These are the photos you sent me Eric. Chip KOA SM 430

I know some people had other experiences with them. My experience was the exact same as yours. Emrah did exactly what he said he would do and got my sails to Hawaii on time. I put them on and sailed t

Hello all, Anyone in the group know how to access the back side of this bolt. I noticed the bolt head not sitting flush to the chain plate while doing a daily inspection on passage. I don’t know if I

If you have a dishwasher, check that. Same thing happened, looked everywhere. Opened the dishwasher and it was full of water. Chip KOA #430

Bill, That is not a photo anomaly, the manufacture said they would replace them. They assured me there is no integrity issue, but I am not confident in that assessment. I will change them out. Thank y

Hello all, Has anyone seen ends like this on your rigging. I was assured by the manufacturer there is no integrity issue, it is merely from the swedge die. Is this normal for “higher end” rigging? If

Tim, Sorry man, I have no plans to be in the BA, only south from here. There are a few Amels up there I don’t recall the names. Good luck on your quest, it’s a good one. Chip KOA SM2K #430

Thank you Jason, the west to east route was an adventure for sure. Hard port tac most of the way posed challenges with the heads and vapor lock on the engine. 1st time cought me and we fried the impel

Thank you Bill, you were absolutely with us the entire trip, without your advice, reference resources and patients, we would not have been ready for that passage. I cracked the book open more than onc

Thank you Eric, I very much appreciate all the great advice. It was a good passage close hauled the majority of it. No major issues, KOA handled everything with ease. Chip KOA SM2K #430

Thank you Mohammad, Update here, I was able to get them refilled and hydro tested finally. The problem they had was taking the valves off. These fittings are not the normal ones this company was accus

I was just looking into those, prob tough to source in Hawaii. Do you recall the model number or any specifics on the installation. I like the fact it will not destroy the engine room even if the fire

Amelians, I have been reading through all the posts trying to sort out the engine room fire extinguishers. The long skinny one on the stb side of the companion way that is manually actuated appears to

Mark and fellow Amel owners, I can tell you I just had an outstanding experience with QSails as far as the ordering process and receiving my sails. Emrah and his crew did exactly what they said they w

John, I have noticed this on my rig as well. I keep tweaking the sheets and jib cars to get the jib sheet axis straight through the center of gen then I keep adjusting it. It calms it down but still h

Eric, Was that Acmo rigging? CB SM2K #430

Tony I was not exactly in the lifting chain plates. Aft you have to clear the prop obviously, once past that you should be clear. Forward, I have two transducers so had to split them. Hope this helps

Kent, I just did both, fore and aft heads on my boat. We did not take that panel off. We used a 90deg drill and a 1.5 inch Forster bit to ream out the copper we could not pull out. Then used a 2.5 inc

That is great news Peter, I love hearing that. A sense of normalcy is a great thing. Now if we can get the people who make sail material back on board, we might just have a beach fire after all!! Fair
