The keel is a long, low aspect ratio cruising type with external ballast that is broad & sturdy enough to allow the MARAMU to stand on her own bottom when in a shipyard. The propeller is mounted on a partial skeg for protection. Its position close to the keel minimizes crabbing sideways when using reverse, while still allowing it to throw quite a bit of water at the rudder when manoeuvring forward at slow speed. The large rudder is at the aft end of the waterline for excellent authority, & is hung from a substantial skeg that is, by actual test, strong enough to support the entire vessel's weight without damage in the event of a grounding. Both the bow & stern employ shapes that provide a gradual buoyancy increase for a sea kindly motion underway. The hull is protected around its full perimeter by a very sturdy rub rail at the area of most extreme beam. The deck areas on the MARAMU are wide and unencumbered, with plenty of hand holds for easy & safe movement on deck. The non skid is a very effective molded-in surface that requires no maintenance other than periodic wash downs. The aft cabin top, just aft of the cockpit, is ideally suited for those who enjoy sleeping on deck as it is very wide and is eight foot long. You can obtain and rig up a very effective tent over the mizzen boom for on deck sleeping if so desired HULL & DECK etc.: fixed, high & secure stainless steel Pulpit/push pit and handrail with opening port to stern - Bow fitting with anchor roller – 4 mooring cleats - Self-draining anchor locker & gas bottle storage – COCKPIT: The cockpit is one of the most important aspects of any cruising boat's design. More so than any other area of the boat, one lives in the cockpit when cruising. In marked contrast to most other center cockpit boat's, the MARAMU cockpit is deep, and located much lower within the hull. You sit in this cockpit rather than on it, cockpit seating areas are exceptionally comfortable. The seats themselves are properly angled as are the very high seat backrest which are a minimum of 16" high. As hand steering becomes tedious when making passage, most sailors rely on an autopilot when at sea. Hand steering & immediate access to all sheets & lines is essential, however, when the weather turns inclement. With this in mind, the steering station on the MARAMU is located against the forward cockpit bulkhead where it is fully protected by the rigid & very substantial fiber-glass cockpit dodger, large front windows with one opening part for ventilation - with the provided side curtains installed, the helmsman is completely protected from wind, waves, and spray. Comfortable upholstered helmsman seat. Compass, nautical instruments and engine control lever. In tropical latitudes, the sun is your worst enemy, and this same dodger, when fitted with the sailing bimini, provides unrivalled protection from solar radiation. There is a very study cockpit table on every MARAMU which can be left in its installed position when under sail. The portside cockpit seat is 6'6" long, and is the perfect place to have a crewmember sleep "on deck" in case the helmsman requires assistance with sail handling. Headroom beneath the dodger is 6'5", allowing the helmsman to sit or stand when at the wheel; lockers storage for life raft, heating system, dinghy ENGINE & MACHINERY ROOM: The MARAMU has what many regard as the best engine & machinery room to be found on a vessel of this size. It is situated directly below the cockpit. The cockpit sole itself is mounted on very substantial hinges, and easily lifts up to expose a stand-up/ walk around engine room. The cockpit sole is heavily gasketed, and has a proper securing system to lock it down when sailing. Access to the engine, batteries, alternators, compressors, filters, and the like, is both easy & immediate. As this area is removed from the accommodations, you need not interrupt activities below deck to perform service on the equipment ACCOOMMODATION / INTERIOR: Conventional 3x cabin layout with 2x private staterooms at opposite ends of the vessel, each with an attached head and shower. Headroom ranges from 6'6" in the saloon, 6'4" in both of the head areas, to 6'3" in both of the staterooms. Every berth aboard the vessel is a minimum of 6'6" in length. The f´w stateroom has 2x single berths which quickly convert to a large double & a single berth with the provided filler panel & cushion; hanging wardrobe, opening deck hatch. The aft cabin has a large double berth (new upholstery & fabric in January 2007), to port, a single berth to stb, and a vanity/writing desk just forward of the single berth on the stb side. The saloon area readily converts to a proper offshore off-watch sleeping cabin if needed in severer weather conditions. Both the port & starboard settees quickly make into extremely secure sea berths. This area can then be partitioned off from the galley & navigation station with the provided curtain to help insure that the off watch crewmembers are well rested, even in trying circumstances. Additionally, the portside settee also converts to a very spacious & comfortable double berths for use in harbor. The saloon dining table is located on the vessel's centerline with an extension leaf for both the port & starboard sides. Galley: near companionway to port side – FORCE 10 stainless steel Gas cooker/oven (good condition) , stainless steel sink with hot/cold pressurized water as well as additional tap for freshwater by foot pump & seawater (all taps new), well insulated DC electric top opening refrigerator & deep freezer compartment - storage with drawers & hinged covers - Navigation/Chart table very convenient near companionway to starboard side, Chart table with large compartment for nautical charts and navigation instruments – Chart table seat, instruments fitted, control board for electrical installation/fuses - ENTERTAINMENT: Radio/CD - TV & antennaNAUTIC & NAVIGATION: Compass, Baro-/Hygro-/Thermometer, Clock - B & G Instruments for: Log/Speed & Depth (Echo sounder) & Wind instrument with speed & direction and close haul at helm station and with repeater at chart table – Wind indicator - VHF–radio - GPS - autopilot - International Navigation lights - Radar & Chart plotter & Fish Finder - LOKATA Navtex with printer - SSB transceiver and antenna tuner – insulated mizzen backstay for antenna - COMMENT: Present owner bought in 1992. Boat hardly used as owner didn´t have time to use the yacht, therefore the vessel was stored on hard from 2002 to spring 2007. New antifouling paint work in January 2007. The yacht need some TLC. Sidewalks and some deck parts need new painting – headlining at cockpit dodger need to be renewed – interior wood and floor in good condition, as well as work tops in galleyAmel-Yachts have an exceptionally good reputation for high quality boat building by easy handling with good comfort and good sea going performance. The boats are ideal and economic to maintain. Many of these boats are used for long term cruising or circum navigations
