I helped a friend bring his Amel up from the Baha last year. 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.
