You prefer the Beneteau. Their Oceanis 41 has a CSR of well over 2 and it‘s meant to be a blue water sailer. The Amel 60 ist 1.82. Anything over 2 for an „ocean going” yacht is not good. Went aboard the Amel 60 at the Düsseldorf Boat Show a couple of years ago. It’s really a truly wonderful yacht, well built but comes with a hefty price tag.

Hit it guys, from an Amel owner and fan of Amel yachts. Amels stopped with the death of Henri. Prop on the back of the keel, skeg hing rudder etc.
Unfortunately boats now days customwant interior volume and wide sterns, for this you have to have twin rudders

One question though guys, have ever of you ever sailed an Amel?
I have sailed many boats over 40 years of sailing. After sailing and living on an Amel. If I ever change boat again, it would only be another Amel.
OK I admit, not past the 55 or 64 though. Henri is I’m sure turning in his grave with the design of the 50 and 60. Not to mention they have a mast missing!!
That said be honest guys, if any of you were offered a strait swap you boat for an Amel 60? Yeah you know you’d take it

Bryn, scope is the same under anchor for any boat, that’s how it works, also a larger heavy boat will swing far less. On our 36 foot Jenneau Sundance at 3.5 tonnes we anchored at 5:1 scope with 8mm chain and a 15kg anchor. On our our Jenneau 45.2 at 9.5 tonnes we anchored at 5:1 scope with 10mm chain and a 25kg anchor. Now on out 53 foot boat, and yes it’s an Amel Super Maramu, we anchor at 5;:1 scope with 10mm chain 2nd a 48kg anchor. So the point is as boats get bigger, the ground tackle also gets bigger, but the scope does not!

Bryn mate…,,you hit it on the head. Amels are to me the Landrover of the sea. Built to do a job and do it so well. No necessary pretty but a work horse.
Unfortunately, just like Landrover, new models not as good as older ones, Amel fell into this trap with 50 and 60

Keel is weight below…..carbon mast is weight aloft. So makes perfect sense , if you know anything at all about boat design?
Weight aloft induces healing and pitching, weight below is stability

Bryan…..WTF…. prefer a Bendy-toe to an Amel!??
Have any of you sailed around the world or crossed oceans?
However the Amel – no it’s not true ro Amel, after Le Capitain is dead, so not his fault.
To me, yes an Amel owner, the last 2 great Amels are the 55 and 64 yes please do like either.

Just found you guys and enjoying the friendly banter, I love Amels and prefer the New 50 over the 60! but if i had money i'd bypass em both and go for the older 55 Ketch! i also like my motorsailors have you even done a discussion on the Nordhavn 56 MS? it would be a toss up for me Amel 55 or Nordhavn 56MS.
