I’m switching from Cat to mono... Spend some time in rough weather on a Cat before you commit. Just a suggestion.

As I am a skeptic, I visited the Amel factory and talked to Olivier Racoupeau (the current Amel designer) and the boom supplier, a couple of months ago. It was by far the most impressive boat factory I've ever visited, not in terms of automation but in attention to detail. Everything that goes on an Amel boat is designed and scrutinized to make sure it lasts and performs the way it should. Every supplier is selected very carefully (the boom supplier went on and on about how specific Amel is about quality and timely delivery requirements). The mast & boom alone are pieces of art/perfection. I also visited the CNB and Privilege factories. Their priorities were very different (That's all I have to say about that, Forest Gump)...

Anyway, I went to the factory with the intention to like the Amel 55 (and buy a used one) but I ended putting a deposit on the Amel 50, with May 2019 delivery. Over 15 of them are already sold. Mine will be hull #19 or 20, I believe.

My wife and I are very excited to be part of the Amel family. I can certainly understand why it is almost like a cult. Amel's are special boats from a special factory.

Thank you! I hope the 50 proves itself like the older Amel’s. I don’t want to sidetrack this topic.

Happy New Year everyone!
