Genoa Furling Direction

Heaving to a Ketch

How to buy privately?
Malcolm, You should have an escrow account. I don’t think I would ever consider selling or buying an expensive item internationally without an escrow account to protect both the buyer and seller. http

24 volt motor
I believe the Leroy Somers motor is exclusive to Amel. Unless, you have a part number different from Amel's for the same motor. I was told this from a large LS distributor who traced the stock number.
