Hi Ian and all, Capital idea! I have also thought that a model specific sub section of the site might serve to promote more discourse among owners of similar boats and be more efficient. For instance

Hi all, Regarding running lights, our early SN actually has no deck level running lights, mast tricolor only. I have ordered the lights recommended by Ken, the 3nm LED, and I appreciate the recommenda

Hello All, I had posted availability of 4 pr of the silicone seals that I had available from my order of 10 (min order size). Since they have been spoken for and I have had some additional interest, I

Hello All, I am ordering 10 pr (min order size) of the silicone BT seals pioneered by Jose Venegas a while back. Although I have not used them myself they are apparently quite effective and I am anxio

Hi Ken, I’d second Eric’s suggestion to use 4200 (or Sikaflex 291), 5200 is primarily an adhesive, not really needed in your application, additionally they are more flexible than 5200 thus less likely

Thanks James, Craig and Courtney, Makes perfect sense and certainly accounts for the variability in furler/outhaul ratio/speed. Sort of a joystick pas de deux. Now the hard part if is getting to the b

Hi All, It’s dumb (but short) question time regarding furling an Amel in general. Are the furler and outhaul geared to use simultaneously? or is it an alternating actuation type maneuver in which case

Hi Eric, Sounds like you have a perfectly good system that just needs repair, so I’m not advocating this for you but just thought I would take this opportunity to share my experiences with a compostin

Hello Bill and All, I would be interested in the audio only option, as it seems that 35 active participants would be plenty for the relatively short meeting time. Any topic would of interest, schedule

Hi Paul, I can unreservedly recommend Cleopatra in Preveza, it s the cleanest, most well organized marina I have seen and have heard same from several world cruisers. Average prices, not a steal but n

Hi, I have no qualms endorsing the PSS dripless shaft seal as I have had one on my Newport 41 for 10 yrs, with no problems at all. I inspect it frequently and have seen no actual wear and only slight

Thanks for sharing this Miles, helpful to those of us who have yet to experience such conditions and or are relative novice Amel owners. Best, Dave Liesse SN006

Hi Jarek, I second Craigs assessment, our SN has them and i am comfortable that they are cosmetic but haven t ground them out to fully explore. Dave Liesse SN006

Hi James, I would defer to Craig and Ian regarding the headliner replacement project since Liesse had this done professionally when we bought her. I appreciate your suggestion regarding the trim piece

Hi Miles, Just a thought here. I also have a small leak there and have temporarily sealed it externally so can not speak to the logistics of the headliner directly. Liesse has had the entire headliner

Hi Orion, We have a beautiful Santorin sloop well equipped for Med cruising (which coincidently we purchased after also seriously considering both a Contest or Hallberg Rassy). For instance she has an

Thank you Eric, Davi, Bill, Olivier and all for your suggestions regarding the align issue. At present it seems yo be well aligned, done fairly meticulously but sans tool. The vibration is completely

Hello all, We are in Gaeta Italy where mechanics are trying to alleviate a mild but distinct engine vibration noted under load. I'd rather not go into how this occurred but suffice it to say that movi

Hi All, Very interesting thread. Eric, the Ocean Navigator article did not specify, but for some reason I assumed you used the stock stern cleats to affix the JSD during your hurricane encounter, if s

We have Spade on our Santorin, so no help here on sizing for you, but i will say that we are planning on switching to 25 kg Rocna as i feel the Spade can be difficult to set in harder packed sand, ( h
