Been lusting after Amels for 20 years...

What a cushy ride. I brought my racing gloves assuming I would be handling lines. The most work I did was push buttons. Roll the sail out. Roll the sail in.Trim the sail in. Let it out. All motorized. This is a boat with a main, genoa and mizzen. I got a blister on my finger. All the comforts of home. Wash, dryer. Huge refrigerator/ freezing. Umm cold beer. Three air conditioning systems. I brought my foul weather gear. Sitting under the hard dodger I had to put on a long sleeve shirt on the midnight watch when it was blowing 25 to 30. If I went long term cruising I would like to have a boat like the Amel.

I was quite envious of the 45 footer. I could be found cheating on my 37+ with a Grand Soleil 46.3 http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1998/Grand-Soleil-46.3-3056563/Seattle/WA/United-States I fell in love with the GS46.3 when I saw S/V Sea Wolf at Delaware City Marina. https://m.facebook.com/SeawolfAdventure/?_rdr Of course there is the Amel Super Maramu 2000. Maybe not the fastest... Maybe not even the prettiest, but boy are they well built and capable boats.

My wife and I (and 2 yr old & 1month old sons) are starting to look at our next boat. We've looked at the 36xl and the 37+/40, but have not sailed either boat.Here are our particulars: * We are Pacific Northwest sailors out of Oregon. * We currently have a 30 mkII, which we love, but the boys are cramping our space already. * Primarily we cruise the Columbia River, year round, but are planning on keeping the boat in South Puget Sound summer 2018 and running it up and down the coast back to Oregon Spring and Fall. * We double hand, with lots of single handing as well. * I race at least once a week and get a few ocean races in during the year. I would like to race our next boat occasionally on some double handed ocean races and occasional buoy race, but it is not completely necessary as there are always other boats I can race with. * We generally spend every other weekend on the boat throughout most of the year, so we spend more time aboard than most. * I don't want a 'fixer' as I feel it is a waste of time and money. * We don't want a shoal draft. * An aft cabin is a must for us, which puts most everything pre-1988 out of consideration as far as I can tell * Open to other brands (dare I say) but prefer to stay C&C. Let me know if you have any ideas. Best, Kevin _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
