- Bringing you the AMEL 50, Sublime blue water sailboat. Once again, the team at AMEL put on a great show at Dusseldorf and were very welcoming. We were invited to look around the AMEL 50 blue water sailboat.

The date has been set;) for a test sail here at La Rochelle (YES), so if you have questions for AMEL put them in the comments below for me please;)
Thanks for the excellent tour! I was wondering how one would handle this boat single handed, especially when it comes to docking. Maybe you can ask the amel guys. Keep up the good work!
@@sailinggrace9207 We will get it all on video for you and put a novice on the helm just for good measure;) Thank you for your question.
@@SVTONICBoatWives Awesome! Can‘t wait! Thank you!
Awesome video. I'd like to hear how much noise the Amel 50 makes on the inside while sailing, I've heard it shouldn't make a lot of wood cracking noises like most boats. Thank you
@@caioevangelista4815 I am with you on this one. I would hope there is very little noise under power and under sail. Thank you for your question and for watching the video;)
What an awsome vessel! My new dream boat!
Beautiful vessel,love it
Thanks for the Video and informations. Can't wait to see the "Test Sail". Love to see you on the Boat Show 😘 hope to catch up again⛵️⚓️
There might be a surprise on the test sail;)
thanks for the congratulations from the subscribers, already looked,
very educational video. wilhelm and olga😍
Thanks guys, and thank you for watching;)
The dream boat
I actually liked this review. Something fresh and nonchalant for a change. I didn't know you could use the front cabin door as an ersatz bulkhead.
As for the boat itself. MAYBE you could ask someone at Amel about it. Everyone is very quick to praise Amel for their "engine room" with "everything in one place". But I've seen youtube channels of people who buy Amels USED, and it is FAR from ideal. For example, those lovely "in one place" valves are good but problem is, those are the ONLY valves on the entire boat. You can't isolate one head or one sink if something goes wrong. You have to completely cut off water from the whole side of the boat. And if something happens in the middle of the ocean and you don't have a spare part, you are left with a HUGE inconvenience.
And I REALLY don't like a huge section of the boat being walled off for the engine room. I honestly think having all the machinery and tanks under the sole is a better idea.
And THANK GOD, Amel finally got rid of the mizzen. NOBODY knew why their 40-footer needed a mizzen. Must've been their "Citroen moment".
Best boar I've ever seen. Ty great presentation
Thanks, glad you liked it.
thanks, nice review and informative
Nice Boat, but a Oyster 495 gives a "warmer feeling) inside.
But in the end, this boat has it all for long distance and small crew. Lot's of protection and "push button" sailing for the older people (I AM ONE OF THEM), who want to have the comfort of a big boat and don't want to have that much "stress" sailing it.
This old man is gettin one and you’ll never see me again. Take my wife, please.
Got a tour of one of these in The Bahamas!! Perfect monohull except for deep draft
I believe they have a shallow draft option, but I will ask for you when we do our sail test next week with them;) Next time you are in the Bahamas, if you have space for crew, let me know;) just being cheeky one of the sail destinations on my bucket list;)
@@SVTONICBoatWives yeah currently on a 50 ft jeaneau that draws 5’8” and draft makes a huge difference here in Bahamas
What’s the word ? Shallow draft version?
Yes it is possible to have a shorter but heavy keel,
Hi! Thanks for one more review on this amazing boat. I'd like to see its systems in action on your "test sail". Tacking, furling, etc and how it handles wind and waves. What would be an ideal speed for crossings, the balance between speed and not forcing the systems unnecessarily? Something around 8 and 10 knots, not matter the weather (furling sails on tought weather to keep the speed on this range)?
How does it handles waves and harder seas compared to other boats?
We've already been seduced by what is is. The question now is: how capable it is. Hope you can bring some light on this!
Thank tou very much!
We will do everything we can to answer all your questions, but a lot will depend on the conditions we have on the day. Amel has agreed to let my partner operate the boat as she is a complete novice sailer to show how easy it is to manage one of their sailboats. Thank you for your questions and for watching the video;)
@@SVTONICBoatWives your partner operating will be great!! Hope the weather conditions give us a light on the other questions. VERY curious to see this video! All the best!
@@joseerazevedo Thanks;)
Great video, thank you so much. I may have a few questions:
Can they add a stern thruster?
Can we have a kitchen extractor?
Any different options for davits (and additional solar panels on them)?
I can answer them for you now if you wish, but it will be more fun on the test video if you prefer. I have written your questions down, so thank you for watching;) and commenting.
@@SVTONICBoatWives :) I'd like to see your answers now but if you say it's better to wait for a little more, i can impatiently wait with great excitement.
Amel is The Best Sailing Vessel in the World.
She is great.
Amel's are such beautiful boats in their layout and design; however, i can't sail but it doesn't matter because i can't afford one any way.
Did you ever get to go on the sea trial of the Ames 50? Looking forward to that video.
Yes, it will be uploaded for next week and we then have the Allures 45, an amazing blue water sailboat and the Allures 51.9.
I don't understand the twin rudders? Have you tried to back a twin rudder single screw sailboat into a slip? It sucks. I assume there's a bow thruster but that only keeps your bow straight. I'm curious to see what happens when put your rudder over hard to kick your stern over and all the prop thrust goes right between both rudders and does nothing. You need to be making way for them to react because there is no prop wash rushing passed them. You'll see.
Totally agree on twin rudders. Also the rudders are not protected by the keel. They are only necessary because they abandoned all pretence of hydrodynamic design by carting full beam aft, so when heeled the bow goes down, the stern up and a single rudder can't work as it is now mostly deflecting air. So sailing qualities are discarded in the interest of more hull volume.
@@deerfootnz I think it's a bad idea in a cruising sailboat. I chartered a 50ft Oceanis that had same set up. sucked backing into a slip. Amel use to lead the industry in innovations and now they blindly follow the newest trend. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I bet that is what the old man would have said.
@@robertfreeman2322 the twin rudders are only necessary because of poor design options at the aft end of the hull. And those design options are only necessary if you abandoned every value your founder who gifted you the company had and blindly follow the market down the same rabbit hole as 3d tv and betamax tape
❤❤❤
A ver si me toca la lotería 😅
please stop putting your hand in the lens ... its extremly annoying
I’ll do what I can
👍
I don't like the idea of twin rudders. More moving parts, more maintenance, more money, more things that can break.
Too much electronics and automatisms for my taste, considering its blue water long haul purposes.
But very, very nice for off shore or internal waters.
i genuinely approve of the center cockpit; however... who is going to sale this thing across oceans for any duration? salt water is going to eat all those exposed fancy electronics alive over time. looks like an over-engineered weekend warrior toy boat (very expensive).
The third time the hand went over the camera I turned off. Can't stand this lazy approach to editing.
That’s a shame, you missed a great sailboat. Never mind.
Cannot listen to someone who has tattoos on their fingers.
wonderful boat but in my opinion it is no longer a real sailboat!
I can't believe the idiots have put twin rudders on the thing tbh. Best Wishes. Bob. 😢
what is it then? there are a couple of them sailing around the world
@@brownnoise357 idiots????? even the kraken 50 has twins as it is the way to go
@ABC gang Twin Rudders disqualifies it as a Cruising Sailboat. If a nistake that large has been made, then my money is on there being others as well. I basically lost interest and stopped watching as soon as I heard that, because it said all I needed to know to abandon any prospects of buying an Amel. They clearly have forgotten what their reputation has clearly said they should be building, yet charge a significant price premium for the result ? Pass. If Suckers want to buy one, fine throw your money at them and enjoy posing on something that is no longer what it once stood for. 🤔Personally I have more sense than Money, and have no I Teresa in Boats for Brand Posers (basically they are like the bulk of Porsche drivers, all wallet and no bottle, I used to love playing with them on Motorbikes. And finding someone in a Porsche who could really drive, was a very rare beastie. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
@@johannesnuyten3809 Yes twin rudders are idiotic. apparently a lot of Sailboat Racers are having the twin rudders removed and replaced with a single Rudders, to get feedback from weatherhelm again, plus reduce the vulnerability to lobster pots, crab pots, and fishing nets. On a Cruising Sailboat, they are seriously idiotic for the exact same reasons. Same goes for ruddy Deep Draft Keels if you ever want to tuck into somewhere sheltered like a Shallow Bay out of the way of an incoming storm. Cruising Sailboats have totally different requirements to Racing Sailboats, and it definitely pays Not to confuse the two in one boat. Only an idiot would do that. Isn't that right ? 🤔
Sounds like a man. Maybe is one.
The one thing I like to see, is the boat specs either in the description below or shown on screen they want to sit in front of the boat if you can do it without showing a glare
