For those ordering or planning to order SM2k Genoa Rebuild Kits

Mr. VIGNANDO, the original builder of the Amel SM2k Genoa furler can be a challenging guy to deal with. It took me over a year to get his inventory amounts, photos of the "kit," and price. I never received the requested detailed list of parts in the kit. At one point, I made him an offer to buy his entire inventory, but he went silent for months. When got back in touch with me he acted as though I never made him an offer. I was relieved that he didn't answer my offer because I don't want to be in the parts business. At that time he began discussing these kits. Remember, he is the only source of the original parts. I wish someone else owned the parts.

I believe has delivered parts to about 6-10 Amel owners, so far.

Your patience will likely be challenged with M VIGNANDO. I am going to email him today and tell him that I am disappointed that ordering parts from him has been challenging for some Amel Owners.

I hope that this helps.

Very timely email. After several emails he finally responded with the freight forwarder info. Tremail in Switzerland. They are not responding to my emails and the phone number is not correct on their website. I do believe it is a legitimate business though. Whomever was successful dealing with the freight forwarder please let me know correct contact information. 

P.s Bill kid gloves please. He has my money AND parts. I don't want him to go dark again😉

All the best,
