Greetings from the Med.
Hi everyone,
I have just inherited a 1978 45 ft Maramu cruiser so I am looking forward to
reading and joining in this cruiser forum.
I have sailed a 30 ft Bavaria before, so I am wondering how the amel maramu behaves.
Off to gen up on previous postings now......
regards
Davidundalicia

Welcome, David.
Lucky you! Amel makes a nice boat.
I learned from a friend who has one that the designer was blind, so he designed his boats to be easily sailed by a blind person--handholds within easy reach, helm station controls identifiable by feel, etc.

Welcome from South Africa to the greatest forum. You will find lots of strongly held opinions and the members are not shy but they seem to be nice and polite.

Hi Jerry and Denver,
This certainly is a great forum and I have been known for my strong opinions in the past.
As I have already read the rules, I can understand why the members are also polite and understanding.
Thanks for the welcome.....

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
