Hey Paul. I am very interested in where you get your information that a few Amels have been dismasted in similar conditions? I know of only two Super Maramus ever being dismasted other than in a collision. Bear in mind almost 500 were built between 1998 & 2006 & many have traveled huge distances across oceans. I wonder if many (any?) other brands have this reputation.

Hey Wally. No. The Amel SM deck is faux teak. Just gelcoat in the mold. Super pragmatic.

Lol!! Dee is just a BIT competitive hey? PS. She loved your comment John.

​@sailingjaygo, made a rod for your own back. Anything less than winning is now unacceptable lol.

Haha. Gotta take the wins when you can. Many a world champion has won a regatta without winning a race in the final though. Consistency is the key! 😁😁👍👍

Definitely can be! 👍

Wow. Thanks. 👍

Thanks guys. You two are going to have an awesome adventure together. 💕💕

Hey Peter. When the wind is that strong it doesn’t swing much at all. We basically trim the sails & set the course to put the least amount of load on the gear as possible. Hard to believe, but you can get the boat into a bit of a rhythm when you get the wave angle & sail set up right. You still get the periodic really big waves that knock you off balance though. Nighttime, you are sailing by feel & instruments.

Thanks Matthew.

Thanks Steven. Maybe appeared chill because we were both sick? 😁. I must admit though that neither of us panic when under pressure & this helps a lot.

Thanks Radu

We do eat quite a lot of fish, but never take more than we need and are hyper-conscious of waste. Each to their own I suppose. With regard to our boat, we seriously feel privileged to have her. The Amel Super Maramu is a seriously great boat designed for the type of cruising we do. The coastal cruising is relatively easy and can be done safely and comfortably on many different designs. Open ocean sailing in bad weather is a totally different proposition and it is at those times we feel safe on this boat.

@@sailingjaygo Vielen Dank tolles Schiff ich gucke weiter euern Kanal😁😁😁

thanks mate. Hope you enjoy

The weather system was an “East Coast Low” with wind & waves coming from the South. As the wind increased we furled the main totally & sailed under heavily reefed Genoa & heavily reefed mizzen. This has the effect of still keeping the boat powered up, but massively opening the slot. Our course was about 70 degrees to wind & swell. We could definitely make no headway pointing any higher. We did also start the engine once we encountered the Northbound current to ensure we made it into the Lee of Moreton Island. All boats & crew are different though. This is just what worked for us & our boat in those conditions. Thanks for your great question & generous comment.

Thanks D.M. for such a generous comment. 👍

Hey Cooper. She is a 1998 Amel Super Maramu.

Thanks Gregoire. They are great boats. We feel privileged to have her.

Cheers back at ya Dennis. 👍💕

Most yachties capture rainwater for drinking. 👍

Thanks Bill. Appreciate the comment. Definitely right about the lesser of two evils. 👍

Thanks Josh. You are right. It is hard to get on video. It seemed even bigger at the time than the video shows! Rob.

Hey Mark. Have tried it. Unfortunately doesn’t work for Dee. Adele the same.

Hey Nic, Ours is a Powerdive “Double Deck Snorkel”. I have friends with different versions & suspect that you very much get what you pay for with this stuff. The quality varies dramatically.

First I’ve heard of that

Thanks

Wow, thanks Tim. We used to race together & have learned to trust each other when we are under pressure. For us, that history helps a lot when conditions get tough.

We definitely slept well after tucking in behind Moreton Island!

Livin on the edge mate! 😁😁. Lol.

We think OZ is an awesome sailing destination although it seems to us that bureaucrats put unnecessary obstacles in the way that make it more difficult than it needs to be. I agree with you on the name. What a w#nk. (Not having a go at the vast majority of the staff there though, just the institutionalised clowns that decide on the processes).

Thanks Francis.

Hi Arie. 1998 Amel Super Maramu. 👍

Lol

Thanks Chamaleon. I must admit that it didn't seem easy at the time. 👍

Thanks Poly. ✔️ to all of your points. 👍

Lol. It takes 15-20 to get Jaygo wound up! 👍

Love it James! My only experience with Splicing the Mainbrace involves seeing how much free rum you can drink in 2hrs. Turns out, quite a lot!

Thanks Lucky Dog. Depends where we are I suppose.

Thanks (I think?). I have no idea what that emoji is. 😁

Lol. Not wrong there John. That shirt went into the rag bag as soon as I took it off. 😁. Rob.

​@sailingjaygo yep, if I run out of rags I've always got a few t shirts that qualify lol.

Love it.

Thanks Yassir. Very kind of you.

Hey Peter. It is tough to really capture the true sea state on camera. 👍

@@sailingjaygo Cheers you did well ;)

Thanks mate.

Amel Super Maramu (53’).

@@sailingjaygo you nailed a subscriber

Thanks Charles. I hope you enjoy Dee’s videos. 👍

Thanks mate.

Great comment. Yes, that other boat was definitely in northbound current with the water rushing out of Moreton Bay.

Thanks Seth. She really is a well found boat.

Sorry to say Roman, but you have no idea what you are talking about. I wonder what drives a person to make such a comment.

@@sailingjaygo Just an opinion. If that would ever happen to me I would feel and think the same. Nothing personal. Be smart. Stay safe.

No need to express that opinion. And you did make it personal. Have a great day. Rob.

👍. Sounds like a great plan.

Fortunately it isn’t like this often. The rewards, on the other hand, are enormous. 👍

Thanks Jens.

Hey Brandon. Dead right mate. Modern equipment has made it a completely different game now.

Aye.. Remembberzz it well mates

😁👍

Yep. We prefer not to be out in that as well!
