Description
If you have never seen an Amel, it is hard to appreciate the thought and consideration that has gone into her design. The Amel 53 is a purpose built passage maker, designed and constructed to effectively deal with the realities of ocean voyaging and long term liveaboard. Watertight collision bulkheads, fully weather protected helm station with electric winches and furlers for easy sail handling, full sized engine room with complete and easy access to all maintainable systems, low maintenance exterior, extremely functional interior, lots of storage space both on deck and below, are just some of the features offered by the Amel. She comes highly recommended for the serious offshore sailor.
Indigo has had meticulous maintenance and undergone extensive updating in the last 10 years with the current owner. This includes, in just a partial list, a new Yanmar engine, rebuilt generator, new canvas, new refrigerator and freezer, new running rigging, new aft AC system, rebuilt bow thruster, transformers installed to convert to US electric, and stunning new hull paint.
This beautiful Amel is ready for it's next fortunate owner to go literally wherever they choose, as it's one of the most capable and renowned blue water sailboats ever made. She is absolutely ready in all respects to step aboard and continue cruising.

VESSEL WALK THROUGH
Beginning Forward there is a large chain locker that is isolated from the accommodation by a full height water tight collision bulkhead with a water tight door allowing access into the chain locker. Access to the retractable bow thruster is also in a locker forward of the cabin. The guest stateroom is just aft and has a very large v-berth with provided filler panel and cushion that then converts this
v-berth into a large double berth to port with a single berth to starboard. There is a writing desk hung on the bulkhead that folds down or up as required, converting this cabin to an office. – Just aft to starboard is a very generously sized hanging locker with the guest head opposite to Port. The guest head has a vanity with wash basin, marine toilet with holding tank, and an integral shower with a well designed spray curtain that effectively provides a stall shower.
Just aft of the head area is the Salon. The saloon is separated from the forward accommodation by a full height watertight collision bulkhead with a watertight door. The saloon contains a very spacious u-shaped dinette with table to Port and a Settee opposite to starboard. Outboard of the Settee is a pull out pilot/sea berth. Outboard of the sea berth are lockers. A virtually identical locker arrangement is opposite outboard to port. The full sized navigation station is aft of the salon to starboard with the u-shaped galley directly opposite to port. The navigation station faces outboard with a large chart table and a pylon seat. There is storage inside the chart table for navigation supplies as well as two drawers and two lockers just beneath. Just next to the navigation station is a large hanging locker, suitable for jackets and foul weather gear. The Large U-shaped Galley (on Port side) has extensive counter space and storage cabinets. It is convenient to the companionway stairs to the cockpit, and the lower dinette The passageway to the aft cabin runs along the starboard side of the vessel and contains a single berth with the battery containment compartment just beneath. This is an excellent sea berth, as it is located quite low inside the vessel and very close to the center of the boat, fore & aft. The owner’s stateroom is all the way aft and has a full height watertight collision bulkhead at its entry with a watertight door. There is another full height watertight bulkhead at the extreme aft end of the owner’s stateroom, partitioning this cabin from the huge “garage” lazarette accessed from on deck. The owners stateroom has an ensuite head to port. There is a large double berth to port with a settee and vanity opposite to starboard.

CONSTRUCTION:
The Amel Super Maramu has a construction technique that is absolutely unique in the industry. The yield is an extremely strong and solid one piece hull and deck assembly; a true monocoque. All Amels, since 1967, have been built with Amel designed biaxial fiberglass cloth. This is a flat woven fiberglass cloth that is much stronger in sheer and tension than conventional mat and woven roving laminates. It is lighter, stronger, and better. The hull is molded in one piece incorporating one piece/non-spliced lengths of biaxial cloth running from bulwark, down through the keel/centerline, and up to the opposite bulwark. In the same fashion, the next series of laminates run from the bow lengthwise to the stern, again, employing one piece/non spliced lengths of biaxial cloth. The deck assembly is built in a similar fashion. While the hull is a solid fiberglass laminate with no core, the deck assembly employs a core of Baltek vertical end grain balsa in strategic horizontal areas to enhance stiffness and is insulation from heat and noise. There are also substrates of “Iron Wood” in the deck assembly where cleats and the windlass are installed to easily accommodate the increased compression and shearing loads in the foredeck. While the completed one-piece hull is still in the mold, ALL the furniture and structural bulkheads, less non-structural drawers and cabinet faces, are installed. After all the structural assemblies are completely installed, the separately completed deck assembly is joined to the hull (again, while it is still in the mold) with six layers of the same biaxial cloth used in the primary laminations, around the entire hull to deck interface. What this accomplishes, effectively, is the elimination of a conventional hull to deck joint. The hull and deck are married with a homogeneous fiberglass matrix, which insures a strong and leak free hull and deck join for the entire life of the vessel.
