Amel has created a very functional Blue Water cruiser that is highly sought after. These yachts are capable of very long distance trips in a safe and secure craft. They are designed specifically to be handled by a couple with the aid of many electric winches and there is no need of a large crew. ‘La Querida’ is fully equipped and very well maintained. There are six sails -all are in very good condition. The engine recently fully serviced. The interior is nicely appointed and in VG/excellent condition. The galley has all the conveniences of home including a clothes washer. The huge salon is a center point of comfort underway or at a slip. There is a total of three refrigerator or freezer boxes. There is a nice owner’s cabin aft w/ queen berth and huge lockers. The guest cabin forward features a double to port and a single berth to starboard. Two heads fore and aft. The overall appearance and upkeep is VG to Excellent. This yacht is ready to take you wherever you wish to travel.
Equipment: 88lb Rocna main anchor w/ 330ft 3/8 inch HT chain handled by a Lofrans windlass. Amel bow thruster lowers vertically. 8-AGM battery house bank, with Onan 6.5KW generator plus battery chargers and inverters of various voltages. Solar panels over the arch with an excellent dinghy hoist for 10.5 ft RIB and 9.9Hp outboard. Standard Amel watermaker. The engine is a turbo charged 68 HP Volvo Penta that was fully serviced in December 2021. The wind/water instruments are B&G Hydra; there are two new Garmin SV 7612 color chartplotters-one at the helm and one at the chart table below. The Garmin HD radar overlays that display and there is a forward scanning Garmin depthsounder as well. There are redundant Ray Marine autopilots. The Amel genoa furler is 2 speed electric and sheeted to Lewmar 58 electric winches. The mainsail (new in 2018) is furled in-mast with an electric winch.
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Replacement to the MANGO 52.
Listed Sail Area: From Amel’s documentation on standard upwind sails:
Main Sail: 35 sq Metres
Genoa: 67 sq Metres
Mizzen: 19 sq Metres
Total: 121 sq Metres (1,302 sq feet)
It can also carry (at the same time as the above although you usually drop the main):
Ballooner: 69 sq Metres
Mizzen Ballooner: 35 sq Metres
Which would bring the total to 190 sq Metres (2,045 sq feet)
Auxillary power: There were three different standard engines used, the Perkins MT80 (80 HP) was the original, the similar but rebranded Volvo TMD22A (78-83 HP) and the Yanmar 4JH4-HE (78 HP). The most popular engine by far was the Volvo TMD22A
The SUPER MARAMU 2000 was introduced in 1999.
