SM & SN Genoa Furler Rebuild

CW Bill Rouse
 

All SM & SN owners:

There are currently only a few rebuild kits with no motors available for 2500 Swiss Franks plus shipping. When these are gone, they are gone. The alternative for you is to replace it with a  FACNOR electric furler for about 12,000 €.

For more information, please follow this link (https://preparetocastoff.blogspot.com/p/files-requested-by-amel-yacht-owners_3.html) to download the file named "Amel SM Genoa Furler Rebuild Kit from the OEM Manufacturer REVISED.pdf

Pierangelo VIGNANDO <vikasa.vignando@...> +41 79 447 214 2 is the owner of the company that originally made these for Amel. You must communicate with him in French only. I do not know him well enough to vouch for him, but he is elderly and slow to respond. It will be a little frustrating. Patience and tenacity will help. He is the only person who has these parts. In the past several years I have recommended him to other SM owners who have purchased parts and even a complete Genoa Furler (the complete furlers are gone). 

When the parts are gone, they are gone. If it were me, I would buy these even if I did not need them today, and even if I never needed them because they will always be worth what you paid for them to other Amel owners.

If your furler looks like this, this kit is for you. Note the gray manual furling hub may be different but similar with holes...see the last photo
