Aquarius Boat tour - AMEL Super Maramu 2000 / Sailing Aquarius #21

Happy Holidays from Aquarius! Please find our most recent and most requested video – “Aquarius Boat tour” – AMEL Super Maramu 2000. This was the first video by Ken with new software, Final Cut Pro, and there was a bit of a learning curve. I have been pushing Ken to finish the Vid for a few months, but this was worth the wait!!!! In a very detailed way, I think too much detail sometimes, Ken shows a number of the system aboard Aquarius and how they work, like bow thruster and a look into the engine room, and….. so much more! Let us know if you would like to see more! Subscribe, and LIKE our videos!!!

Beautiful boat and well done video. But I have to take issue with the idea that you can't "turn on a dime" without a bow thruster. I did it on my first attempt with an Island Packet 440... spun 180 degrees in a tight space. I'll grant you that it's easier with a bow thruster, especially if there's any wind, but if you understand your prop walk and how to kick the stern around without moving forward you can "turn on a dime" without a thruster.

Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 5 years ago
All boats are a bit different, and depending on the type of prop you have you might not have much prop walk. A Super Maramu with the bow thruster inoperable is a tough boat to handle in a marina.

You can 'turn on a dime' without a bow-thruster - look up the 'back and fill' technique, you never know when that bow-thruster is going to fail to pop out for you!!

Replaced a majority of the hoses in New Zealand, and had all the cuts from the hose clamps to prove it. There are a few more hoses that I would like to get change god next time we are out of the water. Probably Malaysia!

We get better and smarter each day, and we are learning more and more from the sailers we meet along the way. But, by no measure, are we experts! We try really hard not to make any big mistakes, but we still make mistakes. As soon as a sailer starts to think they're an expert, that's when he/she makes the big mistake. I would rather have the sweaty palms when we are doing something challenging, this means I'm thinking about what could go wrong and doing my best to make sure it does not go wrong... Every passage, every time I take out the sails, I am always thinking about what could go wrong and what would I do if "this" or "that" happened. Just hope we can keep going without one of those Holy Sxxx moments. Fair Winds

Balooner?
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 5 years ago
A Ballooner is basically a Genoa made of spinnaker cloth. It goes up a track on the forestay, just like the Genoa. If you are going downwind, dead down, to 30 degrees off dead down, you fly the Genoa poled out on Port, and the ballooner poled out on Starboard. It's a really comfortable way to sail downwind. I don't know of any other boat besides the Amel Super Maramu that is rigged this way for downwind sailing. Fair winds

I wish I had a 40' or 50 foot sailboat . I would never be able to afford one . If I had one I would like to sail around the world . I am a 64 year old retired man that lives in New Orleans . I have always wanted a sailboat , but making a living and raising a family I never had time or money for any boat . If you have one that you don't use and it is in good condition give it to me . I will use it often on Lake Pontchartrain . Then After I was used to it I would sail it south into the Gulf of Mexico and go into the Caribbean sea and through the Panama canal and be on my way around the world . Send me an email and I will come get it . Seckyreid@gmail.com

I have worked on these and getting parts from Amel is near impossible. Smart more is do not purchase one.
Hell after about 6 months of trying to get parts they finally told us it was not possible. Solution redesign the boats systems.

Eddie Ohearn - 5 years ago
Thank you but my experience is not just with one of their boats it was with every single boat that came into the boatyard, my guess is at least 8.

They are not dependable when looking for parts or trying to solve an issue. But if they have parts they will send them because they are making money with support that is only technical they do not so you are left out to dry.
28 years building and repair and they are by far the worst in my experience

Hello Eddie,
Sorry you had a bad experience with Amel. Sometimes Amel is slow responding, but I have received everything I needed from Amel for Aquarius. If you still need support Amel owners run a Yahoo Group, where owners talk about issues and how they resolved them. I have found the Yahoo group very helpful in my times of need! Fair Winds

Full marks. 100 out of 100 for,,,,, selecting the most aggravating sound track known to man. What is it about vblogers that seem to think their videos will be better with a soundtrack? Does youtube force you to select "fingernails down the blackboard" soundtracks? Note that I'm not making reference to music. No way in the world it can be called music. Nice looking boat but I could only get through about half of your vodeo before my ears screamed at me to stop.

To sail this boat you need a masters degree in electronics, one other in mechaniscs and to be the luckyest guy in the universe because if some of those hundreds of electronics fails on you you are DEAD in the midle of theo cean...........just my two cents.

Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 5 years ago
Every boat of similar size as Aquarius has roughly the same amount of electronics on board. Unless a sailer would like to go back to the time of navigating the seas without modern electronics? This might be commendable, but would be very difficult. Not sure if you can have the same level of safety without Radar, AIS, VHF, Chart Plotter etc... I don't know of any boat of the same size of Aquarius without these systems that crossed the Pacific this year with us. And you don't need a Masters Degree in Electronics to operate previously mentioned systems. Fair winds!

Hello, I find her on a tiny French local newspaper ( dark blue sailing boat ). The owner take the heartbreaking decision to sell it, he has run out of money to finish the work... I just waiting for the survey to take a look and to give me his opinion... In others words , waiting for his green light. But there a huge amount of cleaning and work need to be done.If you interested by this story, I keep you advice how is going... Bests regards , Jay.

All the positive comments posted here I absolutely agree with. The Delos references must be curling your toe nails by now lol. Found you and Super Maramu thru Delos and never regretted it. It's the blue-water to own. Your detailed walk-thru is awesome and I will be watching it again for sure as it is an education; very clear and well laid out. Congratz
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
I don't mind the references to Delos! In fact, Delos produces the absolute BEST sailing videos at this time, and it's nice sometimes being compared to the Rock Stars of Sailing Vids. But there are some Tribesman must think we are in some way "Competition" to Delos, and one wrote us a 4 paragraph comment why Aquarius should stop making videos....

The Amel Super Maramu, is a great option for cruising. Cruising = OUT of the marina, and moving from place to place! If you want a weekend sailing vessel, do a few club races, and anchor out a few times a year there are many other sailboats that will be comfortable and look good in a marina. BUT, if your goal is to circumnavigate solo, or with a partner, the SM is a perfect Sailing Vessel for the job. It will keep you safe in almost any weather. With 35kts gusting to to 45kts with 4M seas, your not going to be comfortable in anything, but at least we knew we were going to be safe!! Ketch rig with the smaller sails, is the way to go when you are short handed sailing. And as one frenchman said in Trinidad... " O.. is that your Super Maramu over there..." I said "Yes", and he said " Your fingers must get really tired sailing her". And I said "Indeed"...

Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
Aquarius was listed for 200,000 euros, and I didn't negotiate. The dollar was very strong, and because of that it was simply - a great deal. Most people just talk about how much the boat cost, but the real question is... The total cost to have Aquarius ready to sail across an ocean?? That total was about $270,000. (Spares, Solar, Wind, Arch, Standing Rigging, Sails, Safety Equipment, etc) .. And after the purchase price, and all the modifications, we are spending between $800 to $1500 on average per month for maintenance. This includes Bottom Paint, UpKeep, Stuff that Breaks, etc.....

If you are looking for an Amel Super Maramu 2000, I know of one for sale. Not Aquarius.... Rascal is the name of the SM2K for sale, and it looks great and is ready for a circumnavigation. If you are looking, let me know. If you are a member of the Amel User Group on Yahoo, you can contact Rascal.... Search through the emails for "Rascal". I am very sad that Rick is selling his Amel SM2K, but hope he can find a good home for his little Rascal!

There are boats that are more bullet proof, but there are trade offs with all boats. Other boats are less bullet proof, but they are fast enough to run from the weather. Tradeoffs!

Well done, thanks for this Maramu tour.
Really love her beautiful lines with the lines closing in to the stern and the angled stem.
Not that butt ugly straight broad stern as the modern designs have and the vertical stem.
Bet she dives her bow far more pleasantly and comfortable into the waves than the others.
Very beautiful yacht.

Wolfgang Speckardt
Wolfgang Speckardt - 6 years ago
I found your video coincidentally. And I love it. I did not read all the comments below, so it might be that someone mentioned my arguments before. In more than 50 years of sailing I can tell, that the Amel Supermaramu by far is the best boat I have ever sailed. And I sailed a lot of them. There are two very special things I would like to mention in addition to your perfekt introduction.

First of all: Buying an Amel Yacht means to have no choice in changing the boat in any part. Take it or leave it. What seams to be a lack turns out to be very wise. The reason is, that all the built in rooms, parts and furnitures are part of the very massive hull.
Any locker, for example, is a completely laminated part of the hull which makes the hull even stronger and will never make any noise in many years. Only the wooden front is put on top and finishes the furniture. Thats why you can not have any part of the ship at any other place.

Second: Henry Amel inherited his shipyard to his employees when he died. So every worker ist a personal owner of the company. I maintain: You can feel this by sailing an Amel ship.

I congratulate you to your best choice and will certainly follow your block.

Best greetings from Germany and always have a handful of water under Aquarius' keel.

Amel put Stainless diesel tanks in all the Super Maramu's, and I haven't heard of any of the Amel Owners I have talked to have a problem with the stainless fuel tanks. But, with that said, there could be better materials now.

Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
We have a very small storm jib that we could put up, but never have. I could not imagine trying to take down the Genoa in heavy weather. We would just furl our Genoa in until it's small and keep going. 1/4 Genoa and 1/2 mizzen is what I would probably use in heavy weather.

I have already said this but I have to say it again, absolutely excellent video. Probably the best video on the entire net explaining a blue water sailboat, great job. I am not a cruiser, just a river boater in the US therefore I know very little about blue water boats but if I had my choice it would be a AMEL and nothing else. I watched SV Delos race a cocky little guy with his so called hi performance cat as he described it. The cat got the jump but once Delos got rolling it was like shifting into high gear and the race was now over.
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
Thanks!  SV Delos is almost identical to SV Aquarius, as both are a Super Maramu 2000s.  SM's are fast with Side wind, and down wind.  But, upwind a SM could not catch a turtle.  That said, a SM is made for going around the world, and most of the time it's side wind, or down wind.  Mr. Amel did it right.

Not a bad thing, you'll meet great people that are helpful and insightful. The rest of the AMEL owners have been so helpful. There were about 490 Super Maramu's made, and most are well maintained and moving around the world. This is a boat made to circumnavigate. When Mr. Amel designed the SM he said... "Just bring a few cloths, she is ready to take you around the world!".
Norwood Milton

I hope you guys are getting a commission check from AMEL, cause you do the best sales job for buying one of these boats. I have seen many different companies do a video on them, but they aren't half as good as this one. Excellent presentation, and makes me want to get one of these awesome blue water machines.
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
There are always trade-offs when looking at boats. Some are fast, some are easy to sail, some point upwind well, some are comfortable in a marina, some are comfortable at sea, some are good for a day sail, and others good for a circumnavigation. Not one design is good for everything. The AMEL will not point well up wind. If you want to race windward leewards, the AMEL will come in last place. But, that said, a circumnavigation is mostly downwind, or sidewind.....Very little upwind. The Amel SM is not the most comfortable boat if you're going to sit in a Marina, because it's made to explore, and cross oceans. Why you ask.... The beam on Aquarius is 15 feet, they same as a Beneteau 54. If you look inside the Beneteau 54 it's open in the Salon. VERY OPEN. Which is so nice in the Marina, Beautiful! But, Think about trying to get from one end of the salon to the other leaning 20 degrees, or get knocked down when you are on high side of 15 feet. OUCH! The Amel seems less open, because it also has more storage than other designs.

Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
I would like to do a video of some of the stuff that's out there in the sailing community. FOR FREE! There are charts on the chart table computer that Jemp bought and cover the entire world. But, on my personal computer I have OPEN CPN. Download the software and find a sailor with the charts. They will give them to you. I have 2 full sets for the world (CM93 and CM94), and some special charts for certain areas. I connect my laptop to the Vesper 8000 AIS with WiFi and this makes my computer a moving map. At any time when close to shore we have 3 to 5 different maps going at the same time. If any map shows us is less then 10 meters of water we are moving very slow.

Very well done walkthrough. We had a 1994 SM that we sailed for 3 years in the Caribbean and South Pacific with our 2 kids (15 & 17 when we wrapped up in Australia) from 2014 to 2017. LOVED her.

It looks like you found a nice example that was well maintained. Congrats.

One tip I got from another Amel owner was raising and lowering the ballooner on a beam reach so that it lays over against the genoa. It makes it incredibly easy to do and I could actually do it singlehanded that way. I've got some video of lowering it that way as we approached Tanna in Vanuatu. I'll see if I can get it loaded up and send you a link.

Safe sails.

Wow, great vlog. Like so many others, Delos brought me here and I've now subscribed to yours. Can you use your amenities AC, washer, and dishwasher frequently or does it depend on how/where you're sailing. Are you mostly hooked to shore power when you do? I notice Delos never mentions those features but they have numerous people on board and are often way out in the boonies. Thanks for sharing!!
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
Depends on Power. If we run the generator we can use everything anywhere. Off the 24 volt system (batteries) we can run everything except for AC, hot water heater, and the dishwasher.
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
When you are hooked to Shore Power you are obviously at a marina.  Marinas are usually more expensive, and they charge a lot for power.  Also, the Amel's are French built boats, so they use 220 Volts 50 Cycles.  If we can get 220V 50C power we can run everything at the marina.  Most marina power is 220V 60C or 110V 60C, which changes what we can use.  If the marina has 220V 60C, we can charge our batteries, run the AC units,  heat the water, but we can not run the washing machine or the dishwasher.  I know, there is no need to run the dish washer, but if you don't use it once in a while, it will stop working.  If you only have 110V 60C, I think I will have to run mostly on solar or turn on the genset.

Fantastic tour; much to return to and learn. Am I correct in assuming that there have been a large number of aftermarket upgrades either by Jim or yourself, particularly regarding instrumentation and galley equipment?

Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
Thanks for watching our videos!  There have not been too many upgrades to Aquarius since leaving the factory.  Except for the washer, everything is stock in the galley.  And, except for the sonar, almost all the instrumentation are stock.  I did add an AIS (not shown), which if your going to sail in the middle of the ocean, should be mandatory.

It took me 6 months or longer to learn about this boat through Delos. You did it in an hour and with even more detail. AMEL sure knows how to may a sailing yacht. When I saw the stainless railing instead of cable around the boat...I knew this was a top notch company! Happy Holidays and thank you for an amazing video! PEACE OUT!

Hello Ken, as we'd seen previews, we had an idea that the final version would be good. It is in fact excellent and it would be a fine primer for anyone thinking of purchasing an AMEL SM. Well done matey!!! Disregard those few people who gave you a thumbs down; they are of no importance.
Drew Cunningham
Drew Cunningham - 6 years ago
maybe of no importance to Amel's bottom line Jean - Pierre, of which you are undoubtedly inextricably tied! - but it is of importance to real lovers of sailing and of videos featuring true to life sailing experiences! IE: people who don't want to sit around and watch click bait bought and paid for by greedy corporate creatins !!! If you simply want to post corporate commercials for half million dollar super yachts, then you should at least be upfront about it and say so in your opening post - THIS IS A COMMERCIAL FOR THE AMEL MARAMU 2000 - four fifths of all youTube viewers could never afford the quarter of a million dollars a 25 year old 50 foot range Amel costs let alone the half million plus USD and new Amel Maramu 53 footer costs ---------get real man!

Jim Hard - 6 years ago
Real good video , very informative especially for those interested in the Amel's and benefits of Amel. Those Super Maramu's are the peak of Henri Amels accumulative sailboat design career. They look so well designed; common sense, ease of use, safety, livability, function, quality, innovation at times, durable.... So many qualities and well thought out systems and placement. I really really like the Center cockpit behind a hard dodger (Where else would you want to be in rough or cold weather?) And esp with the Helm with a chair... Come On! Skeg mounted Rudder ... yeah- can't see a NON skeg mounted Rudder. Too vulnerable. And the systems and amenities all through for long voyages. Amel is jus so complete. Congrats on your Boat. Enjoy
Eddie Ohearn

Have you ever worked on one? My guess is not. Parts and services do not exist
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
I completely agree with Jim!
Jim Hard
Jim Hard - 6 years ago
Yeah. For LOOOONG voyages! Im sure there's reasons And for Racing / Hi performance sailing But like we said - on Long Blue Water Voyages WHY would you want to Stand on the very back? Jus don't get it. I have been looking at Sailboats a lil lately And most are Helms on the back and even the RARE Center controls are still Standing and in the middle of the Cockpit. So far the Amels are the only Vessels Ive seen with Center Control behind a Hard Dodger and a seat (Brilliant I think , comfortable/safe/ and ease of use for long periods of watch say Night watch or Heavy weather) I did see An 80 foot plus Custom sail vessel For Sale a lil North Of me It had the Dual Huge Wheel stand up Helm at the very back of vessel But it had a third Helm Center cockpit behind Hard Dodger with Seat... pretty cool. Expensive but cool. Another boat near me For Sail in Mid 150's Its a 1970's Canadian made regularly used / maintained Vessel with Center control behind Hard Dodger But its stand up mid cockpit.... I don't get it. ! Its in the way for entertaining etc. and Your stuck standing. And no or little room to put a table Outside. Wow! And at mid 150's ...Mmmm. You can regularly find Late 80's Amel for sale 120's to mid 150's. Theres several for sale now (2 In Florida 120's / 1 mid 150's) Im sure theres a Lot more. But Rear Helm is Considered "Pure" by many in Sailing World , Im sure Again for Racing & performance & ability to see to track better... Im sure it ,makes sense. But like we been saying; Long range Blue water sailing and arriving in comfort / less fatigued - Center Cockpit Hard Dodger. Where else would you want to place your wife or girlfriend Or Kids old enough to do watches?
onthebeaches1
onthebeaches1 - 6 years ago
Who would want anything besides a CENTER COCKPIT?! Who ever thought of putting the helm in the back of the boat so you were forced to stand there and be pounded by the elements while wearing foul weather gear still perplexes me to this day. I could see it for a day sailing vessel but not a Blue Water rig doing passages for many days at a time. NO THANK YOU! Ü

Newbie Question:

Does your radar have much of a blind spot due to the forward mast?
Sailing Aquarius Around The World

I have to say, there are boats much older than Aquarius, with the same radar working perfectly.  I have so much to fix, and don't want to fix something that is not broken.

Many say putting your boat name on your dinghy is a safety issue. It tells anyone who sees it at a dock that your boat is unattended. What do you say to this topic?

Thanks JP!

Jean-Pierre Germain
Jean-Pierre Germain - 6 years ago
Some countries (most EURO countries) have legislation requiring the name of the boat to be legible on the tender/dinghy.
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
When I bought Aquarius it had the name on the tender, and most tenders I see maintain the parent vessel's name. Many times there are more than a few people on board a vessel, and just because the tender is ashore does not always mean that the boat is unattended. That said, it is true many times the dingy is locked to the dock with no one on board the parent vessel. Bottom line, most of the thieves are going to steal your tender before breaking into a boat! So, having your name on the tender helps protect it from theft. If a person is so afraid of pirates, and thieves I don't think this lifestyle is for them. You have to be aware that the pirates and thieves are always looking for a target, I just try to be as small a target as I can be...... Anchor with friends! Don't stay in one place more than one night alone where locals can watch for patterns in your behavior. Make good friends, as they will help protect your boat, and you can help protect theirs. There is much less theft/piracy than most people think when cruising. The only thing you have for fear, is fear itself.

Definitely your best technical work to date. Love the Amel tour! Since you’re asking for specific suggestions I’d have to say audio audio audio! Rode (and others) make excellent, relatively inexpensive mics with windscreens! Absolutely crucial to kill the wind noise and get directional audio. Other than that shooting early and late day will make the prettiest pictures. Mid afternoon light is harsh. Keep up the good work! hoping to get myself out there one day...

Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
Hi Robert, thanks for watching and thanks for suggestions. Already have Rode + "dead cat" cover and do our best to use it as much as possible, sometimes we not fully prepared as it needs additional connection for GoPro (other camera is not water friendly) and it does not work (or we were not able to find adaptor) with iPhone 7... Again - thanks for healthy criticism will try to do better next time! As per shots during the daytime - you absolutely right again, just living on a boat does correct your day schedule a bit (or maybe this is just a lame excuse), but we still learning a lot - about boat, sailing, being constant travelers without ability to get stuff from Amazon, learning photography, our new camera, older GoPro's, drone and the whole video making... It would be so much easier if we had previous experience at least in one of these areas... But I believe Someday we will be much better :D ...

Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
Hello Amir,  Thanks for watching!  There were several reasons why we started this adventure, but one stands out....  Life is a depreciating asset.  So, if your going to do it, do it!   I think Amel's are the most comfortable, affordable, and safe blue water boats made.  But, that's just one sailors opinion. Best, Ken
Brent Cameron
Brent Cameron - 6 years ago
Nice Amel and very well explained.   I quite like the forward switch on the bow thruster.  I don't think that's original as none of the other Amel's I've sailed on have it but it's a great way to ensure you don't try to power the bow thruster down without removing the locking pin first.  I did notice that you don't seem to have a lot of upward force on the pin at rest and from what I've seen and read on the owners forums, it should be setup to stop just shy of full tension and then you squeeze the cables to bring it all the way up to get the pin in/out.  Also, be careful of sailing with the mainsail out and the front window fully open as you had it at one point in the video as an unintended gybe or tack will shear it right off.  Apparently it's one of the most common things the Amel guys work on.  A couple of wine corks do a good job of keeping the window cracked to get some breeze through without lifting it so far that the traveller will get it - it also keeps most of the spray out.  I hope to get my own Amel this coming fall and I really appreciated your great tour.   Merry Christmas!
Sailing Aquarius Around The World
Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago
MERRY CHRISTMAS BRENT,
Thanks for the hints, and yes we have almost taken off our front window a few times.  Thus, we only have the window open on a starboard tack now.  Good idea using corks to keep the window a jar....  I will put this in my tool box!  All the best, and hope you get a good Amel.  They are great boats!
Cheers,
Ken

Your channel is right on track. Unique rarely visited destinations are always good for content. Need to get the word out on this channel. You should make comments on every major sailing channel. That will build subscriptions. We need to see if Delos will give you a plug - at least you can make a comment on their episodes. I gave you a plug on the Amel Yacht Owners Facebook Group page.
