If I really need the synoptic or forecast weather chart, I use the satellite. Then I have the file on iPad or Mac/PC, for later comparison and hard-copy print-out if absolutely necessary. Not sure I could do this via the Fax-30. Yours aye, David SV Perigee, SM#396 St Maarten

Re: Cayman Islands2?
greatketch@...
Rick and Linda,
I don't have personnel experience sailing in the North Sound of Grand Cayman, but we have been spending a lot of time this year in the Abacos, and there are many days I WISH we had as much water as is charted in Grand Cayman's North Sound! Some days I feel like we are giving the turtle grass a crew-cut with the keel wings! It is rather disconcerting to be sailing along at 6 knots and seeing the sand swirl up in the wake behind you... This advice might not apply to you, you might be completely comfortable with this, but in case anybody else lives in fear of water less than 3 meters deep.... It has taken a bit of attitude adjustment for me to get comfortable sailing in very skinny water. We move around on a rising tide, although with a tide range of about a foot or so this doesn't buy you much in the Caymans, but every inch counts. If there is a risk of coral heads sticking up from the bottom, we ALWAYS move with good light and a bow lookout. Better if your lookout is up high on the spreaders, but I haven't been able to talk Karen into that--yet! We have actually only touched once while sailing in the Bahamas this year, and that was up onto a sand bank at 5 knots with 5 feet of water over it when the charts all said more than 8. We look for an anchorage with 9 feet, but we settle for a charted depth of as little as 7 feet. Yes, that leaves us with six inches to spare at MLW. We haven't done it yet this season, but it is not a disaster to sit on a sand or mud bottom for an hour at dead low water. We always check with the dinghy around the swing circle of the anchor for surprise shallow spots. We have become a bit cavalier about bottoms of sand and soft mud, and more that a bit paranoid of rock and coral. Seems like the right attitude. We have three different chart sources we use. Navionics (in the chart plotter and on the PC), the NV paper charts, and the TRANSAS CE charts on the iSailor iPad app. Each with different survey data. We find the discrepancies frustrating--and educational. At least in the US southeast, and Bahamas the TRANSAS CE charts have been the most consistently reliable, but none are perfect. Be sure your depth sounder is accurate. Makes no difference if you display the depth of water, or depth under the keel, but check it to be sure you can trust it, and that it can actually tell you the difference between 6.9 feet and 6.6 feet. We always record a track on the chartplotter. That way we always know a way back out of whatever trouble we get into.

Does anyone have any experience with their Amel in North Sound or anywhere around the Caymans? Gracias! Rick & Linda Grimes S/V Rascal (SM2K #404) Shelter Bay, Colon, Panama PS. This may be a duplicate of a message I sent earlier (with little confidence that it was posted.) If so, sorry about that!

Hi Danny,
I dealt with Sylvie Gazzurelli and her email was sylvie at acmo dot fr. Very helpful and responsive. I'd recommend the original design for your SM but switch to right-handed turnbuckles to save a lot. Why AMEL used left handed ones is a mystery.
