Amel Yachts Forum Q&A main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io

About: The Amel Yacht Owners Group is over 20 years old and has over 1,400 active members. It is a Forum where questions and answers are shared. The Group has been modified several times to stay up-to-date with technology and content. Membership is restricted to Amel Yacht owners or those who believe an Amel yacht is in their future. The Amel Yacht Owners Group is independent from Chantier Amel, La Rochelle, France (www.amel.fr). Anything you post in this group is shared with all members. Sharing information about our Amels and experiences makes this an incredible community where we can help one another. This group is owned and supported by Bill Rouse, author of the Amel Book and owner of Amel Owners Yacht School (http://amelschool.com), whose mission is to support the owners of Amel yachts.

Important notice regarding Apple Email Addresses: The ​Apple email addresses ending with @icloud.com, @me.com, @mac.com, or any ICLOUD_RELAY_PROXY challenge our members because Apple will block @groups.io unless you go through the Apple Process of Allowing these email addresses. Chances are that if you use an Apple Email Domain, your application will not be approved because you will never see the approval emails we send from @groups.io.

Guidelines: We encourage postings that will genuinely help Amel owners. We encourage you to support the Amel brand.

  1. Please refrain from posting anything considered offensive or derogatory regarding Amel, Member, or Sponsor.
  2. Please refrain from political issues and rude or inappropriate language.
  3. Please refrain from criticism of persons or businesses in which you may have experienced unsatisfactory results because it would be one-sided without the ability of the other side to respond. Please use Yelp.com or Google Reviews for this.
  4. Register with your given name and sign postings with your name. If you own an Amel, include the boat name, model, and hull number. EXAMPLE: Jon Smith, WINDSTAR, SM 501
Facebook: We do not have an owner group on Facebook. We suggest an Amel Owner Facebook experience at Amel Owners. Bill Rouse has a Facebook page at Amel Owners Yacht School.
Subgroups: Any Member can join these Subgroups while applying for the main group or anytime after:
Classic Amels, including Santorin, Super Maramu, and A54, account for most Amels produced and owned today. Owners of these models do not have a Subgroup, as they make up the majority.
Older Amels, especially Sharki, Maramu, Mango, and other older models, to CLICK HERE for more info or to join.
This subgroup is for older model Amels, especially the over 500 boats made under the Sharki, Maramu, and Mango models. We encourage every owner of these models and other older models to join this Subgroup. The posting rules are the same as the Main Amel Yacht Owners Group.
Newer Amels, including the A50, A55, and A60. CLICK HERE for more info or to join  
This subgroup is for owners of Amel models newer than Santorin, Super Maramu, and A54. This Subgroup is specifically for the Amel models A55, A50, & A60. We encourage every owner of these models to join this Subgroup. The posting rules are the same as the Main Amel Yacht Owners Group.
Amel Yacht Tracking This Opt-In SubGroup was created for those joining the group to see where other Amels are located in the world. CLICK HERE to join. You will be asked for your Amel Model and boat name.
This is a great way to locate Amel owners near your current or planned location. PredictWind.com provides the tracking, and a subscription to PredictWind is required.  
Yachts For Sale This group is for any owner wanting to sell and any Amel admirer wishing to buy an Amel. CLICK HERE to join. 
  1. Amel yacht owners wanting to sell their Amel and Buyers wanting to buy an Amel can post details once every 60 days.  
  2. We suggest that any owner posting his Amel For Sale in YachtsForSale make a donation that the group will use for expenses. Over 100 currencies are accepted. Click on the DONATION button in the left column on the Amel Yacht Owners Group page. 
  3. After posting in the subgroup, members can make a summary post in the Main Group, advising all members of the Subgroup post...please save the details for the Subgroup posting. 
  4. The postings in any subgroup can only be viewed by joining that subgroup (sorry, we don't have an option with this). You can join a subgroup and choose NO EMAIL or other email options.

Amels that have completed a World Tour of 20,000+ nautical miles: Bold = More than once.
  At the request of many owners, we added a World Tour Listing (see this first posting). We do not define "World Tour" because the definition is up to each Amel owner. One Amel owner completing a World Tour aboard his Amel wrote, "I'm glad you noted "World Tour" rather than circumnavigation as that allows a wider interpretation." 

The order below is the date notified. To be added, email main+owner@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io.
