Don’t miss out on a well known AMEL model ready to cruise. Just fitted with a new Lithium battery, and DCDC converter, this boat is out there cruising, not laying in a marina. Jump aboard with your items and off you go.
Meticulously kept and always clean, well maintained and in perfect shape, this is a single handlers or a couples dream boat. The 46 Maramu was Henri Amels favorite of all his designs and certainly one of ours.
Last complete refit in 2016. Ready to cruise the world and sold as turn key, bring you personal belongings and head out to some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world, in San Blas, Panama, or cross the canal to head into the Pacific. In Panama, the world is at your doorstep.
Many new upgrades, and all the cruising kit you will need including wind generator, solar, watermaker and lithium house bank battery.
Boat will be in Turtle Cay, Panama for viewing
Equipment: - New 200AH lithium battery with DC-DC charger. -Spectra Ventura Watermaker (with many spare filters) - Brand new Genaker (only used once) - Recently painted bottom and topsides and deck. - new Gel batteries (two 8D, one Bosch Group 31), one older 4D battery for windlass - Kyocera solar panels (two 120 Watt, one 100 Watt) - Extensive Spare parts. I have literally spares for almost everything. - Huge selection of tools, both power and manual - 9 ft AB aluminum dinghy with 15hp Yamaha outboard (2018), well cared for and maintained. I haul out my dinghy every evening alongside the boat. - 12V fridge/freezer (in use), 110V freezer and fridge (haven’t been used in 4 years and most likely need maintenance. - many gadgets, like Garmin/Delorme phone, EPIRB, portable radio, binoculars, pretty much anything one would need for safe offshore cruising.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.6 kn
Classic: 8.01 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
17.9
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
27.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
273.8
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
36.3
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.7
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
